Experiential Training Institute

Experiential Training Institute (ETI) offers medically supervised psychedelic retreats and practitioner training programs in the Netherlands, centred on psilocybin containing truffles. The organisation focuses on deep personal growth, insight, and meaning making, combining Western psychological approaches with ritual elements and an emphasis on “inner healing intelligence”. ETI works relationally and experientially, paying attention to mind, body, heart, and relational dynamics rather than positioning its work as conventional medical treatment.

Service

ETI provides small group psilocybin retreats, private one to one journeys, and couples journeys for individuals and pairs who want to explore psychedelics in a safe, legal setting. Retreats are described as transformative, professionally guided, and medically supervised, with small group formats (up to eight participants) and options that focus on personal and professional development, leadership, and relationship intimacy. Alongside retreats, ETI runs Psychedelic Practitioner Training programs (Core and Advanced) and experiential training retreats for clinicians and other practitioners, covering the full arc of psychedelic assisted care from screening and preparation through dosing day guidance and integration, using methods such as constellations, the ETI method, and models like ACE.

Safety

Safety at ETI is framed through ethics, consent, clinical oversight, and careful set and setting. The team describes itself as medically supervised, consisting of psychologists and a psychiatrist trained in the use of psychedelic compounds. Prospective participants complete a detailed health questionnaire to determine whether the retreat is safe and suitable, followed by confirmation of eligibility and a psychological and or psychiatric intake. The organisation highlights psychological, emotional, and physical safety as a priority, with individual attention, suitability screening, and integration sessions after the psychedelic journey. Retreats are held in private, safe locations with medical centres within a short distance, and the team explicitly foregrounds ethical boundaries, touch, speech, and relational dynamics when working in altered states.

Care pathway

To join a retreat, prospective participants first complete the ETI health questionnaire. After submission, the team reviews the form, contacts the person, and, if appropriate, confirms eligibility so that dates can be booked and payment completed. Once eligibility is confirmed, participants receive an invitation for a psychological and or psychiatric intake call to get to know them personally, assess whether the program is the right match, and provide more detailed information on how to prepare. The retreat itself follows ETI’s process of intentions, preparation, the psilocybin truffle journey in a carefully held setting, and post journey integration. After the retreat, integration sessions help participants make sense of their experiences and translate insights into everyday life.
