# Evolute Institute

> Legal psilocybin-truffle retreats in the Netherlands (EvoSHIFT) and guided darkness retreats in Germany's Black Forest (EvoDARK) for ambitious individuals and executives seeking personal and professional development. Programs emphasize rigorous screening, small curated cohorts, 1:2 facilitator attention, and a structured journey across preparation, immersion, and integration.

Important notes:
- Evolute Institute's programs are educational/developmental, not medical or therapeutic advice or treatment.
- For EvoSHIFT in NL, participants purchase legal psilocybin-containing truffles themselves from licensed Dutch vendors; Evolute does not sell or provide truffles.
- Safety is prioritized through medical-psychological screening and professional facilitation; admission is contingent on fit and safety.
