Retreat Highlights

THE NATURE TEMPLE is designed for ceremonial use, it functions as a compass and initiation center for truth-seekers. This beautiful organic roundhouse made from big logs, curly branches, clay and glass with a majestic floor, a geodesic dome on the green roof and a fire burning in the center. A place of initiation, for reflection on and reconnection with our origin and the greater whole. Make the most of your psilocybin journey and join a retreat at this phenomenal location.
PERSONAL APPROACH
We are dedicated to provide our guests the opportunity to benefit from the psilocybin’s potential to catalyse a life changing experience. For us it is not a job or a hobby, but a way of life. The main difference between us and other retreat centres is that we live at this place as well. You really visit us as our personal guest, you are truly involved in our off grid lifestyle and philosophy. You eat the veggies we cultivate, the artwork all around is home-made, so you can experience first-hand how it feels to live in closer connection to nature. Our guests often tell us this element is a contribution to the whole experience and surely a rare thing to find in Western Europe.

Mark Huser

The initiator and director of Earth Awareness and architect of the Nature Temple, he is the master mind behind it all. Mark is a multi-talented person with great vision and a proactive attitude. As an extraordinary artist he is engaged with creating beauty in all its diversity, which is unmistakably found everywhere around the centre. For 13 years he and Maya are organizing countless events and retreats. His teachers came from many different shamanic cultures, but above all the Huichol, the Shuar and the Shipibo traditions. After a full-time cycle of initiation into medicine plants and by collaborating intensively with many wisdom keepers, 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 retreats. He proved himself being an authentic bridge between the ancient knowledge and the modern Western culture.

Maya van Oosterhout

Director of the organisation and artist of the Nature Temple, she is the care-taker of the holistic vision. Her experience in this type of journey-work is outstanding. Her quality lies in her empathic and bold approach. Her motherly, unjudgmental, supportive attitude and vibrant spirit makes people feel at ease quickly. She sings enchanting songs, plays various instruments and is a furious dancer. She is a mother of two grown children and an influencer on a sustainable lifestyle. With her guidance you can be sure that you are personally taken care for.

Laura van der Heijden

Laura has been connected to our centre for over 10 years and we really love her cheerful presence a lot. As a young girl she was very passionate about movement and dancing, she did the previous education of the ‘National Ballet’ and Tai Chi. After 8 years of training, she works as a certified ‘Critical Alignment Yoga’ (CAY) teacher and runs her own yoga-studio ‘YogaDus’ in Amsterdam. She teaches to all ages and all levels. CAY focusses on the alignment of the skeleton. This form of yoga helps to move freely and without stress, in collaboration with gravity and breathing exercises. She helps people to build up confidence towards the physical body, which stimulates the self-healing qualities of the body. Laura is also a meditation/visualisation guide. She has over 25 years of experience with psychedelics and visited her shamanic teacher in Ecuador several times. As a ceremonial facilitator she is utmost caring for the participants and has an eye for their basic needs. She is a team player, very strong in practical’s and always in a good mood.

Pascal Rees

Pascal is a steady and grounded presence, his first visit to the centre was in 2008. With his experience as Nature Life Coach, Shinrin-yoku walks, breath- and wellness coach and shamanic training, he is a versatile addition to the team. He is an active, compassionate and optimistic facilitator during the ceremonies and retreats. Sacred plant and animal medicine helped him to find his way in life and a more conscious spiritual and earth connected path. He loves to challenge people to find their inner wisdom and become the best version of themselves. He loves to work in the garden as he is a permaculture teacher as well. His practise is called NatuurKrachtCoach and that's why always loves a good walk in nature! He also works with the plant spirits through the use of the essential oils, aromatherapy so people can empower themselves with the use of natural products.

Ramona Capilitan

Ramona is a warm and gentle spirit who is alround at the centre. You can find her in the kitchen as a ground facilitator or meet her taking care for the guests during the ceremonies as a ceremonial facilitator. At our retreats she is offen taking care for relaxing chair massages, which is a blessing for all participants and really compliments the retreats. If you are in need of some relaxation in the body’s muscles or a soothing touch to realine your body’s energy field, her hands will find the way. Her companie is called The Art of Relaxation and Creation. At her practice in Amstelveen she offers massages, coching & workshops. She also works over 10 years as a massage therapist in companies. As passionate as she is for giving massages, she also loves to cook delicious food. Specialty: homemade banana-bread! You will find Ramona also in our kitchen making great soups and salads.

Sarah Schutzle

Sarah contributes to the Earth Awareness since the beginning of 2021 with her music and presence. From angelic to primal, she weaves a powerful web of sound with her voice and instruments to support you on your healing journey within. As ‘Sarah Sounds’, she shares her songs and improvisations during ceremonial concerts and other events. She also offers Singing Circles and Voice Expression workshops. As birthkeeper ‘Wonders of Life Doula’, she gives extensive emotional and practical support around and during childbirth. She also weaves music and birth-work together, offering opening- and closing ceremonies to honour and celebrate transitions in life, such as childbirth, becoming a parent, but also loss and grieve. For Sarah, life is ceremony. She’s a lover of silence and subtlety, but also of truthful raw expression. She aspires to hold earth as sacred, to integrate and embody our divine human nature. Both her music and birth work are about creating safe spaces where people feel welcome, just as they are, and invited to connect to themselves, each other and all life more deeply.

Pricing

The pricing is all included (food, drinks, truffles, workshops and overnight stay). But we offer also the option to rent a private tent at our indoor camping. The tents are limited available and come fully equiped (bedding set, night lamp) so you can travel light. If you don't choose for this you sleep in the Nature Temple and you have to bring your own sleeping gear. Because we need the space during the daytime for the workshops this means that every morning you have to pack your stuff into your bag again.

We offer a varied and supportive activity program during the whole retreat. You can be sure we offer you a balanced program set up to help you to prepare for or integrate the mushroom ceremonies.

The Group

The group consists of maximum 24 participants, both male and female and probably from different nationalities, therefore we speak English. Many people are seeking a way to enrich and enhance their lives and reconnect with nature, feeling more and more enmeshed in impossible demands, pressure and stress, with a sense of being out of step with their true authentic self. If you
feel that life has lost its magic or fulfillment, the path of psychedelics might help you to reawaken your spirit.
All participants share more or less the same intention; to create a more rewarding life. In the trust and safety of the group you find recognition and many times friendships evolve from these shared experiences. The group stimulates you to develop your talents and deal with your challenges.

Incompatibilities

These retreats are meant for people with good mental and physical health. It is not offered as a substitute for medical or psycho-therapeutic care. Psilocybin mushrooms cannot be taken in combination with anti-depressive or anti-psychotic medication. If you are on these or other kind of medication or doctor treatments for mental health you cannot join these retreats. For your safety and the safety of others you always need to inform us about your medical or psychological treatments or complaints. If you did not inform us right, we can exclude from joining the ceremonies. Joining a retreat is always on your own responsability. Read More

Schedule

An unforgettable life-changing experience

I went to a five days psilocybin facilitated retreat at the Nature Temple and the setting were just perfect: not only the place is stunning but I also felt I was in a very safe and loving environment.
The insights brought by the immersive journeys are still with me and have changed the way I feel connection with everything and hence the way I experience every single moment: every breath, every thought, every interaction, every situation.

I feel deep gratitude towards the organisers Maya and Mark, for the amazing ceremonies, their profound talks, and their expert care. And I feel gratitude also towards the facilitators and coaches that were present: Laura, Sarah, Pascal, Ramona, Arend Jan - I so thoroughly loved their classes, wisdom, cuisine and music. And also I am grateful to all the participants, for their openness, their courage, their humour and their beautiful sharing. It has been an unforgettable life-changing experience. Read More
