Course Provider
Netherlands-based psilocybin retreat and facilitator training organization rooted in Irish ancestral traditions, founded by Dr. Darragh Stewart. Runs the Inwardbound Institute 7-day facilitation training program and psilocybin retreats drawing on trauma-informed somatic practices, IFS, and Grof's holotropic approach.
Inwardbound sits in the more experiential, lineage-led end of the psychedelic training field: part retreat centre, part facilitator school, with a strong Irish-Celtic identity and a clear emphasis on trauma-informed, somatic and transpersonal work. It is best for people who want hands-on exposure to psilocybin retreat settings rather than a purely academic classroom course, and who are comfortable with a spiritual frame alongside psychotherapy and neuroscience. The founding presence of Dr Darragh Stewart and Rob Ó Cobhthaigh gives it a distinctive blend of scientific, counselling and shamanic/transpersonal influences.
Best suited to aspiring facilitators, therapists and other helping professionals who want an immersive introduction to psychedelic-assisted work, plus people seeking a structured personal-development retreat with educational content. It is less clearly positioned for complete beginners who want only theory, or for learners seeking a formal clinical qualification.
The training pages emphasise application and screening rather than a fixed public entry credential. For the experiential facilitation training, Inwardbound expects a consultation and suitability check, and some retreat and training variants are presented for psychologists, psychotherapists or other professionals.
Inwardbound awards its own Certificate of Attendance for the online introduction course and a Certificate of Completion from the Inward Bound Institute in Psychedelic Facilitation Skills & Space Holding for participants who complete the full 7-day training and Stage 1. The provider does not present the programme as a regulated professional licence, CME or CE pathway.
Published pricing includes the online introduction course at €613.77, with some pages noting a reduced bundled price of €399 when booked with the in-person Stage 2 training. The 7-day in-person facilitation training is priced as a premium programme, and retreat pages show prices varying by location, rooming and group size; some retreat prices are listed from about €4,999 to €9,999 per person depending on format.
Learners walk away with an introductory grounding in psychedelic-assisted therapy, preparation and integration, and a practical framework for facilitation and space-holding. The training is framed as a foundation for professional development rather than a complete qualification to independently guide ceremonial work.
