WHO WE ARE

Clear Field was built by three people who went looking for something that didn't quite exist yet. We wanted a space that took psychedelics as seriously as we do, and when we couldn't find it, we started building it. We are Natalie, Vanessa, and Lea: a scientist, an entrepreneur, and a doctor. We have known each other long enough to have real conversations, and this is one of them.

Vanessa Stock

Co-founder of Pitch. Background in people and tech. Deep roots in the Berlin startup and investor world.

Brand, design, community

I have always been fascinated by what makes people thrive. Twelve years in Berlin's startup world, and the answer is always the same: the environment shapes everything. I have been organising retreats for years, watching what happens when you remove the noise. Clear Field is that belief taken as far as it can go.

Dr. Natalie Tillack

Science PhD. Ex-McKinsey. Mental health first aider. Breathwork facilitator.

Breathwork, science communication, experience design

I love going deep, learning, and hosting, and Clear Field is all three at once. My first psychedelic experiences came quite late, and I was afraid of all the usual things. What I found when I finally went in changed something. I have spent years facilitating breathwork, watching what happens when the setting is right. That observation is what Clear Field is built on.

Lea Fikszler

Medical practitioner working in clinical care. Trained in cacao ceremonies and holistic health approaches.

Medical safety, screening, program design

As a medical practitioner, I know how much context shapes outcomes. Safety is the quality of attention you bring, the preparation you invest in, and the care that follows. That is what I am building Clear Field around.

WHAT WE ARE BUILDING

We start with one retreat: eight women and those identifying as such, three facilitators, four days in the Dutch countryside. That is the core of what we do. The vision is broader than one retreat. Clear Field is for people who are ready to go beyond what they know about themselves, what they have felt, what they thought was possible. We create a space where you can take a real step, supported properly, and see what opens up, whether that is a first experience with genuine care around it, a return after something recreational that left you wanting more, or eventually deeper work for individuals, artists, and leaders who are ready to go further. Longer term, we are building toward a full ecosystem: tools that help you work with what came up, educational content grounded in the research, and a community of people who understand that the experience itself is only the beginning. This is our first retreat. From here, we want to keep improving, keep learning from the people who trust us with something this significant, and build something that actually earns that trust over time.

WHY THE NETHERLANDS

Psilocybin truffles are fully legal in the Netherlands, and that is the starting point. Working legally means we can be honest about dosing, source our truffles from a trusted supplier with consistent potency, and operate without the legal ambiguity that puts pressure on every other decision. That transparency is foundational to the safety we offer. The Netherlands also has a growing community of experienced facilitators and a culture of serious, research-adjacent psychedelic work. We have access to the people, the knowledge, and the networks that make getting this right possible. Practically: the Netherlands is easy to reach from anywhere in Europe, the landscape is quietly beautiful, and the venue we have chosen sits far enough from everyday life to feel like somewhere else.
