Burnout Recovery Through Breathwork and Psilocybin
My Conversation with Elevated Mind Retreats Founder, Niels
What happens when burnout becomes the catalyst for a completely different way of living?
In this episode of The Soul Pause Podcast, I sit down with Niels, founder of Elevated Mind Retreats, to explore the personal journey that led him from burnout to creating transformative retreats focused on breathwork, mindfulness, and psilocybin-assisted experiences.
Having attended one of his retreats in the Netherlands myself, I can honestly say it was a deeply meaningful experience. During our conversation, Niels shares how burnout became an invitation to slow down, reconnect with himself, and ultimately create a space where others can do the same.
Together we discuss:
- Niels’ personal burnout and healing journey
- The role of breathwork in emotional release and self-discovery
- What a psilocybin retreat involves
- The importance of intention, preparation, and integration
- Creating a safe and supportive environment for deep inner work
- Who these retreats may be suitable for
Whether you’re curious about plant medicine, exploring new approaches to personal growth, or simply looking for inspiration on your own healing journey, this conversation offers thoughtful insights into the power of slowing down and reconnecting with yourself.
