General Information
-
Kinisi means 'movement' in ancient Greek, and for us, Movement is life – it’s the breath, the pulse, the instinct to grow, to shift, to reach for something new.
We believe that change happens when we create space for what's ready to move, to be felt, to be seen.
We operate on the four tenants of: Intuitive Client-Centered Care, Moral Integrity and Safety, Excellence in Expertise, and Change That Is Designed To Last.We’re dedicated to guide your path towards inner flourishing and a fuller life, always driven by compassion, care, and curiosity.
-
A Kinisi journey is a private, expert-guided experience with psilocybin truffles in the Netherlands. Designed for personal growth, clarity, and performance enhancement, it blends digital preparation and integration with a core in-person journey, typically spanning around 8 weeks for lasting positive shifts.
-
Kinisi journeys are for anyone feeling a call for deeper understanding, renewed clarity, or enhanced well-being. This often includes individuals navigating significant life transitions, leaders seeking strategic clarity, or those simply ready to accelerate their personal growth and unlock their inner potential. We welcome all committed seekers who value discretion, professionalism, and a science-informed approach.
-
We use psilocybin truffles, a naturally occurring substance that is legal in the Netherlands. Psilocybin is also the active ingredient in the more commonly known magic mushrooms, and is regarded as one of the main substances in the field of psychedelics. Our entire focus is on providing a safe and carefully guided experience with these truffles, helping you gain profound insights and foster meaningful personal growth in a supported way.
-
No, Kinisi does not offer therapy or medical treatment. We do not diagnose, treat, or cure medical or psychological conditions. Our focus is on providing an expertly guided, non-medical journey for personal growth, mental well-being, and inner flourishing, serving as a powerful, complementary path distinct from clinical therapy.
-
No, prior experience with psychedelics is not required. Our comprehensive preparation process ensures you are well-informed and comfortable before your journey, regardless of your prior experience.
-
What truly sets Kinisi apart is our embedded, holistic protocol with immense emphasis on personalized, rigorous preparation (before) and dedicated integration (after) your in-person journey. Unlike many retreats that offer a shorter container, ours typically spans 8-10 weeks, with the option to prolong, all designed for long-lasting change. Crucially, we offer strictly 1:1 client-to-facilitator guidance, ensuring a purely private and bespoke experience, compared to multi-person retreats.
-
Kinisi primarily specializes in private, 1:1 bespoke journeys to ensure deeply personalized and focused experiences. We also offer private couples' psychedelic journeys. For specific needs, group experiences can be arranged upon request. We are committed to designing the most suitable and impactful experience for you.

The Journey Experience
-
After your digital preparation phase, you come to the Netherlands for your core private 1:1 experience. Here, in a safe, and highly curated environment, you will consume psilocybin truffle tea.
The journey typically lasts for around five hours, during which your guide is always right next to you, providing continuous support. Clients usually experience this in a comfortable laying position with an eye mask on and special music, allowing for deep introspection and guided reflection. This process is designed to naturally reveal profound insights and help you discover fresh perspectives.
-
When psilocybin is consumed (the active compound in magic truffles), it interacts with specific serotonin receptors in the brain. This can lead to increased neuroplasticity, allowing the brain to form new connections and temporarily reduce activity in established neural pathways. This shift can facilitate new perspectives, breakthrough insights, and a greater sense of interconnectedness, contributing to profound shifts in thought patterns and behaviors.
-
Neural rewiring refers to the brain's capacity for neuroplasticity – its ability to form and reorganize connections. Our science-rooted approach, combined with psilocybin's potential to facilitate brain adaptability, aims to support new perspectives and lasting positive shifts in thought patterns and behaviors.
-
A Kinisi experience is a comprehensive process, not just a single session. On average it spans over eight weeks, including in-depth preparatory sessions, the core psilocybin truffle experience, and a digital integration period of up to two months to ensure sustained insights and practical application.
-
Journeys are conducted in carefully selected, private, and serene environments in the Netherlands, designed to foster comfort, safety, and deep introspection, ensuring an optimal setting for your experience.
