Description
I participated in the retreat recently and it has been the most profound experience in my life. First of all I consider the team to be very professional: they create the right environment and they manage to guide each of the participants through the journey according to their needs. I felt a lot of care and trust during the days of the event, which helped me relax and surrender to the experience. There is a lot of attention on set and setting, which for such an experience is very important in order to be able to take the most out of the psychedelic trip. Second, the experience itself is beautiful and extremely valuable for self discovery. I have been able to deep dive into various aspects of my life and have got really useful learnings. This has helped me to learn new things about me and gave me the tools to continue my personal development. After the trip I learned what is the feeling of awe and transcendence, and has helped me look at life with different eyes: a really amazing thing! Even if the retreat happened almost 2 months ago, I do still have insights and learnings and I feel that my growth has been boosted significantly. I do intend to repeat the experience if I need it in the future, and I would only do it with Essence team. I fully recommend the retreat and Essence Institute.

When I think about the event, often I feel and felt during the retreat 1 important thing which I believe says a lot: TRUST.
Secure
Could not have felt more safe and cared for.
Preparation
The homework was very useful to get us prepared, but also the briefing email with recommendations of what to eat before the event, what books and articles to read, what videos to watch, how to dress up, etc….I liked a lot the organisation and the preparation.I believe this is the reason why the experience has been so powerful, because I spent a lot of time on preparation.
