SPINOZA BIONAUT PROGRAM
FALL EDITION
6th Edition - Starting on October 7th '24
Our most immersive program for deep transformation that will last a lifetime.
Joining the Bionaut Program means becoming part of a fellowship dedicated to human growth and a renewed connection with nature. To participate in the sixth edition, starting this fall, please request an invite.
We will be exploring inner worlds with fungi and flora and discovering outer worlds with friends and fellows. We are committed to supporting each other through fields of joy and in moments of need.
The Bionaut Program is a transformative three-month journey that contains three immersive psychedelic ceremonies and ongoing one-on-one mentoring. This is an opportunity to unlock your intuitive intelligence and make nature your primary source of health and wellbeing. The program will introduce and help you navigate different ancient practices like meditation and breathwork to help you turn old habits into positive ones.
As we embark on this sixth edition, we’re excited to offer an experience that’s not just about personal growth but also about becoming part of something larger than yourself.
As a Bionaut, you’ll be invited to special curated ceremonies and retreats.

THE PROGRAM
The pinnacle of the Bionaut Program is the Ceremonies at our beautiful nature retreat centre in Maarn. Located in a lush and quiet forest, our nature centre is around an hour from Amsterdam and easily accessible via public transport. On the land, you will find a welcoming barn with a fireplace and bathroom, a nearby house with a kitchen and additional bathroom, and our yurt, serving both as the ceremony space at the two Retreats as well as the space where we sleep.
Embracing nature as the primary source of our health and well-being, we serve fresh herbal teas and organic, vegan meals with local and seasonal sourced ingredients.

One-on-one coaching sessions with your mentor take place at every step of your process. Integrating a transformative experience requires attention and inquiry. These sessions allow you to integrate your experiences and provide an opportunity to explore the insights and challenges you may encounter during your process. Your mentor will encourage you to be inquisitive, may spark your curiosity on a broad spectrum of subjects, and will offer questions that support you in your process.
During your Bionaut Program, you will have three one-on-one sessions: 1 Initiation Talk, 1 Immersion Talk and 1 Integration Talk.

Throughout the program, there will be an Introductory call, an initiation session, an immersion session, an integration session, a closing call, and lastly, a comeback call one month after the program.
In our group sessions, we will explore the insights and challenges we may have encountered before, during or after the psychedelic experiences. These sessions are meant to increase the potential of the individual and the group and to propel our personal transformation together.
Each group session is an opportunity to share yourself from a place of openness and authenticity and to be inspired by your fellow Bionauts. They will be supportive and heartwarming gatherings led by the Spinoza team.

MENTOR’S NOTE
JANNEKE
“I have been guiding the Bionaut program for 3 years now and it has become my favorite Spinoza Program. The power of being together with a dedicated group for a couple of months is very special; the intimacy of the sharings, the friendships that grow, the depth of the insights people get. It is the beautiful gift of committing yourself to going on a 3-month journey of self-discovery.”
ALEKSANDRA
“Warm welcome to this precious opportunity to dive deep within yourself, to reconnect with your truth and power. The Bionaut program is a transformative journey, where we will hold in a loving container your Courage and your Vulnerability, your Strength and your Tenderness. I am dedicated and excited to support you in the process of expanding your consciousness and embracing the totality of your being in the field of the Heart.”
MERIJN
“It is a precious gift to enter into a longer journey of transformation with a dedicated group. I already sense the potential of this program and I feel honoured to be a part of it. Deep commitment allows for deep realignment – may it contribute to the unfolding of the harmony and beauty of (our) Nature – as springtime blossoms around us.“
