SPINOZA BIONAUT PROGRAM
SPRING EDITION

5th Edition - Starting on April 22nd '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 upcoming fifth edition, starting this spring, 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.

Testimonials

Loeckie van der Wijlinck
“My Bionaut path has set in motion so many wonderfull small changes and shifts in perspective. Even now, after a full year has gone by, the program keeps unfolding a path of inner acceptance, of life, of love. From the Bionaut Program I received a new awareness of mind and body and of consciousness and oneness, which keeps teaching me ways to shift from escapism and victimhood into being. I am still discovering new insights on how to create my life, I am getting more intentional about habits, and I am continuing to purposefully create loving thoughts. I will be forever thankful to have been part of it all, for the beautiful and inspiring connections I made with the other Bionauts and with the wonderful Spinoza mentors.”
Vanessa Zarfdijan
“The moment I learned about the Bionaut program, I knew that I was going to sign up immediately. At that time, I was in the transition to retake my birth name, with everything that it entails. I was looking for a place to be surrounded by like-minded people who have the same approach to life, as I needed to delve deep for a long period of time. And because you work together for a longer period of time, you all reach deeper layers and share a space where everyone is free to take up space or not. It is an individual group process where just being together is enough, and there is no need to talk. A unique experience for me. Wherever and whenever I encounter my fellow Bionauts, there will always be a sense of connection. A shared experience with important insights, deep connection and a feeling of coming home that I could not have found anywhere else.”
Jos
“The Spinoza retreat gave me the opportunity to travel into my subconsciousness, better understand my deeper motivators and needs and triggers to be happy in work as well as private life. Compliments for the great atmosphere, the beautiful music and personal guidance of all 3 guides. I can really recommend this great retreat held in beautiful and save environment.”
Malu de Valcke
“After many years of doing various types of transformational work, from ‘regular’ therapy to single ceremonies here and there and everything in between, the Bionaut Program was the next step in a profound transformation for me. I’m usually not the group-setting kind of person, but I went through the resistance of my anxiety around being in groups and sharing my journey. It was a big gift to allow myself to go through these highs, and certainly equally the painful lows, together with a loving group. To feel like not having to do it all by myself. The deep connection I got with people who were strangers before, just by sharing this process, is beyond. It was beautiful to experience how dedicating myself to the Bionaut Program gave me the confidence to move along with all of my processes, continuously integrate them, and put it into practice in real life. I am forever grateful.”

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.“
