Access your inner wisdom on this life changing week-long journey of introspection, nature immersion and profound transformation on healing mecca Ibiza. From €1.595


A rite of passage.

Perhaps you feel like you’re at a crossroads, unsure where you’re supposed to be going next. You might be feeling frustrated, stuck, uninspired, trapped by your circumstances. Or you are just looking for deep inspiration for this next stage in your life.

If this is you, we warmly invite you to come rejuvenate, rest and heal with us. This retreat, an ancient rite of passage in a contemporary setting, promises to unlock the clarity hidden within your subconscious, guiding you to live your purpose.

In a splendid farm-turned-healing-center in the heart of Ibiza, you will explore your inner garden with mind-altering fungi under the most comfortable and safe circumstances, lovingly guided by highly experienced facilitators. This will help you reach places in yourself that are blocked by a lifetime of patterns, beliefs and conditioning. You will move your body to the rhythm of healing music, breathe yourself to freedom, nourish your system with incredibly tasty and nourishing food, explore Ibiza’s beautiful nature and heal your nervous system from old traumas.

A week of deep inner work, personal growth, connection and wellness, and a major kickstart for mind, body and soul that can ignite a new chapter in your life.

Do you feel the call home to your true, authentic Self?

What to expect.

Fungi ceremonies

Working with mind-altering fungi within the right set and setting can be absolutely life-changing. The core of this retreat will consist of two guided fungi ceremonies. All the beautiful somatic, trauma-informed and self-inquiry practices offered during this week of healing will serve to prepare and to integrate these two ceremonies. We invite you to read in depth about this ancient earth medicine, Stellar Folk’s approach, and what it can mean for your life on the Healing with nature page. Ibiza retreat

Supporting practices

During the retreat we will bring in both ancient and modern tools to help you get to the root of whichever is holding you back in life. We will be diving into deep and compassionate self-inquiry sessions, meditation and bodywork. The latter will consist of gentle yin yoga, transformational breathwork and somatic movement. You may also expect stunning hikes in nature, dancing and campfires under the stars.

All these practices are to support your wellbeing in the best possible way and to help you awaken and relax the body, restore the nervous system and inspire mindfulness of the body-mind-heart connection. We will gently guide your system to peel off the layers of conditioning, beliefs, insecurities and coping mechanisms that keep you from feeling safe, loved, grounded, nourished and in peace. In other words: living the life you deserve, aligned with your true Self.

Rest and indulge

Besides all the deep inner work and play, there will be plenty of down-time for you to enjoy reading your book under the Ibiza sun by the pool, go for a stroll, visit a beach, enjoy the wonderful surroundings, or just relax in your room or tent.

We will be serving mouthwatering, healthy and hearty vegetarian and vegan meals and snacks, delicious warm drinks and vitamin-packed juices. A feast for the senses! Get ready to be pampered by our chefs.

Evenings will be spent with cozy movie nights, dancing or stories by the fire.

symbiosis
noun
US
/ˌsimˌbiˈoʊ·sis

a close connection between different types of organisms in which they live together and benefit from each other

Location

The Symbiosis retreat will take place at the stunningly boho-chic Can Rafael, an amazing and cozy healing paradise located on more than 40,000 square meters of olive grove in the heart of the magical Mediterranean island of Ibiza. It offers an opportunity to experience the authentic Ibiza countryside lifestyle the island is famous for.

Family-owned Can Rafael is built using sustainable and natural materials, following the principles of energetic efficiency, in which the elements and the cardinal directions play a central role. From the house to the meditation temple and the medicinal plant garden, everything is designed according to the principles of sacred geometry. The retreat center is beautifully decorated, light and warm.

​The heart of this powerful place is a high-energy meditation temple, guarded by two exceptional amethyst druses, over 2m in size, cleansing and energizing the temple area.

Can Rafael sleeps 12 people in total and is located in the rural area between San Lorenzo and Santa Eulalia, 10 minutes driving from the latter, 18 minutes from Ibiza Town and 20 minutes from the Airport. Ibiza retreat

The venue’s website is: www.canrafealibiza.com

The spaciousness of the site allows you to completely unwind in nature or by the pool, which is surrounded by roofed daybeds. The outdoor terrace, embedded in lush nature, offers a sheltered atmosphere with long dining tables and small, cozy relaxation areas to linger.

Introducing: Guided art sessions with visionary artist and therapist Aphra Natley

Aphra Natley offers integrative therapy and energy healing in her private practice. Her heart-led, intuitive approach blends transpersonal and anthroposophical (spirit-science) frameworks, which invite a holistic exploration of soul and the bio-psycho-spiritual experiences of being human. Rooted in indigenous nature teachings, Aphra provides a safe and trauma-informed space for this exploration, through somatic inquiry with talk and art therapy, meditation, shamanic/shadow-work processes and plant medicine integration, all to help deepen self-awareness and self-mastery in transformation.

During the Symbiosis retreat, Aphra will be leading us through several guided art and shamanic exercises, with the purpose of helping to integrate your psychedelic experiences, as well as holding safe space with us during the ceremonies.

Introducing: Medicine music with Tommy Jonson

Tommy Jonson, singer and guitarist from the East of England, weaves together threads of soul and folk in his sound, creating music that both tells stories and resonates with the heart. His journey in music is one of deep learning, both in the art of playing and songwriting but also as a way of understanding life. Having played shows extensively both as a solo artist and in bands, Tommy discovered a profound beauty in bringing people together, through the intimate shared experience of live music. Connecting people through sound and guiding them to their centre is at the heart of his work as an independent musician, therapeutic music facilitator and teacher.

At the Symbiosis retreat, Tommy will share with us his medicine music, both in ceremony and under the stars by the campfire.

Introducing: breathwork with Sapphire Leena

Born in Ibiza to Ibicenco-Canadian parents, Sapphire has become one of the most sought-after breathwork specialists on the island. Each breathwork journey is unique and teaches us how we benefit from breathing fully and consciously, at the same time bringing changes into our lives for the better. Breathwork can help reduce the symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADD and insomnia. It can also heal trauma and make peace with the past.

Sapphire will guide you through a deep inner journey which will greatly complement en help integrate the fungi ceremonies.

Optional: massage and energy healing

Having two in-house therapists onsite, each with their own therapy room, there is also space in between activities to book a bodywork or healing session for yourself.

You can contact them directly once we’ve sent you the ‘‘free time’’ schedule closer to date. These therapies and massages are not included in the retreat price.

There is no refund after the balance is paid; therefore, please consider purchasing a travel cancellation insurance.

FAQ

  • Our personal favourite way to offer this experience is in a group setting as groups literally magnify healing; it is quite powerful!

    Each person’s discovery is an invitation for another person’s quantum leap through shared intention, exploration and most of all: shared vulnerability. Magic happens in this space.

    As Bessel van der Kolk says: "Being able to feel safe with other people is probably the single most important aspect of mental health; safe connections are fundamental to meaningful and satisfying lives."

    This is very much missing in modern individualistic society. Loneliness is an epidemic. What we offer here is a safe space where everyone’s vulnerabilities are welcome. This, combined with the Medicine, has the capacity to take everyone’s ‘personality mask’ off, which forges deep, authentic connections fast. You will feel so seen and comfortable in a matter of hours upon arrival! Mark our words.

    ‘‘Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.’’ – bell hooks.

    This article is great on the subject: Psychedelic Group Therapy Is More Powerful Than One-on-One Sessions

  • Yes, but of course there can be critical circumstances that need to be checked first. We carefully screen the health condition and medications of our participants to ensure that we can safely provide psilocybin. Head over to the ‘intake form’ button on top of the page to discover if this medicine is for you.

 Additionally, rest assured that we are highly trained, experienced and trauma-informed facilitators and guides. We are experienced with the medicine and able to create a safe space of support for all participants equally. Psilocybin is generally very safe when working with it responsibly. It is seen as the safest of all mind-altering substances. Way more than alcohol even!


    What dose will I take in my journeying? 

There are many factors that determine the exact amount of medicine you’ll take. Your full honesty/disclosure on your intake form (and the call we have afterwards) will help inform dosing. 

Generally speaking, a session is a “Moderate Macro Dose,” which is typically 2g - 3.5g. This is an inward journey, with the intention for deep healing. All doses are customised to each participant.

    You can be confident that regardless of your experience (or no experience) with this plant medicine, you will be fully supported and guided in every aspect.

  • Yes! We very much encourage you to reach out. You can message us directly on +34 670 421 513 or you can email us on hello@stellarfolk.org

  • We fully acknowledge and support all participants, no matter at what stage they find themselves on their unique path.

    We have welcomed individuals with a broad spectrum of encounters with psychedelics, spanning from novices to seasoned professionals within the psychedelics field.

    Our retreats are meticulously crafted to accommodate individuals at various levels of experience in meditation and yoga, from total beginners to adept practitioners.

    We provide daily guided meditations, and two yoga sessions intended to gently awaken the body, restore the nervous system, and foster awareness of the body-mind-heart connection.

    Everyone is welcome. Please fill out the intake form to find out if this work is for you specifically.

  • Retreats are really meant as a cocoon of safety and integration for the group of participants. We are on a week-long journey together and will go pretty deep. Bringing in folks from outside of the retreat setting can feel as a bit of a disruption of this safe space and is therefore not something we allow. If you are interested in a ceremony outside of retreat setting, you can find all the information and prices on the Fungi ceremony page.
