3 day Ayahuasca Plant Medicine retreat

Hi I'm Ronald and nice to meet you here 😊 After decades of working on my own, sometimes difficult, personal process using various tools, therapeutic techniques, disciplines (oa Mindfulness, Raja and Kundalini Yoga), and various entheogens and Plant Medicines, in 2017 I felt called to share with others the knowledge I had gained so far and my (life) experiences. After completing a training as a Process therapist and Ayahuesquero in 2016, I started in 2017 organising and leading workshops with Sacred Plant Medicines. In addition, I completed the “Harm Reduction” training at ICEERS in 2023. This training was specially developed for facilitators of Plant Medicine ceremonies to increase safety before, during, and after the ceremonies. It is such an honour for me to assist people in their personal process of healing, growth and transformation. Every time I'm impressed over the healing and cleansing effects of these beautiful sacred plants, and the lessons they teach us. Combining these plants with music and sound healing makes it a wonderful experience.  This is how I keep also learning myself :) Over time I have specialized in creating an optimal safe and warm setting, which in my experience is essential for a ceremony to run smoothly. Participants need to feel safe, seen and heard. In this way they can enter the journey in relaxation and surrender. One of the most important tools I use during the journey is: music. Music is a wonderful guiding instrument and I try to match my choice of music as much as possible to the processes of the participants. So my 35 years of experience as a electronic dance DJ (Goa/Psytrance, Organic House) and musician suits well. It would be my great honor to welcome and assist you in your process of healing and transformation. With love and respect, I and the rest of my team will guide you as best they can during your one of our ceremonies and workshops. This way I hope we can give you some direction and a positive contribution to your life ❤️ AHO

Hello beautiful soul, it’s great connecting with you here! <3 I am Yoka, one of the facilitators in our loving and uniquely skilled expert team, and also happy life companion of Ronald. Nowadays fully embracing my gift of intuition, compassion and spiritual connection, I love to support people on their personal healing journey. During a plant medicine retreat it is my personal mission to make people feel safe, seen, loved and cared for. I am there to help you get through any kind of mental, emotional or physical discomfort throughout your journey. I am here to empower you by connecting you in a gentle way to your inner strength and light within. Or just sit with you, holding your hand, or stroking your hear, whispering encouraging and wise words. Just as happily, I join you in celebrating the love and light you are likely to experience. So no matter what emerges in the process, I am holding space for your whole(some) experience while being fully present. You might also meet me outside the ceremony, for example in the process of pre-assessment and/or in the days after the ceremony if you need some more and professional help with processing and integrating your experiences. Besides facilitating people’s healing processes during our plant medicine retreats, I also love to support people in their personal journey outside the ceremonies. In my daily practice as a somatic therapist I do this by integrating the body into the therapeutic process, as the body is the most powerful resource for gaining deep self-knowledge and healing. With combining intuitive touch and verbal communication, I help my clients access their innate somatic wisdom in order to let go of old undesirable patterns that are manifested in their bodies, emotions and thoughts. Every body, tells an unique story, and by paying close attention to that narrative in forms of memories, emotions and beliefs that go beyond words and cognition, a person is much better able to respond differently in the present, thereby expanding their future possibilities and overall lust for life hugely. Feeling very grateful for being able to live out my passion or purpose with empowering others in their personal healing journey, this did not happen overnight or suddenly. This life is what I actively created, and still pursuing by seeing, learning and doing Step by step, and during my own extensive personal healing journey that started with a severe personal crisis and illness. It was in this period of time that I had my first encounter with Mother Ayahuasca, and till today I am still very thankful for acting upon this inner call as it turned out to be a very important factor in my journey to healing and coming home in myself. Today I am inviting you into our sacred ceremony to start or expand your own healing journey to deep self-knowledge, compassion and (self)love. AHO Yoka

Olá! My name is Mariana, and I'm happy to connect with you! My journey with Ayahuasca began in 2006 during a Santo Daime ceremony in my native Northeast Brazil. This experience ignited a profound connection to the divine energy of these sacred plants, which I view as essential teachers guiding us back to Source and our authentic selves. It was a transformative moment, and even though I deep down knew that my life was one of service, this truth became very clear to me at that time. By 2015, during a challenging period in my life, I felt the call of the Mother/Grandmother plant once more. Since then, she has offered me invaluable insights and lessons that have shaped my journey. When Ronald and I became friends, we shared our stories related to plant medicine. In 2018, he invited me to join him as a guide and facilitator, an opportunity I embraced wholeheartedly. It’s truly an honor to support those who choose to embark on this healing journey. In addition to my work at Sattvaya, I am a mother, a social worker, a dancer, and a healer (Reiki Master and Theta Healer). Currently, I’m also in training for female embodiment coaching, which is very exciting! If you’re interested in discussing healing or simply want to connect, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I would love to hear from you! As Ram Dass beautifully said, "We are all just walking each other home." Bliss you! AHO
