Experience transformation
Many methods start with thinking. Psychedelic experiences work where change arises: in what you experience.
Research on psychedelic substances continues to develop. Experiences and effects can vary from person to person.
You don't just think about your patterns, you experience them directly. This makes change tangible and allows it to have a lasting effect on your everyday life.
Do you sense that something in your life no longer feels quite right? Or that more is possible than what you have experienced so far?
You want to live more freely and boldly and approach your everyday life with more ease.
You function in everyday life, but inside you often feel cut off and no longer truly connected to yourself.
Whether at work, in your private life or within yourself: you feel you are not really moving forward, even though you know that something ought to change.
At the same time, you sense that there is more. You want to understand yourself better, let go of old patterns and live more consciously.
In your family, at work, in your relationship or in another context: do you feel caught in a dilemma? In a situation you can no longer get out of?
Have you looked in the mirror lately and no longer recognized yourself? When will you finally feel like yourself again?
3 days that open up new perspectives for you …
Your retreat follows a clear, structured process: from preparation through the experience to integration into your everyday life.
In the preparatory conversation, we discuss relevant health information, possible risks, reasons for exclusion and the process.
Day 1 Check-in from 10:00 a.m.
With conversations for personal reflection, deep meditations and a first breathwork session, you recognize what is really blocking you and prepare yourself specifically for your experience. The conversations for personal reflection take place in small groups of no more than four people.
Day 2
You go deeper, beyond the mind, and experience new perspectives, clarity and emotional breakthroughs. The day begins with movement and Sensual Dance. After that, you set out on your inner journey.
Day 3
You process what you have experienced and gain clarity about how to integrate your insights into your everyday life for the long term, so that real change happens and lasts. In a sharing circle, you share your impressions with the group.
If you sense that something in your life is ready to change, this is the moment to take the next step.
Every journey is individual. Every journey brings you closer to your true self.
If you sense that your life no longer feels like your own, and you are ready to finally live in connection, clarity and ease again, then Reality Upgrade is your chance to give yourself and your path a new direction. Are you ready?
Your Reality Upgrade Journey
The retreat is not the end of your change, but the beginning of a new process. We keep supporting you afterwards, so that you integrate your insights into your life for the long term. On request, Reality Upgrade offers you voluntary follow-up conversations to help you personally make sense of what you have experienced.
You remain part of an active community of like-minded people. In our group, you can share experiences, reflect and stay connected.
In regular calls, you have the opportunity to deepen your experiences, clarify questions and continue to receive support.
As part of the community, you get access to special offers that are not publicly available. These include discounted or free places at selected events as well as exclusive content and formats.
Our participants have had these incredible experiences and transformations:
How are you feeling after the Reality Upgrade retreat?
For me it felt complete from beginning to end. I felt fully held by the team, and in the end I was able to hold myself, too.
What did the Reality Upgrade retreat give you?
I was already a relaxed guy before, but now I’m so grounded and calm. Something I had been carrying around with me for months resolved itself here.
How are you feeling after the Reality Upgrade retreat?
It feels so good to simply be for once and not play at being something else. Be brave, come here and come back to yourselves.
How was the Reality Upgrade retreat for you?
For me it was definitely liberating. I was able to let go of a lot. Beautifully set in nature, and I really liked the team.
Why did you come to the Reality Upgrade retreat?
What I liked most of all was the warmth with which you are welcomed here. You can let yourself go completely.
What was special about the retreat for you?
On the first day I didn’t know anyone. Today there are 20 people here and I think: I’ve known them my whole life. I’m most grateful that you can build so much trust here in such a short time.
These voices reflect the personal experiences of individual participants. They are not a promise of any effect and not a typical result.

Dr. Stefan Frädrich is a physician, bestselling author and founder of Greator (formerly GEDANKENtanken) and Reality Upgrade. For many years he has been accompanying people in their personal development. Together with Sonja Bödecker he runs Reality Upgrade B.V., which creates space for new perspectives and intense personal experiences through retreats and coachings.
Our team of 27 coaches and companions is empathetic and committed and brings experience from many different fields: for example as psychologists, doctors, entrepreneurs or spiritual teachers.
Participants report a range of personal impressions, such as new perspectives and a sense of connectedness.
Do you have questions about the retreats at Reality Upgrade? Here you will find some first answers:
Psychedelic experiences can be intense and should not take place unprepared or without guidance.
Careful preparation, a protected environment and professional guidance are decisive for safety.
Every participation is preceded by a screening, and on site you are accompanied by experienced guides and coaches, as well as doctors on the team.
After booking, we check in the screening whether taking part is right for you. For this, you receive a questionnaire by email. Your answers help us to accompany you safely and personally. They are, of course, treated confidentially.
A successfully completed screening is a prerequisite.
Questions about your health belong in this questionnaire, not in the consultation and not in the contact form.
A retreat is particularly suitable for people who are ready to engage honestly with themselves and to allow inner processes to happen.
Whether a retreat suits your current situation is something we check in the screening after booking.
In a personal conversation, we clarify all open questions and find out whether this step is right for you at this time.
Accommodation in the booked category, full board, the complete retreat program with professional guidance by the Reality Upgrade team, and integration coaching. Not included: travel to and from the retreat (arranged individually and at your own expense) and overnight stays before or after the retreat.
You can withdraw at any time before the start. Cancellation fees then apply, graded by timing: the closer to the retreat, the higher they are. You will find the exact scale in your booking documents. We recommend that you take out travel cancellation insurance.
If you are unsure whether a retreat makes sense for you, we will work it out together in a personal conversation.
