Sacred Mother Plant ceremony

A private ceremony is different from a retreat.
Slower. More direct. More personal.

There is no group dynamic to take into account.
No pace set by others.

We can fully attune to what you need.
To your intention, your pace, your process.

Some people choose this because it’s their first time working with sacred plants.
Others feel the call to go deeper, or to explore a specific theme.

For some, a group setting simply doesn’t feel right.
Perhaps because it feels vulnerable to express yourself in the presence of others,
or because certain past experiences make a smaller, safer setting feel more supportive.

And sometimes, it’s simply the desire to keep this process entirely for yourself.
In stillness, without external distractions.

This setting may be a good fit for you if:

• you feel a need for privacy and personal attention
• you prefer not to work in a group setting
• you want to explore a specific intention or question
• you feel more at ease in a smaller, familiar environment
• you wish to share this experience with someone close to you

We work in this setting with a maximum of two participants, who already know each other.

During this weekend we work with a plant medicine that has been used for centuries in the traditions of the Amazon. In many cultures she is lovingly referred to as the Sacred Mother Plant, better known as Ayahuasca.

These sacred plants are known for their ability to bring to the surface layers that often remain hidden in everyday life. She invites you to turn inward, to listen to what wishes to be seen, and to reconnect with your heart and inner wisdom.

Sometimes she brings clear insights. Sometimes she reveals old patterns that are ready to be released. And sometimes it is simply an encounter with yourself. Exactly as you are in that moment.

We do not see the medicine as something that does the work for you, but as a guide that opens a door. You remain the one who walks the path.

The ceremony takes place in our home, in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel.

We create a warm, calm, and safe space where you can fully settle and drop in.
With attention to atmosphere, music, and detail.

Comfortable bedding is provided so you can lie down with ease.
We work with carefully selected music and, where appropriate, subtle use of scent (such as essential oils or natural resins) to support the process.

After the ceremony, you will stay overnight in the space.
This allows for a gentle landing and supports a safe and grounded integration of the experience.

We don’t follow a fixed structure.
The evening unfolds in response to what arises, and to what you need.

You arrive calmly and are given the space to settle into the environment.
From there, we set an intention together and open the ceremony in a way that feels aligned.

The ceremony itself is fully attuned.
Sometimes it calls for guidance, sometimes for space.
Sometimes for words, sometimes for silence.

We follow the process as it unfolds. Without directing it, yet gently holding it.

Afterwards, we take time to softly close the evening and allow for a grounded landing.
A warm, nourishing meal will be prepared for you, after which you can rest and sleep in the space.

The next morning begins gently with breakfast.
There is space to share and reflect on what has been experienced.

From there, we close the process together, and you return home with time and space to let it further integrate.

We don’t believe in directing a process.
We believe in holding it.

We listen, feel, and move with what arises.
Sometimes that means being close.
Sometimes it means giving space.

Without judgment, without expectation... but with full presence.

We always begin with an online intake.
This allows us to gather the most important information and form an initial understanding of your situation.

After that, we schedule a moment to connect briefly by phone or Zoom.
This is a low-threshold introduction where we explore together whether this setting is a good fit, and where there is space to discuss any questions or specific considerations.

We take contraindications seriously and only move forward when it feels right and aligned for both sides.

What is touched during a ceremony often continues to unfold long after.

That is why we consciously create space for integration the following morning, during the sharing.

The journey does not end when the ceremony is over. For many, the real work begins afterwards, as insights start to find their place in everyday life.

That is why we remain available after the ceremony as well, for questions, a conversation, or support whenever needed.
You don’t have to walk this path alone.
