A creative summer reset

Where creators gather to transform — immerse yourself in a psilocybin minidose summer retreat.

A space where personal transformation meets playful creation.
Where music, plant medicine, and embodiment practices like yoga, breathwork, and meditation weave together to bring new artistic visions to life.

A remembrance. A reconnection. A ride into your dreams.

This summer, we’re opening the space for a 4-day minidose psilocybin retreat at Grounded Roots in The Netherlands, 25–28 July.

This isn’t your typical retreat.

It’s a creative reset. A soft landing into yourself to explore with curiosity what’s holding you back from fully expressing who you are. A moment for connection, inspiration, and deep expansion— guided by the subtle magic of psilocybin, plenty of cacao, and held in the intimate, cozy home-style space of Grounded Roots.

This is where new visions will find you.
Where you reconnect with what creativity means to you.
A space where all of you is welcome.

The Creative Dose is for visionaries, dreamers, creators, and curious souls ready to reflect, open up, and move through what’s holding them back to meet life again with renewed inspiration and purpose.

WHAT’S INCLUDED: 

4 DAYS, 3 NIGHTS at Grounded Roots, a secluded sanctuary tucked away in lush forests and vibrant greenery. This sacred space is the perfect spot to recharge, reconnect with nature, and get back to YOU. Choose between shared rooms or cozy tipi options — bring a friend (old or new) or come solo and meet your new tribe.

SESSIONS WITH LOTTE & ISA include breathwork, meditation, yoga, psilocybin & cacao medicine journeys, and creative exploration designed to ignite deep transformation. Get ready to unlock new levels of clarity, creativity, and self-empowerment.

NOURISHMENT: Expect delicious, soul-nourishing meals, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner crafted by the incredible chef Merel Liann — food that feeds your body and spirit.

PRIVATE INTRODUCTION & INTEGRATION CALL: A personal 1:1 with Lotte or Isa to set intentions before the retreat and support your journey as you integrate all the magic afterward.

If you’re ready to embrace your full aliveness, dive into your dreams (and your shadows), and reconnect with your creativity, this is your call to join us. And remember — all of you is welcome here.

I'm ready for the ride!

Meet Isa

Isa Nijman is a mentor and guide dedicated to women’s empowerment, embodiment, and healing. She holds space for transformative experiences through women’s gatherings, yoga, plant medicine ceremonies, and one-on-one mentorship—supporting others to align with their purpose, prosperity, and authentic expression.

Both visionary and grounded, Isa bridges the worlds of art, culture, and spirituality. She creates spaces where creative practices, spiritual traditions, and community connection come together to inspire meaningful transformation.

Drawing from the yogic and feminine wisdom lineages, goddess teachings, Egyptian alchemy, and her own embodied path, Isa offers practical tools and guidance to help you reconnect with your inner knowing, creative power, and unique path to abundance.

She works with both women and men through sacred ceremonies and rituals, incorporating plant medicines such as Cacao, Psilocybin, Blue Lotus, and Rapeh. Isa offers one-on-one mentorship, group immersions, and ceremonial gatherings for those ready to deepen their connection to themselves and the world around them.

Meet Lotte

Lotte Holtrop is a breathwork facilitator, space holder, and psychedelic guide.
"I truly believe that within each of us, there is a voice of wisdom guiding us toward how we want to live. But as we navigate life, we become conditioned by our environment, caught up in the noise of the world, and disconnected from our own inner signal. This disconnect often leads us to forget who we truly are."

"Breathwork and truffles are both powerful medicines that create an opening—an opportunity to remember ourselves. Some experiences may bring up emotions, others may be ecstatic, and in between, there are 2,000 different flavors of experience. That’s why I invite you to bring your curiosity and an open heart."
You will be supported and guided with the best intentions, ensuring a safe and meaningful journey.

Our shared vision

As two women who’ve spent much of our lives in the creative industry, we know how easy it is to get caught up in deadlines, unrealistic expectations, and overthinking. Over time, it dims our light. And often, what we experience as creative blocks are really just protections—keeping us in what feels safe.

Reconnecting with creativity can feel unfamiliar—even a little scary. It asks us to play, take risks, and express ourselves like we did as children—without judgment or the pressure to get it “right.”

Because at its core, creativity is life force energy—an expression of our authenticity, a spark that connects us to the aliveness of our being.

We both worked — and still work — in the creative space, where passion meets pressure. And we’ve noticed something: so many creators stop creating or suffer while creating. We’re here to offer a loving reset. A break from the noise. A chance to reconnect with their creativity, their joy, and themselves. 

You might wonder, am I a creative person?

Our answer is simple: yes, you are.

That’s where our vision for this retreat was born. Through our own journeys and experiences, we’ve found that psilocybin is a teacher which helps you to show you what is is already present within you. They can bring insights in how we want to live our lives, what is important to us and where we’re blocked. psilocybin teaches us how to reawaken the spark within us. We wanted to create a space where creators — and anyone feeling disconnected or blocked — can tap into that clarity, let go of what no longer serves them, and rediscover their creative flow .

This retreat is a safe, transformative space where you can pause, reset, and reignite your inner fire. Whether you’re a creator, curious, an entrepreneur, or just someone who feels the needs to pause and reflect, this is a place to hit refresh. We’re here to guide you, hold space for you, and provide the tools and support you need to reconnect with your full, vibrant self.

Your home away from home

Nestled in the heart of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, just a short walk from the waters of the Henschotermeer, lies Grounded Roots — a secluded sanctuary for inner stillness, reflection and being held by nature and community.

It features an intimate studio for workshops and yoga, a cozy living and dining area with semi-circular sofas inviting deep connection, a small library for quiet reflection, and a professionally equipped kitchen where nourishing meals are prepared with care.

Merel works in harmony with the natural world to help you feel more balanced, alive, and connected. She believes our diet is not only what we eat — it’s also how we eat. Every meal she prepares is a seed of intention planted in the belly, with the wish that you wake the next day inspired to care for yourself and the world around you.

The flavors of her food are both complex and earthy, warming the central hearth of your being. Taste becomes a doorway to connection — an invitation into refined growth, where meals become moments of cultivation and nourishment for body, mind, and spirit.

Her food is truly food for soul and earth.

Two Mini dose Psilocybin Truffle Ceremonies

We offer two mind-expanding, soul-nourishing mini dose Psilocybin Truffle Ceremonies guided by music and movement. A mini dose is a light but noticeable dose of truffles.

Psilocybin gently meets you where you are—physically, emotionally, and energetically—supporting whatever is most needed on your journey in the moment.

It softly opens the door to new realms of consciousness, subtle insights, and creativity inviting you to connect more deeply with yourself and the world around you.

Is psilocybin safe?

Yes — but like anything powerful, it deserves respect and a thoughtful approach. There are a few important things we check first! We carefully review your health and any medications you’re taking to make sure it’s safe for you to work with psilocybin.

Psilocybin, especially in these low doses, is considered very safe. It’s non-toxic, gentle on the body. We’re not new to this. We’re facilitators with experience working with this beautiful medicine. 

Having a good set and setting are key factors for a safe psychedelic journey. That’s why we offer the mini-dosing in a ceremonial setting, guided by experienced space holders, in a comfortable environment where you can safely turn inward.

Before entering a journey, ask yourself: Do I have the foundation right now to receive new — and possibly confronting — insights?

A safe psilocybin experience doesn’t end when the trip is over. Integration is essential—it’s where insights settle and begin to turn into real-life shifts. We’ll be there to support and guide you through that process.

What dosage will I receive?

Great question! Dosing is personal and depends on a few things — your health, your sensitivity and what you’re showing up with. That’s why your honesty in our personal intake call is so important. It helps us figure out what’s right for you.

We offer what’s called a “Moderate Mini Dose,” typically between 3g and 4g. This is a soft but noticable dose. Combined with ceremonial cacao — which carries the psilocybin beautifully — it invites you into a deep inward journey

Whether it’s your first time or you’ve journeyed before, we’ve got you.

You’ll be fully supported, held, and guided every step of the way.

What are the benefits of working with psilocybin?

Psilocybin plants and fungi have been used in indigenous medicinal traditions for thousands of years. The scientific world has studied the benefits of psilocybin truffles since the 1950s and has repeatedly reported positive effects on behavior, cognition, spirituality and consciousness. As scientific research continues, promising results are made in neuroscience, mood and mental disorders, addiction and habit formation.

Can I take psilocybin combined with medication?

If you're on any medications, check in with your doctor before moving forward — it’s always best to get the green light! Unfortunately, if you’re taking certain medications, you won’t be able to join our programs. Got questions? No worries! Hop on a call with us, and we’ll help you get the clarity you need.

Are there any contraindications to consider?

(Please consult your doctor if you have any doubts.)

Before diving into this experience, it’s important to make sure it’s the right moment for you — physically, emotionally, and mentally. If you have certain health conditions or are currently taking medication, it may be best to wait. Please read through the following contraindications carefully:

You are pregnant or breastfeeding

You are taking antidepressants, including SSRIs

You are using lithium (lithium carbonate)

You have a history of psychosis or bipolar disorder

You are experiencing suicidal thoughts

You suffer from strong anxiety, paranoia, or intense suspicion

You are currently taking antibiotics

You have a personal or close family history of schizophrenia

You have medication in your system that may interact with psilocybin

You are currently experiencing physical or mental health issues we should be aware about

Your safety and well-being are our highest priority. If any of the above applies to you, please reach out or speak with a healthcare professional before participating.

Are psilocybin truffels legal?

In the Netherlands, fresh truffles containing natural psilocybin are totally legal to buy and consume. It’s not the case everywhere yet, but more and more countries are waking up and starting to consider making psilocybin therapy more accessible.
