Osnova

Osnova is a nature based retreat space in the mountains near Malaga, Spain. The team works with psilocybin mushrooms as sacred beings, weaving together modern and traditional perspectives at the intersection of scientific and spiritual views. Their approach draws on mindfulness, transpersonal psychology, narrative work and somatic therapies, with an emphasis on presence before, during and after the journey and on the idea that each person is their own best healer.

Service

Osnova offers nature stays, writers and artists retreats, and private magic mushroom ceremonies in a simple, quiet setting in Montes de Malaga Natural Park. Guests can join magic mushroom ceremonies with preparation and integration, or take part in a writing retreat with microdosing psilocybin mushrooms that combines dedicated creative time, optional one to one creative consultations, meditation, breathwork and rest in nature. Other modalities and activities like walking, swimming, pottery or tending the garden are available to shape the stay according to individual needs, with sliding scale pricing to increase accessibility.

Safety

Before a ceremony, Osnova evaluates a personal questionnaire and then meets guests at least twice over video with the sitter to discuss intentions, doubts and personal situation. On ceremony day, dose, music and other elements are agreed in advance, and the session is held in a carefully prepared setting with continuous support from an experienced sitter, including verbal grounding, simple aids like essential oils and non sexual touch only with consent. After the ceremony there is quiet time together on site, and about a week later a further online meeting to reflect on feelings, insights and how to weave the experience into daily life, with additional integration sessions available if needed.

Care pathway

Guests typically begin with a contact or booking request and, if helpful, a discovery call. After that they complete a personal questionnaire, followed by online preparation calls with the sitter. The retreat then includes arrival at the cabin in nature, the ceremony or microdosing based writing stay, and time for rest and creative work. Integration support continues on site immediately after the ceremony and later through at least one online integration call, with options for extra in person or online sessions for those who stay longer.

Pricing

460 EUR – the basic offer including two video preparation sessions, private ceremony, overnight stay, food, and two integration sessions.
300 – community price for those who cannot afford the full price.
550 – for the ones who can give forward.
80 – private microdosing session (50 – community price) Longer stays are possible.
