CEREMONIES & RETREATS
Sacred Plant Ceremonies
10 February and 10 &24 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 reflects your Outerworld. What do you want 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.

Compass of the Heart
January 15, April 16, July 16, October 15
North East South West
In 2023 the Hopi teaching ‘Compass of the Heart’ will be shared.
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.
This year we will meet 4 times physically or virtually for the Compass of the Heart.
You are welcome to bring your own drum into the teaching. It is not a prerequisite to have a drum. 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.
These teachings are offered for €400 of which part will flow back to the Hopi Community in the US. The group will consists of maximum 10 participants.
Yoga Pilgrimage Mystical India
2 - 12 November 2023
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.
