Lanka Retreats

Länka is a retreat center in Sweden that specializes in psychedelic retreats with a high level of privacy and anonymity. The retreats take place in very private and unique venues specially created for this purpose, set in a natural forest environment. Länka has a holistic approach based on principles from ISTDP, IFS, CBT and psychedelic therapy in the treatment of guests. Psychedelic therapy involves undergoing one or more psychedelic sessions with the intention of changing something in one’s inner life and behavior patterns.

Service

Länka offers psychedelic retreats and psychedelic therapy carried out by licensed psychologists and professional staff. The most common method is using psilocybin, which is the active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms. The website also mentions MDMA and LSD as psychedelic substances used in therapy. Sessions length varies from 1 to 12 hours depending on the method. Treatment can be helpful for questioning the meaning of life, anxiety, feeling emotionally shut down, relational difficulties, social difficulties and emotional inner conflicts. Treatment modalities are based on principles from ISTDP, IFS, CBT and psychedelic therapy.

Safety

Retreats are carried out by licensed psychologists and professional staff. Each treatment includes an assessment interview with a psychologist regarding intentions and expectations before a psychedelic treatment or psychedelic experience. The website does not provide detailed information about medical screening, contraindications or monitoring protocols.

Care pathway

Patients contact Länka via email or contact form to express interest in services. The treatment process includes an assessment interview with a psychologist regarding intentions and expectations, a preparation interview, a psychedelic session that varies from 1 to 12 hours depending on the method, an integrative session where a psychologist helps interpret and integrate the session, and a follow-up session for evaluation of results. Retreats take place at private venues in natural forest settings in Sweden.
