Ouroboros Autumn Gathering: Psychedelic Care, Nature Connection & Community Celebration - Ouroboros 1 year Birthday Party
6–9 November 2025 | Buckland House, North Devon

EARLY CHECK IN 7PM WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 5.

PSYCARE UK TRAINING BEGINS 10AM THURSDAY 6 NOVEMBER.

OUROBORS' 1 YEAR BRITHDAY PARTY 8PM TO 1AM SATURDAY 8 NOVEMBER.

This November, The Ouroboros Foundation and PsyCare UK are hosting a four-day retreat at Buckland House, a historic estate surrounded by 280 acres of woodland and open countryside in North Devon. The event brings together practical training, nature immersion, and community celebration—all in one immersive experience.

At the core of the weekend is PsyCare UK’s Experiential Training, designed for people who support others in altered or psychedelic states. It’s hands-on, trauma-informed, and based on real scenarios. You’ll learn how to de-escalate crisis situations, hold space safely, and understand the basics of psychedelic care. Everyone who completes the training receives a certificate recognized across clinical, ceremonial, and festival settings.

Outside the training, the gathering offers breathwork, fungi cultivation, guided nature walks, and sauna and cold plunge rituals. It’s a chance to reconnect with your body, the land, and others in a supportive environment. Buckland House features a ballroom for group sessions, cozy lounges for downtime, and trails where wild deer roam freely.

Saturday night is the highlight: a dance party celebrating one year of The Ouroboros Foundation. We’re featuring a lineup of talented DJ artists who bring serious energy and depth to the floor. Expect immersive sound, deep bass, and a vibe that’s all about movement, connection, and release. It’s not just a party—it’s a chance to celebrate what we’ve built and who we’re building it with.

Vegan catered meals and basic drinks are included with accomodation.

Nazcal Sprits neurotropic beverages will be available for an extra charge-all proceeds from these sales to benefit the efforts of Psycare UK and The Ouroboros Foundation.

All proceeds from the retreat also go toward supporting PsyCare UK and The Ouroboros Project CIC, helping expand psychedelic care and nature-based healing across the UK. Spaces are limited, and we’d love to have you with us.
