The Transcendence Retreat — Come Home to Yourself
The Transcendence Retreat is a sacred space for you to step fully into your own presence - a time to Re-discover, Re-connect and Re-member the magnificent being you truly are.
Nestled at Welbedacht, with spectacular valley views, majestic mountains, wild landscapes to explore and tranquil spaces to rest or roam, this is a place designed to nurture both your body and your soul. Every moment here is crafted to create lasting memories, deep reflection and profound transformation.
Guided with care by trained facilitators across multiple modalities, the retreat is fully catered with nourishing plant-based meals and experiences designed to support you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
At the heart of the Transcendence Retreat is a deep commitment to your emotional and physical safety. We create a space where you feel fully supported and held, so you can surrender and embrace the journey.
Our approach goes beyond the retreat itself: we focus on pre- and post-retreat integration, ensuring that the insights, shifts and transformations you experience continue to unfold long after the retreat ends. You’ll receive guidance every step of the way, with ongoing support to anchor your experiences and empower you to live with greater authenticity, clarity and alignment.

Find out a bit more about who will be holding space for you during the retreat
Vanessa is a Sacred Ceremony Facilitator and a Certified Psychedelic Integration Coach.
She is passionate about being in service to others and to hold space for those who have the courage to step into "doing the work". Her personal journey, from addiction and trauma, through to recovery, has laid the foundation for her to guide others compassionately on their path of recovery.
Working with plant medicines, as well as a variety of energy modalities, creates the platform for her to help others to RE-member who they are and to RE-connect with their souls.
Svenja is an Alchemist of Change and a devoted mother of two wonderful children. She brings a wealth of powerful and beautiful practices into her work.
She is a certified Coach and Trainer of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), a Certified Shamanic Practitioner, and the creator of the profoundly healing modality Tahira-na. Additionally, she is a Nia teacher, a cacao ceremony facilitator, and a guide for those navigating transformation.
Svenja's heart swells with joy when she sees others stepping into their authentic power and healing. Her personal transformation over the past 14 years has inspired her to create a safe space for others to undergo similar journeys. She seamlessly integrates her project management expertise with a deep understanding of being truly present in the body, creating a harmonious dance of alchemy and change.
Chris has long been devoted to the healing pathways of food, music and movement. For over two decades, she has explored how nourishment and sound can profoundly shape our experience of body, mind and spirit.
Her journey began with Ayurveda nearly 25 years ago, alongside a vegetarian lifestyle she has honoured for more than 30 years. Drawing inspiration from extensive travels and cultures where food is revered as medicine, Chrisna brings deep intention and intuitive wisdom into every meal she creates. Her love language is nourishment -crafting food that restores, grounds and gently awakens.
Beyond the kitchen, Chrisna opens sacred space through live sound journeys, weaving together didgeridoo, shamanic drum, singing bowls, handpan, djembe and her voice to guide participants into embodied presence. Whether through taste or tone, she invites a return to wholeness - where the senses soften, the nervous system settles and the soul feels held.
Sacred Psilocybin Ceremonial experiences, that are medium to high dose, can catalyse deep transformation in how we relate to ourselves, others and the world around us. These sacred journeys are a powerful tool to help break negative cycles, gain insights into self-healing and unresolved traumas and deepen our spiritual awareness and connection with nature.
Allow your heart to open with newfound compassion towards yourself and others. Ceremonies are held sacredly, combined with ritual, movement, music, connection and purest intention.
