Curacura
Careful support before, during, after ceremony
Curacura’s work begins before the ceremony and continues after it. Its small-group retreats pair somatic practices with psychedelic therapy, with preparation, ceremony and integration forming the core of the process. The retreats are led by qualified psychiatrists and psychotherapists trained in psychedelic-assisted therapy and somatic practice, a clinical grounding that sets the work apart from a retreat built around a single session. The stated aim is steadier nervous-system support, clearer intuition and a stronger sense of connection, approached at a pace that resists treating healing as a quick purchase. Although Curacura’s listed address is in Amsterdam, the retreats take place at Land van Yemaya in Bellingwolde, where psilocybin truffles are legal. The cost model is by donation rather than a stated fixed retreat fee. Confirm dates, accommodation and practical details before making travel plans.

Setting
The listed address is in Amsterdam, while retreats take place at Land van Yemaya in Bellingwolde. The retreat experience is based at that venue rather than the Amsterdam address; details about the grounds and surroundings are not described.
The practice
Curacura combines somatic practices, which bring attention to bodily experience, with psychedelic-assisted therapy. Each retreat includes preparation, a ceremony and integration, supported by qualified psychiatrists and psychotherapists trained in these approaches. The tradition is not identified; newcomers can expect a guided process rather than a meditation-only retreat.
A typical day
The retreat process is described in three stages: preparation, ceremony and integration. A daily timetable, including session times and meals, is not outlined, so ask Curacura for the schedule for your chosen retreat.
Accommodation
Accommodation arrangements are not described. Confirm lodging details with Curacura before booking.
What to bring
Bring comfortable clothing for somatic practice and layers for changeable conditions. Amsterdam averages 11.4°C annually, with wetter periods in October, January and July, so a waterproof layer is useful.
