I joined an Ayahuasca Ceremony here with Shurandy and Maria and Robert and I couldnt imagine a better journey. From start I felt safe, even though that was my first time with the plant and I was very nervous. In those 3 days, I felt like a part of a family, I honestly already miss those dinners where we all sat after the ceremonies sharing, laughing,crying. My heart is full. Thank you so much for everything

Ich war nun bereits zum zweiten Mal bei diesem Retreat und würde jederzeit wiederkommen. Schon meine erste Erfahrung war unglaublich bereichernd – und auch diesmal haben René und Maria es geschafft, einen Raum zu schaffen, in dem ich mich vom ersten bis zum letzten Moment bestens aufgehoben gefühlt habe. Man merkt den beiden einfach an, dass sie ihre Arbeit mit unglaublich viel Herz, Überzeugung und Erfahrung machen. Sie gehen sehr individuell auf jeden Einzelnen ein, sind jederzeit für Fragen und persönliche Gespräche da und vermitteln dabei eine wunderbare Mischung aus Herzlichkeit, Offenheit und Sicherheit. Auch als sich bei mir unerwartet eine medizinische Fragestellung ergeben hat, wurde sofort verantwortungsvoll reagiert und gemeinsam eine für mich passende Lösung gefunden. Das gesamte Retreat ist liebevoll gestaltet. Besonders Breathwork und Sound Healing waren für mich wunderschöne Erfahrungen. Auch das Essen war großartig – frisch, unglaublich lecker und mit viel Liebe zubereitet, individuelle Wünsche inklusive. Unterkunft, Organisation und Abholung haben ebenfalls wunderbar funktioniert. Ich nehme aus diesen Tagen neue Einsichten und auch eine neue Ausrichtung für Teile meines Alltags und Lebens mit. Eine absolute Empfehlung – sowohl für Menschen, die zum ersten Mal eine psychedelische Erfahrung machen möchten, als auch für Erfahrene, die nicht einfach nur einen Trip suchen, sondern sich wirklich auf sich selbst und den eigenen Prozess einlassen möchten. ❤️

A very illuminating experience with the Dutch brew! The coach team were extremely helpful and supportive (here special personal thanks to Magda!). A familial relaxed atmosphere, surrounded by nature. Great music - both thanks to the artist Francesca and our DJ Johannes. Recommended!
