UNVEILING OUR EXCELLENCE IN PSYCHEDELIC RETREATS
At AWAKEN THE MEDICINE WITHIN, our unwavering commitment to excellence shines through in our meticulous curation and supervision of every transformative experience. Guided by our visionary founder, Natasja Pelgrom, and a carefully selected team dedicated to tailoring each aspect with a unique approach to servicing these experiences, we collectively boast over 30 years of invaluable experience in guiding individuals on profound journeys of self-discovery. Our interdisciplinary team comprises therapists, scientists, executive coaches, bodyworkers, and individuals who have devoted substantial time to traversing the transpersonal and spiritual path. Not only do we understand the importance of the ethical use of substances, but we are also trained in first aid support and have medical advisory and clinical supervision.
We firmly believe in the harmonious integration of leadership development, neuroscience, and spirituality. Our approach is rooted in ancient traditions, where we create a secure and nurturing environment that empowers individuals to access the profound wisdom within their own inner healer.
Furthermore, we bring a wealth of hospitality experience to our retreats and have established partnerships with regenerative boutique venues. These venues provide a unique and sustainable backdrop for your transformative journey, enhancing your overall experience. We strive to ensure that every aspect of your experience is thoughtfully curated to offer you the utmost comfort and support on your path to self-discovery.
In the recent surge of psychedelic-assisted care offerings, Natasja stands as an exceptional resource. Her extensive background includes the successful guidance of over 1000 ceremonies, an extraordinary accomplishment in the evolving landscape of psychedelic care. To our knowledge, no (research) institution has yet reached these remarkable standards.
At AWAKEN THE MEDICINE WITHIN, we take immense pride in our profound understanding of the essential roles of space-holding and the inherent humility required when working with these sacred molecules and their teachings. Our commitment to providing a safe, legal, supportive, and deeply transformative environment is firmly rooted in this expertise, ensuring that your journey is both meaningful and enlightening.
Established in 2017, AWAKEN THE MEDICINE WITHIN has since welcomed over 450 individuals. Our unique retreats seamlessly weave together ancient wisdom teachings from multiple spiritual traditions with modern, cutting-edge leadership methods with trauma-informed awareness. Our experienced team of expert facilitators not only applies psycho-spiritual approaches in our retreats but also extends their guidance to our virtual conferences, personal development courses, and community platform.
Whether you are stepping into this realm as a beginner or you are well-versed in the path of self-awareness, we provide a doorway for individuals of all levels of experience and desires.
