We make sure that everything is taken care of, from the intake till the evaluation you can expect professionality from us, as well as a human and authentic approach. We didn’t learn the tricks of the trade from books or courses, we were trained in the field. After a cycle of 7 years intense training and collaboration with shamans from ancient linages of plant medicine-keepers from all over the earth, we started inviting people for our own ceremonies with the magic mushrooms. We both speak good English (and Dutch).

As an extraordinary artist he is engaged with creating beauty in all its diversity, which is unmistakably found everywhere around the centre. Mark has an incredible understanding about the use of sacred plants as a tool for transformation. He is an inspirational speaker, a marvellous musician, a powerful chanter and a resourceful lead-facilitator during the ceremonys. He proved himself being an authentic bridge between the ancient knowledge and the modern Western culture.


Maya van Oosterhout (1976) - the Netherlands

MAGIC MUSHROOMS - The Benefits of attending our private psilocybin ceremonies

Magic Truffles are non-toxic to the body and completely legal in the Netherlands. Magic Mushrooms are the general name for mushrooms that contain psilocybin and psilocyn. Psilocybin mushrooms enlighten the brain, free the mind and activate the waking dream state. They are a key to the circle of oneness and show us how everything is interconnected and interrelated. We use them to accelerate self-discovery, as a tool for healing and as a visionary vehicle to travel within and beyond. They expand consciousness, allowing us to realize the wonder of life. When magic mushrooms are used with respect and sincerity, they can catalyse healthy and lasting life-changes.

During recent years, a lot of scientific research has been done on psilocybin, The results show great promise of using these psycho-active compounds for managing treatment-resistant forms of depression, anxiety, addiction and PTSD. Science is just starting to grasp the tremendous healing and wellness potential of this ancient medicine, both medical as well as psychological and emotional. Psilocybin has a close similarity to our normal brain chemistry and can stimulate the development of new brain cells.

NATURE TEMPLE

An initiation centre for the people, for reflection on and reconnection with our origin and the mystery of creation. This unique experience space is specifically designed for ceremonial use. It functions as a compass and initiation centre for truth-seekers. The enchantment of the Nature Temple is the ultimate setting to explore altered states of consciousness. A visit guarantees an unforgettable experience full of inspiration.

The Nature Temple is a 140 m2 square work of art, organically built with thick trunks and curly branches, coloured glass and clay. The majestic wooden floor combined with a fire place in the centre gives the Nature Temple splendor. The 7 diameter geodesic dome-shaped vault at the roof functions as a galactic clock through which you can watch the celestial constellations at night. During the day the sunlight shines through and you can watch the crowns of the surrounding cathedral-like trees.

Library of the earth – Made from more than 40 different types of wood, mostly inlands, give the Temple an unmistakable authentic character. Each type of wood tells its own story, both physically and symbolically. From a technical point of view the Nature Temple has become a combination of various ecological building styles, with elements from an earth-ship, a hobbit house and a log cabin. We have made use of straw, clay and cord-wood construction techniques.

Thanks Mark!
Mark guided me through my journey, made sure I had the support I needed at all times. Overall the experience was wonderful. Thanks to Mark, I was able to overcome my anxiety throughout the session and went through all the different stages safely. I'm going to return here soon.

Amazing inner Journey
The experience at the Nature Temple was my first psychodelic experience. I felt totally safe and embraced by the staff and inspired by Marcs Words and philosophy. I learned a lot and I am really glad that I took on this journey.

If you're an over-thinker and anxious about the experience, just book it - you won't regret it
I went on the 5 day mushroom retreat and honestly the work that Mark and Maya are doing is so wonderful I think everyone should experience it. I was super anxious before I went about what it was going to be like, and what I was going to discover about myself, or how it might change me, but I shouldn't have worried. I'm still me, I experienced something meaningful, and now I feel very fortunate to have been able to attend.

The whole site is smaller than I had though it would be, and the accommodation (camping beds inside tents in one long room), and the facilities (sawdust toilet and one shower) are basic and limited for the size of the group, but comfortable enough. Actually this ended up forming part of the experience - getting away from all modern comforts helps you to appreciate them more.

The food was simple vegetarian meals, but we ate some really delicious things during the retreat - great soups, and morning porridge to name a couple.

But the main reason to come here is for the people: both the people who run it and for the other attendees. The people running it really know what they're doing in terms of sessions and timings, to make it a relaxed and really meaningful experience. And while me and my fellow attendees were all random strangers to begin with, by the end of the experience it felt like we'd all been hand-picked to represent all different facets of life, background and experience.

The mushroom ceremonies were certainly a major part of the experience, but really it was the time to centre ourselves before and after; the sessions that let us do this; and most significantly the 'sharing' time to hear and digest everyone's personal journeys and experiences that really made it so incredibly special. My first ceremony the mushrooms just gave me the gift of relaxation - I enjoyed the music, played the drums, enjoyed nature, and had a generally wonderful time. My second ceremony took me on more of an emotional rollercoaster - at one time mourning my grandparents who lost their former families in the Holocaust, and later laughing uncontrollably just based on the joy I saw in some of my fellow attendees.

I've only been back for 2 days but I can already feel changes in my own behaviour where I'm more focused, more tolerant, and less addicted to social media. I've felt like smiling at people if I catch their eye, almost unheard of in London!, and have felt much more connected to those around me while also feeling like things that might have annoyed me previously (loud conversations, busy public transport, etc) don't annoy me now.

Would strongly recommend everyone does either this (or other) guided/considered psilocybin experience because its an amazing way to take a break from normal life and come back to it with some fresh perspectives.

Great experience
This was one of the greatest experiences of my life. The facilitators were excellent in the way they responded to our questions and needs. The setting was great for introspection, and the workshops and guidance helped me delve into the mushroom experience and get the maximum benefits. I felt privileged to go through the experience. I would highly recommend Earth Awareness for true seekers of their inner selves.

Highly recommended.. a blissful experience
I joined the 5 day retreat and it was everything I ever wished for and so much more.

Mark & Maya created a safe space for healing, reflection and connection with oneself, the environment and the community within the group.

The team were nurturing and the food was delicious.

The nature temple offers a haven for seekers of healing and transformation.

I’m forever grateful to the nature temple and the team. A memory that will last a lifetime with me.

I left feeling reborn!
