CEREMONIES & RETREATS
Sacred Plant Ceremonies
31 January, 8 & 13 February, 27 March
Together we create the world in which we live. Together we weave the web.
During the sacred plant ceremony we connect in vulnerability and openness.
Your Innerworld Creates your Outerworld. What do you wish your world to look like?
This day is organized in a safe space with lots of light, love, an altar and a warm atmosphere. You can get information in different ways: through visuals, insights, feeling and that is different for everyone. You can become more open, your senses become razor-sharp, your heart can open to new depths, the connection with nature and the elements are strengthened and deepened, providing intense experiences.
We open the ceremony by opening the field, expressing our intentions, what would you like to explore in yourself, or heal, letting go… Through a guided meditation we guide you in the journey and then rely on the wisdom of the plant medicine.

Hopi Teachings 2025
Start March 2025
In 2025 the Hopi teachings will be starting in March.
This Mystery School teaching will be offered in private & small group sessions.
Available teachings are the ‘The Hopi Initiations Dreamers Circle’, the ‘Compass of the Heart’ and ‘Vibratory Centers’.
The main group teaching in 2025 will be the Hopi Initatiations Dreamers Circle. Where you will see with your inner knowing and inner perception in ‘spirit world’, in the dream world. When you are ready to share your ‘original medicine’ with the world.
After going through the initiations you could call yourself a so-called ‘Dreamer’ in the Hopi tradition. You know the difference between ordinary reality and the non-ordinary reality / invisible world of spirit.The third teaching will be the Hopi Initatiations Dreamers Circle. When you see with your inner knowing and inner perception in ‘spirit world’ in the dream world.
In the Compass of the Heart teaching, with the help of the drum we flow with the wind directions, seasons and spirit animals through the year and learn how to open the Sacred Field.
Each wind direction comes with its own characteristics, elements, colours, energies, spirit animals, prayers and your intentions.
This sacred Hopi teaching is passed on by me with the permission of Grandmother Medicine Song and Elder Satya Henkes, Wisdom Singer.
Available for private teaching are the Vibratory Centers. They are vibrating energy centers of the human being. They are connected to the different worlds known to the Hopi.
The teachings are about activating these energy centers through: memory (dreaming) and the relationship with a number of resources from the animal, color, stone and plant world. The energy centers represent someone’s unique personal strength and authenticity. Also called original medicine.
Living in balance based on personal strength is a beautiful invitation, because we have
been learned/told to restrain our power. Using this personal strength (power) in a right relationship is how your gift can be shared with the world.
During the intake session on Janaury 28 at 12.30 I will explain in more detail what dream teachings are and how you can remember instead of looking for wisdom outside yourself.


Met Compass of the Heart stromen we met behulp van de drum met de windrichtingen, seizoenen en spirit animals door het jaar en leren zo hoe het Sacred Field te openen.
Je bent welkom je eigen drum mee te nemen in de teaching. Het is geen voorwaarde om een drum te hebben. Elke windrichting komt met haar eigen karakteristieken, elementen, kleuren, energieën, dieren en prayers en jouw intenties.
Deze sacred Hopi teaching wordt met toestemming van Grandmother Medicine Song en Elder Satya Henkes, Wisdom Singer door mij doorgegeven.
De Vibratory Centers teaching
De vibratory centers zijn vibrerende energiecentra van de mens. Ze zijn verbonden aan de
verschillende werelden die de Hopi kennen.
De teachings gaan over het activeren van deze energiecentra d.m.v. herinnering (dreaming) en de relatie met een aantal hulpbronnen uit de dieren, kleur, steen en plantwereld.
De energiecentra staan voor iemand zijn/haar unieke persoonlijke kracht en authenticiteit. Ook wel original medicine genoemd. Het leven in balans vanuit persoonlijke kracht is een mooie uitnodiging, want we hebben geleerd onze kracht in te dammen. Deze persoonlijke kracht (macht) inzetten in right relationship is hoe jouw gift gedeeld kan worden met de wereld.

Yoga Pilgrimage Mystical India
28 februari - 11 maart 2025
With Afke Reijenga, Arjuna van der Kooij and Nienke Schipper-Pauw
Many participants have experienced the intense beauty of this 10-day pilgrimage.
If you are curious about the mystical rituals and wonders of India, interested in the deep wisdom behind yoga, open to spiritual growth and willing to look at the world from a different perspective, this is absolutely your journey. Also when you are “not a group traveler”.
We will visit four of the main pilgrimage places in North India: Rishikesh, Haridwar, Varanasi and Vrindavan. Each one of them has a specific value and we tune into a different path of yoga in each area. We will investigate the relevance of Hatha Yoga (physical exercise), Jnana Yoga (holy scriptures), Karma Yoga (selfless service) and Bhakti Yoga (devotion to Love/God)
We have daily yoga & philosophy sessions, practice meditation on the banks of the sacred Ganges, meet with sadhu’s, visit ancient temples, meditate in sacred Himalayan caves and dive deep into the wonders of Yogic India—most of them off the beaten tourist track.
Traveling with us will make you feel safe, comfortable and provided with anything you need. Transport, accomodation and meals being arranged saves a lot of hassle so you can focus on the experience. The traveling schedule is intense but there will be enough time for peaceful reflection and to let our experiences sink in. We sleep in beautiful places with an authentic Indian atmosphere.
