Experience a deeper connection with yourself in a safe and nurturing environment through the use of psychedelic plants during a three-day journey of self-exploration.

In this process we create space to examine the patterns that hold us back in everyday life. You are encouraged to move toward the resistance, to feel and recognize what no longer serves you and stands in your way.

This journey brings answers to life’s questions, new insights, personal and spiritual development, and emotional & physical healing.

This form of inner work takes place in small groups at beautiful locations in Drenthe, Brabant and De Achterhoek, where you’ll be supported by trained and experienced guides.

 

An important part of this program with psychedelic process work is the use of various exercises, integration sessions, therapeutic forms and holistic approach.

'Master Plants provide space to slow down & feel beyond language'

When applied in the proper context, entheogenic plants can serve as a therapeutic method for trauma healing and can change a person’s life in a remarkably positive way.

Plant spirits will bring you to your deepest pain and confrontations, and you’ll receive deep lessons about love and compassion. Forgiveness and (self) love will reach to the deepest of your core. 

A plant spirit connection is about awareness and acceptance of who you are. When you open yourself with curiosity, change occurs and creativity will be stimulated.

Blockages are cleared and the source of deep rooted conditioning come to light. This cultivates among others; peace, acceptance, and creativity for growth.

Why attending a plant spirit ceremony?

The 3- day program with the master plant spirit 
3 days and 2 ceremonies

Day 1, you are welcome from 4 / 5 pm. Relax, acclimate or take a short walk in the surrounded nature.
When everybody has arrived we’ll meet and share intentions.

The process guide, will explain how the days will run and afterwards there’s room for questions.

The psychedelic plant process journey will be ceremonially opened early in the evening with a meditation or body exercise.
Once you have taken the plant medicine the inner work can take place. In this state the subconscious comes back into our consciousness. This gives you the opportunity to experience what needs to be seen, remembered or needs to be processed on an emotional or physical level.

During this process we guide you with singing, playing music, guitar, some peaceful  silence or with personal attention. We adapt to the process and the groups energy.

Through the whole process we are there for you with attention, respect and compassion so you can safely go inside to feel, experience, relive or enjoy the essence and deepest state of being.

After the ritual, we eat a healthy meal and then it’s time for bed.

The next day, after breakfast, the integration session takes place. insights are shared, and guidance is provided through questions to help gain further clarification and answers.

After the integration and light lunch there is some private time. Take a nap or take a nice walk.

Before the second plant ceremony begins, an exercise will take place. This can range from visualizations, timeline walking, soul retrieval, rebirthing practice, regression work or Zen work. This is often a valuable addition to clarify your process.

In the evening we’ll start the second plant master ceremony which will end around midnight. After this we eat a meal and you go to sleep.

The next day, after breakfast, the integration session takes place where you share what you have learned and the insights you have gained.

During this session puzzle pieces will fall into place and confusing themes or insights will be reflected by the process guidance.
At the end of the afternoon we say goodbye.

The following day you will receive aftercare information and a week later there will be a 1 on 1 aftercare integration session.

Please find below more information; Frequently Asked Questions.

‘ A plant process journey can be intense. It's not for everyone ’

Not everyone can participate a plant spirit ceremony.
In addition to screening for physical / medical contraindications, one must be spiritually and mentally stable. It’s a personal process where repressed themes are exposed, which can be experienced as intense.
This requires responsibility of the participant.

It is important to realize that ultimately you have to do it by yourself. This insight will be amplified in the master plant ceremonies. These days give you a chance to experience the totality of the circle of life and the opportunity to heal emotionally and physically. However, integrating requires awareness and practice. It is not a “quick fix,” the work begins after the ceremony in day to day life.

If you are interested, an introductory telephone conversation will follow. 

I would like to know you, what experiences you have had in life, what your needs are etc.
After the telephone conversation you’ ll fill out the questionnaire and intention/health statement. This should be returned completed and signed within two weeks. Without a completed and signed questionnaire and declaration you unfortunately can not participate.

 

In preparation you will receive a pre-ceremony information booklet which will support you with mental, physical and emotional preparation. You will also receive healthy recipes to make the diet easy to follow.

Being prepared helps you be more open in the plant teacher ceremony / process journey. Please read the preparation page carefully.

Frequently asked questions

  • Hoe kan ik mij mentaal voorbereiden (EN)

    What’s important

    Have some self-inquiry: What is my intention, what do I long for, what is my actual problem? What am I curious about?

    Am I in a physically and mentally healthy state to drink Ayahuasca? (Read contraindications)

    With whom do you want to undergo a Ayahuasca ceremony? Nothing is as vulnerable as a Ayahuasca ceremony. This requires a field (set and setting) where you feel comfortable, which starts with the process facilitator/ therapist / guide.

    Once you have decided to drink and know where/with whom, you will start preparing yourself.
    Mentally: by taking it easy 2 weeks beforehand. Give yourself more space and try to avoid a busy schedule.

    Physically: by eating a plant-based diet and avoiding certain medications, meat, diary, sugar, spiced food, alcohol and coffee for 2 weeks before the ceremony. (Read more here).

    A proper organization or process worker will provide you with the right preparations.

  • What diet should I follow?

    Two weeks before the ceremony you should cleanse your body by eating plant based, drink more water and have more focus on yourself and your intention.

    Read this page about mental and physical preparation.

    Additionally, after signing up, you’ll receive a comprehensive preparation package for both physical, bodily and emotional preparation.

  • Are there contraindications?

    Yes. On this page you can find comprehensive information on both physical and mental contraindications, as well as various medications that conflict with entheogenic plants.

  • What's the length of a ceremony?

    Between 6-7 hours. It is normal to lose your sense of time and space. Often, you won’t be aware of time.

    The ceremony takes place in a warm, safe and sacred space. After the plant session, we will have a light meal, and you may want to take a shower before going to sleep.

    The group integration session takes place in the morning after breakfast.

  • What can happen?

    The plants, also known as entheogenic plants, reach deeper unconscious layers of the emotional and physical body. Through the use of this therapeutic/neo-shamanistic process journey, the unresolved themes can be processed on an emotionally and physically level. The effect is the dissolution of blockages, deep rooted conditioning and false beliefs.

    In this context, processing means giving emotional space to what comes up during ceremony. Themes encapsulated in the pain body and stored within our physical bodies are brought back into our conscious mind. Think about impactful or traumatic events you have experienced.

    By processing what comes to the surface, you reconnect with your higher consciousness and the soul. From this state, you feel complete, with the awareness that you have a choice to view the world and yourself differently. You become more conscious, and from this state of being, you experience freedom,  self love, acceptance and forgiveness.

    During your process journey, as well as in the sharing sessions afterward, a range of emotions may surface; sadness, anger, fear, but also love, respect, and deep gratitude.
    Give space to these emotions and allow them. That’s the purpose of a safe holy ceremony.
    Learn to be honest with yourself again.

  • Is there help if needed?

    A safe and warm setting is created with support from experienced and specialized process guides. However, we encourage you to stay as much as possible in your own process.

    A hands-off approach is often used, allowing you to feel and experience all your emotions and to grow the trust in your own capabilities. This method teaches you that inner work is entirely up to you. You are the one making decisions and choices. This gives the participants more self-confidence.

    The process guides will recognize when support is appropriate and necessary to ensure your safety.

    In addition, we sometimes support through bodywork or therapeutic holistic techniques. The support and safety we give during ceremonie is also by simply sitting beside you in silence or sing (guitar) songs.

  • Can you experience physical pain in ceremony?

    Yes, that’s possible.
    The body literally stores and locks traumas, unresolved grief and old pain, these are brought back into our consciousness during a plant spirit ceremony.

    If you experience physical pain, try to ‘feel’ into your body during the ceremony. For example, if you feel pain in your belly, focus your attention and allow it. Listen to the womb, the stomach, the heart, all the chakras. They hold many answers and wisdom.

    By giving them your attention, you will notice that the pain lessens, provides an answer or insight, and thus dissolves or leads you to another theme that needs to be acknowledged.

    Even though you realize you’re in an experience, the pain can feel very real.

  • What happens during a teacher plant ceremony?

    First, it is important to let go of any expectations.
    The plant ceremonies take place in the evening in a calm setting.

    Before the ceremony, there is a group sharing session where important and practical information will be provided to guide you through your experience. There is time to make you feel yourself more at home.

    The ceremony will last for 6/7 hours.
    During the ceremony, there will be prayers, live music, guitar playing, singing, and other beautiful music to deepen your journey. There will also be several moments of silence.

    Throughout the process, different therapeutic methods will be used to help you connect more deeply with yourself and the experience.

    After the ceremony, there will be time to eat and rest. The next morning, there is another sharing session.

  • Am I allowed to talk with other participants?

    It’s a personal and inner process. That’s why it’s important to stay focused on yourself during the plant spirit connection. Talking can distract from feeling, while silence provides answers.

    However, you are welcome to communicate with other participants before and after the plant spirit connection. This can be very powerful, fun and strengthen the connection. It’s a very harmonious setting.

  • Is every plant experience different?

    Yes, every psychedelic ceremony is truly different. Surrender and know that each experience is new. Trust that the plants will provide what is important for you.

    Try to accept the process as it comes. The mystical aspect can sometimes be hard to explain, so don’t try to. Observe and feel your body and the emotions.

    Some deeper themes (traumatic events) that need more time can be revisited from a different perspective or angle. It’s like peeling away layers of an onion and slowly getting closer to the core wound (trauma).

    Realize that you are peeling yourself like an onion. The deepest wound lies at the core, surrounded by many layers. With these psychedelic plant processes, you essentially start with the outer layer and, at your own pace, work towards the core, through the layers.

  • How can I interpret visions and insights?

    The plant spirits can offer deep reflections of your inner world, revealing much about how you experience the outer world.
    The ways in which plants illuminate the unconscious are incredibly diverse. This can manifest symbolically, through visuals, (animal) spirits, ancestors, light guides, descended masters, archetypes, angels, or through the body via feeling, tasting, hearing, or seeing.

    Stay open and try not to control what you experience. Go through the experiences, the answer comes naturally or in the days after.

    Sometimes your journey is clear, but it can also be vague or overwhelming. Therefore the morning integration sessions are held. These are an important part of the process days.
    By sharing your experience along with our reflections, the journey you’ve undergone becomes clearer.

  • How can I integrate new insights?

    The real lessons take place at home, in our daily lives. This is where we need to apply what we’ve learned, which requires time. Know that even in the weeks following the process journeys, new insights will emerge, and pieces will fall into place.
    We will stay in touch the weeks after ceremonie, including an aftercare call.

    Integrating means applying insights and answers into your lifestyle. This can range from making concrete changes in a situation to changing your own behavioral patterns.

    Changing deeply rooted beliefs and behaviors requires the most effort. It need your awareness. When you recognize and acknowledge your behavior, change can occur through doing things differently.

    Learning and do things different are the constants of life. You will start to see the benefits as soon as you notice the change yourself. That gives us trust and more joy to create en reshape our lives and ourselves.

    Remember; the transformation must first happen within each of us.
