Synthesis

The Synthesis Institute is a pioneering organization that offers both training and legal psychedelic sessions in The Netherlands. The services offered range from a weekend to 5-day retreats. The price does match the professional and scientific vibe.

With a proven track record for leading safe, legal, and medically supervised psychedelic retreats for over 1000 individuals, the institute has amassed years of data, experience, and anecdotal success stories. At its inception, the Synthesis Institute collaborated with Imperial College London to supplement its clinical research and with the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) to provide hands-on experience for its students to become certified in psychedelic-assisted therapies and research.

With its reputation for offering world-class, legal psychedelic experiences and its involvement in psychedelic research, The Synthesis Institute is uniquely qualified to set the standard for practitioners to safely, ethically, and effectively support individuals on a journey for healing using truffles containing psilocybin.
