After the Rains Verified

After the Rains is a small, independent retreat provider that organises mushroom retreats and community events in a valley in the pre Pyrenees, accessible from Barcelona. The focus is on supporting people who wish to experience altered states of consciousness in a calm, nature based setting. Retreats are framed as opportunities for deep connection with self, others and music, with attention to set, setting and group process rather than medical treatment.

Service

The main offering is weekend mushroom retreats with somatic practices and sound therapy in a deeply relaxing rural location. Groups are intentionally small, with places limited to a maximum of eight people for each retreat. Carla and Oliver lead the retreats and community events, bringing experience in yoga, expanded states of consciousness work, sound therapy and group facilitation. Testimonials highlight elements such as shared meals, yoga, music, group sharing and follow up support via an integration interview after the retreat.

Safety

Safety is reflected in the emphasis on set and setting, careful retreat planning and individual follow up. Participants describe feeling very well looked after from the first interview beforehand, throughout the retreat, and during the integration conversation afterwards. Reviews underline that the environment feels safe and welcoming, that the location and house are chosen with care, and that the facilitators are attentive to both group dynamics and individual needs during the mushroom ceremony and associated practices.

Care pathway

A typical journey starts when a person contacts After the Rains using the email address, phone numbers or contact form on the website. For specific retreats, they can request more information or book a place directly, subject to the small group size limit. Before attending, participants have an interview to discuss their intentions and get to know the facilitators. The retreat weekend itself includes arrival, settling into the house and surroundings, group activities, a guided mushroom ceremony with sound elements, and time for rest and integration in nature. After the retreat, an integration interview provides structured follow up to help participants process and apply their experience.
