Is it also possible to organise a guided psychedelic session with two couples at the same time? After all, we are friendly couples and we know each other very well. The plan is to rent an Airbnb with several rooms in Amsterdam and then bring you in for guidance. How can this be organised? Do you have any tips?

Yes, that is definitely possible. With two friendly couples, it is a private group session and no others can join. In Amsterdam, this is basically possible on a suitable Airbnb, hotel flat or holiday home, provided the location is quiet, private and practically suitable.

You are two couples, but each still has their own inner process. It is therefore important to fine-tune beforehand whether the focus is on personal growth, connection within the couples, connection between the four friends, or especially a safe shared experience.

In terms of organisation, this is the best approach for us:

  1. All fill in the intake:
    Each participant separately completes the intake in. This is necessary because of medication, contraindications, psychological vulnerabilities, previous experience and personal intentions. After this, we know fairly quickly who can participate or who, for example, needs to reduce medication first.

  2. Booking a day:
    For four people, it is convenient to discuss with us how many facilitators you want and in which period or day you want to do the session. We will then reserve the day. You can also take a look here and fix a day in advance if required.

  3. Choose a suitable Airbnb in Amsterdam
    Preferably choose a full house, not shared accommodation. Multiple rooms is actually a good idea. Ideally, a place with one common room for the start, explanation, possible sharing and intake, plus separate rooms or quiet corners where participants can retreat. Avoid a crowded flat with noise pollution, neighbours directly behind thin walls, lots of stairs, shared facilities or risk of interruption by host/cleaners.

  4. Let us help with a location
    We can help you book a venue. We have a lot of experience with sessions in Amsterdam and other cities. And you might be able to use one of our locations?
  5. Follow our preparation procedure
    Based on the information you provide, we will create a plan for preparation. Follow it individually and as a couple for the best effects.
  6. Keep the following day free
    Don't count on travelling, flying, driving or social commitments immediately after the session. A good set-up is: arrive on day 1, session on day 2, wake up quietly and integrate on day 3. Especially if you come from abroad or use Amsterdam as your temporary residence, this gives much more peace of mind.

My most important tip: discuss very honestly beforehand with the four of you what you do and don't want to share during the session. Even if you know each other well, a psychedelic experience can become vulnerable. Therefore, make room for privacy, silence and individual processes. A good private group session is not “doing everything together”, but creating a safe situation together in which everyone is allowed to make their own journey.
