INME Wellness: An In-Depth Review for Sessions near Amsterdam, Netherlands and Barcelona, Spain

INME Wellness markets high-end plant medicine retreats with a longevity and biohacking angle: luxury lodging, chef-prepared food, lab testing, telehealth, and a doctor it says is always on site. It has changed a great deal since our first profile. That profile described ayahuasca, wachuma and peyote ceremonies led by named shamans, with events in Costa Rica and Sweden. In October 2026, INME’s own site advertises psilocybin truffle retreats in the Dutch countryside near Amsterdam, plus one “Inga Tribe Retreat” near Barcelona, and none of the shamans, medicines or locations from our earlier profile except one testimonial. INME also has almost no independent footprint. Both of its Retreat Guru profiles show zero reviews, we found no listings on Tripadvisor, Google, Trustpilot, BookRetreats or AyaAdvisors, and no press or podcast coverage. Everything below is drawn from INME’s own pages, its booking listings, and general legal sources, and we label it that way.

🎯 At a Glance

• Locations: A villa “just outside Amsterdam” in the Dutch countryside for psilocybin retreats, and a venue “near Barcelona” for its Inga retreat, according to inmewellness.com. INME does not publish street addresses; details go to confirmed guests. Our earlier profile also listed events in Costa Rica and Sweden, which we could not find on any current page.
• Approach: A wellness-clinic model. The Amsterdam retreats offer two guided psilocybin truffle ceremonies over four days, with breathwork, somatic work, meditation and integration. The Barcelona retreat is described as “Plant Technology / Inga Tribe Retreat,” and a 2026 brochure cover calls it an “indigenous-led Ayahuasca Retreat,” but INME’s site does not name the medicine on that event’s page. Packages are sold in tiers that add online courses, supplements, lab testing and telehealth.
• Suitable For: People who want a small, comfortable, Western-run psilocybin retreat in Europe and value medical and therapeutic framing. Less suited to anyone looking for an established track record, independent reviews, or a traditional indigenous ayahuasca setting.
• Costs: The 4-Day Empowered Renewal psilocybin retreat is listed at €3,450 for shared or double-occupancy rooms and €4,050 for private rooms or private glamping tents on INME’s booking page. We found no price for the Inga or ayahuasca retreat and no prices for the tiers. Our earlier profile listed $2,500 for five days; we could not find that price anywhere current.
• Overall Assessment: Polished, comfortable and heavy on safety promises, but with zero independent reviews, shifting offerings, conflicting dates and transfer terms, a legal entity with no published registration, and safety claims that are entirely self-reported. Directory evaluation: C+.

💬 What Guests Are Saying

Here is how INME Wellness rates across review platforms in October 2026:

The positive picture. INME’s site carries four short testimonials signed with first names only. One credits a facilitator named Taita Luis with a “profound healing.” Our earlier profile also quoted an AyaAdvisors user praising the “modern facilities” and a Retreat Guru user who found the pre-retreat screening “reassuring” but “demanding.” We could not find either review in October 2026: both Retreat Guru profiles show no reviews, and no AyaAdvisors listing for INME turned up. We keep those quotes here as unverified.

Who is writing the reviews. With no third-party reviews at all, the only guest voices are the company’s own testimonials, which are anonymized and undated. INME offers a referral discount (“bring a friend and save up to 200 EUR”). The YouTube link on its site points to Wix’s default channel rather than an INME channel. Our earlier profile said INME’s reviews were “mostly pre-2020”; we found no dated reviews to support that, and the site’s footer reads ©2023. If you have attended, we encourage you to share your experience through our submission form.

🚩 Incident Report

We searched review platforms, news coverage and legal sources for reports involving INME Wellness and its named team. We found none. With so little public coverage of any kind, that tells you very little either way.

• Deaths and serious injuries: None found.
• Sexual misconduct: No allegations found.
• Theft and crime: No reports found.
• Regulatory or legal action: None found in Dutch, Spanish or English sources.
• Transparency concerns: The company’s privacy policy names “INME Holistic Co.” and cites Russian personal-data law, the footer phone number is Italian, and no registration number or business address is published (see Critical Notes).

Our earlier profile reported a clean record after searches that included Italian media. We could not reproduce every search behind that conclusion, but nothing we found contradicts it. If you have experienced or witnessed an incident at INME Wellness, please report it confidentially.

🔍 Critical Notes

Ayahuasca is illegal in the Netherlands. The Dutch Supreme Court ruled in October 2019 that ayahuasca falls under the country’s hard drugs law and that importing it is illegal, as DutchNews reported. Our earlier profile was titled “Ayahuasca in Spain & Netherlands,” which could suggest ayahuasca ceremonies in the Netherlands; INME’s Dutch events are advertised as psilocybin only. Psilocybin truffles are a different case. DutchNews reports that growing and selling truffles is legal in the Netherlands, while most psilocybin mushrooms were banned in 2008. INME describes its ceremonies as using “legal psilocybin truffles.”

Spain is a gray zone. For the Barcelona retreat, ICEERS explains that DMT is controlled in Spain but the plants used in ayahuasca are not scheduled, and that supply can be prosecuted while most cases that reached a judge ended in acquittal. See our country-by-country legal guide.

Who you are paying is unclear. INME’s privacy policy names the operator as “INME Holistic Co.” and says it processes data under the Russian Federation’s Federal Law No. 152-FZ on personal data, while the footer lists an Italian phone number (+39). The policy contains unedited template text, and no company registration number or address is given. Ask which legal entity takes your payment and in which country before you pay.

The details don’t line up. INME’s booking page lists the 4-Day Empowered Renewal retreat as June 11 to 14, 2026, while its day-by-day schedule says May 7 to 10, and its Retreat Guru event page lists May 7 to 10, 2026. Its site promises help with transport from the nearest international airport, one Retreat Guru profile offers Barcelona El Prat pickup, and the event page says local transfers cost extra. The site labels its Tier 02 and Tier 03 packages one way in the order form and the reverse in the package descriptions. And every event on the site we could find had already passed, with no confirmed upcoming dates.

Health claims sit next to a disclaimer. The site says psilocybin may “extend cellular lifespan” and relieve depression, citing studies, while also stating that INME makes no medical or therapeutic claims. For a balanced view of the research, see our comparison of ayahuasca and psilocybin safety.

🆘 Screening & Mental Health Risks

INME’s screening claims are among the strongest we see, and all of them are self-reported. Its site says applicants take a screening quiz “designed with a medical doctor, psychiatrist, and psychotherapist,” followed by medical and psychological evaluations, that a “Doctor always on-site” is part of every retreat, that at least one facilitator per retreat is “a certified/licensed psychotherapist, psychologist, or medical doctor,” and that staff are available 24/7. Its Retreat Guru listings say “medical oversight on-site.” The only doctor named on the team, co-founder Dr. Carrie Chojnowski, is described as a naturopathic medical doctor; we did not verify her credentials or find a named physician (MD) for the retreats. INME does not publish its contraindication list, its policy on SSRIs and other medications, or an emergency protocol. The minimum age is 21. For psilocybin, interactions and psychiatric history still matter, and for the Inga retreat, ICEERS notes that ayahuasca’s MAOI component is contraindicated with SSRIs and other serotonergic medications and with severe psychiatric disorders, especially those prone to psychosis. Ask INME for the name and license of the on-site doctor, the written exclusion criteria, and the nearest hospital, and never stop a psychiatric medication to qualify without your prescriber’s guidance.

🧪 Brew Substance

INME’s Amsterdam retreats use psilocybin truffles (sclerotia), served in two guided ceremonies per four-day retreat according to its booking page. For the Barcelona “Inga Tribe Retreat,” INME’s site does not name the medicine; the cover of its 2026 brochure calls it an “indigenous-led Ayahuasca Retreat,” and Inga ceremonies in Colombia traditionally center on yagé, the regional name for ayahuasca (see our guide to indigenous ayahuasca traditions). Ayahuasca combines the Banisteriopsis caapi vine with DMT-containing leaves, and as Erowid explains, the vine’s MAO inhibitors make the DMT orally active. Our earlier profile listed ayahuasca, wachuma (San Pedro) and peyote led by shamans Taita Luis and Dario Hampi Pakari; wachuma, peyote and Dario Hampi Pakari do not appear anywhere on INME’s current site, and Taita Luis appears only in one testimonial. Ask INME which medicine is served at each retreat, who prepares it, and who leads the ceremony.

📍 Location, Setting & Style

• Netherlands and Spain: INME describes a “luxury villa” in the Dutch countryside surrounded by forest and green space, with a main house and garden glamping tents. Its Retreat Guru listing checks amenity boxes for a pool, spa, sauna and hot tub, which are self-reported. The Barcelona-area venue is not described in detail. Our earlier profile described a “tranquil mountain retreat,” which no current source supports. Countryside Luxe.
• Style: Clinical and modern. Expect structured programming with breathwork, somatic work and coaching, vegetarian meals free of gluten and refined sugar prepared by a nutrition specialist, and add-ons such as lab panels, supplements and telehealth in higher tiers. Groups are small; the psilocybin retreat is listed as “Up to 7 in group.”

Practical guidance: INME does not cover airfare. The nearest international airports are Amsterdam Schiphol for the Dutch retreats and Barcelona El Prat for Spain. Because INME’s sources conflict on whether transfers are included, confirm pickup and cost in writing before you book flights.

Should You Book?

INME may appeal if you want a comfortable, small-group psilocybin retreat in a country where truffles are legal, with a strong wellness and longevity focus. The problem is verification. There are no independent reviews, the medicines and facilitators have changed since our first profile, dates and transfer terms conflict across INME’s own pages, the legal entity is opaque, and the safety promises that justify the price have not been confirmed by anyone outside the company. If you are considering INME, get the operating entity, the doctor’s name and license, the exclusion criteria, the exact dates and the full price in writing first, and read our guide to verifying retreat facilitators.

The Team & Story

INME’s site lists founder Anastasiya Kulygin, a “Licensed Coach”; co-founder Dr. Carrie Chojnowski, a naturopathic medical doctor who leads the telehealth tier; COO and facilitator Thor Kristjansson; co-founder and CFO Daniel Koppelkamm; Leo Cordero, a “Medicine man with over 20 years of experience” with an Ayurveda background; psychotherapist Barbe Polet; and operations manager Anastasia Toska. We did not verify any of these credentials. INME says it collaborates with “indigenous leaders from Amazonia’s ancient tribes,” and its Spain retreat is billed as Inga-led. The site’s footer dates to 2023, and we could not establish a founding year.

Prep & Integration Tips

Before you go: Complete INME’s screening and ask for the results of your medical review in writing. Disclose every medication and supplement, and talk with your own doctor well before travel. Confirm the dates, venue address and transfer arrangements, since INME’s own pages disagree. After you return: Depending on the tier, INME offers group integration sessions, one-on-one support and WhatsApp access to its coaches for one week to six months. Arrange support from a licensed therapist at home as well, especially if you have a mental health history. Our guide to researching retreat incidents can help you check any center before committing.

Pros & Cons
