Love in Process
A supported path back to yourself
Here, inner work is approached as a process of returning to yourself, rather than trying to become someone new. Love in Process brings together small-group therapeutic retreats with trauma-informed support, Internal Family Systems (IFS), body psychotherapy, breathwork, embodiment and intentional psilocybin experiences. Time in nature and guided integration are part of the picture, with an emphasis on carrying insights into everyday life rather than focusing only on the ceremony itself. After the ceremony, guests are served warm organic soup and light vegetarian snacks; dietary needs can be discussed ahead of time. The Soest venue also lists a spa and sauna, along with practical touches such as Wi-Fi and free parking. Retreats run by donation, and the setting is best suited to people who value close guidance and a reflective, therapeutic approach. Ask Love in Process directly about dates, suitability and what each retreat includes.

Setting
The retreat takes place in Soest, with time in nature woven into the experience. The venue lists a spa and sauna, creating options for rest around the more inward-focused work.
The practice
The approach combines therapeutic methods with breathwork, embodiment and intentional psilocybin experiences. IFS, or Internal Family Systems, invites people to notice and understand different parts of themselves; body-based practices bring attention to physical experience as well. Beginners can expect close guidance and a focus on reflection and integration. Ask the center about preparation and suitability before booking.
A typical day
Daily structure varies by retreat. The experience includes guided therapeutic and embodied practices, a psilocybin ceremony, and time for rest and integration. After the ceremony, warm soup and light vegetarian snacks are served; ask the center for the schedule of a specific retreat.
