Truly Loving

I attended a two day Psilohuasca retreat. I'd been struggling with a lot of problems in my physical and mental health, and it made sense to me - after years of talk therapy - that I could not logic my way out of my problems.

My first ceremony of the retreat dredged up a lot of old problems and I found myself frustrated to be going over old ground again. We discussed our first day's journey the following morning and I expressed doubt over whether I should set an intention again to find peace in my mind and body (as had been my intention on the first day), or whether I should focus on letting the past go.

Renate then gave me the best advice I had ever been given - that I cannot let go of the past, and that if the past and its problems were where the medicine was taking me, I should face up to it and let the medicine take me on the journey I needed to go on, even if it wasn't the journey I wanted. And to breathe through the discomfort and go with it.

Very dubious, I followed Renate's advice, and after much initial discomfort and having to sit with and explore some very painful emotions, my journey took me so much deeper than I could have hoped, to a place where - perhaps for the first time in my life - I feel fully embodied and comfortable in my own skin.

In addition to the great guidance, Renate and David (Martijn was away) took great practical care of us, feeding us, looking after us, taking us on walks in the countryside and were great and considerate hosts.

It has been an amazing weekend under the care of Renate and David - and of course the two "spirit guide" cats.
There was a ton of support and great knowledge to guide everyone through their ceremonies.
The location was lovely as well in the peaceful countryside.
The small groups make it very personal and give everyone the opportunity for a lot of sharing and personal interaction.
Renate has been super insightful and with great intuition for what was going on inside me so with all the exchange and advice I have made some great progress.
I can only recommend this.

I have gained some previous solo-tripping experiences which were going along downward spiral. This retreat was complete opposite, went upwards, despite there were some challenging moments. It opened me up and made me optimistic! The place has good vibes and I felt comfortable and safe thanks to Renate, Felix and and other trip-sitting cat whose name I forgot :-) Thank you, guys!

I’ve been curious but hesitant to try this kind of retreat for a long time. I had such a great experience from booking, to the journey itself and afterwards also. The team at Truly Loving are professional and will ensure you get the most out of your personal trip. Big thanks to Martijn and Felix (Cat) that was by my side making me feel super comfortable. I’m not even a cat person, but Felix presence was a great addition to the experience, haha.

I have just had my first psychedelic experience with Martijn, Renate and Felix (the cat) as guides.
I received a lot of healing from the plant medicine and it came in the most beautiful way. Words cannot describe what I've seen and experienced.
Martijn and Renate are experienced guides, very knowledgeable and caring. They took very good care of me and my retreat buddy. I felt safe with them which was the most important thing for me.
