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.

About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

In the safe nest of the women's circle you forget time and leave your daily routines far behind. Sensitive and powerful songs are sung and musical instruments are played around the fire, moments of peace and exuberance alternate in waves. While your perception of what is real begins to change and you start to move outside the world of logic, the magical mushrooms skillfully bypass all your defense mechanisms, so that you can think and feel completely 'out of the box'. It is time to let go of what was, to accept what is now and to welcome what is to come.


Quality Time

No obligations, expectations or tasks for you for a while. Simply the space to be with yourself and enjoy each other. Because now that time stands still for a moment and you can perceive clearly because you become highly sensitive with all your senses at the same time, you are at your most fertile. Life insights about how you relate to yourself, to your loved ones and to the bigger picture are much easier to make themselves known. With the right attitude, you can find peace on your winding or elongated life path and become motivated for what lies ahead. During the truffle ceremony for women in the Nature Temple, you will be very well cared for and you will be given delicious healthy food. Most women thrive on it, even need it regularly to feel good about themselves. Today, we call that self-care, taking care of your body, your emotions and your spirit.


A women's group - The party of recognition

All women share more or less the same intention; to get more satisfaction out of your life. In the trust and safety of the group, you will find recognition and often beautiful friendships arise from such shared experiences. The group encourages you to develop your talents and take on your challenges. Despite the fact that every truffle trip is a personal matter, there is also a real sense of togetherness. Every group and every day brings about its own dynamic. The ceremonial structure allows for a playful and intuitive course in which you are welcome to contribute.

Since women from different countries will probably participate, we speak English. It is therefore important that you can understand English well. Do you have difficulty following English conversations? Then this retreat is not suitable for you. Are you not that skilled in speaking? That is not a problem, we can assist you with the translation.


Facilitated by Maya van Oosterhout

Since 2009 she has facilitated and facilitated women's circles, created sisterhood and encouraged women to live their dreams. Maya started working with individual sessions in nature with magic truffles about 30 years ago. As lead facilitator she knows how to travel the inner realms, she has already guided more than a thousand people through a psilocybin experience. During the inner journey, Maya feels very well where someone is and knows how to anticipate this. As the initiator of Earth Awareness and the Nature Temple, she organizes, facilitates and guides the entire spectrum of the off-grid center. She is clearly at home on the unbeaten paths and has managed to manifest a universal dream in this reality. She is the mother of 2 children, who now live on their own. But of course she is always supported by her fantastic, caring female team. Together we will take good care of you.


The Nature Temple – a special natural location

The Nature Temple, a place that was built with undivided attention. It is a place of hope, but also of beauty, a generator of creative power, of zest for life. A place where dreams have become reality. When you come to Earth Awareness, you really step into another world. Creativity is in full swing in this exceptionally wooded village, where monumental bunker farms appear here and there between the colossal trees with an exceptional number of whistling birds. It is an impressive sight, a lively decor with a fascinating story. The gem of the whole is a breathtaking work of art, the Nature Temple. The Nature Temple is a 140 m2 round work of art, organically built with thick trunks and winding branches, colored glass and clay. The majestic wooden floor with a stylish fire pit in the center give the Nature Temple class. The 7 diameter dome, a geodesic dome-shaped vault in the center of the roof, is a galactic clock at night through which you can observe the celestial zodiac. During the day, the sunlight comes in and you see the crowns of the surrounding cathedral-like trees.


Off grid & back to basic and yet with sufficient comfort

Our accommodation has all the advantages of following a more natural lifestyle. During this ceremony at our off the grid centre you go back to basics, you are offline for a while. There are beautiful eco-toilets and washing facilities, you will not lack anything. The kitchen of the Nature Temple is known for its delicious healthy meals. We really love good food and we are happy to serve the tastiest (home-made) snacks and drinks. Vegetables, fruit and herbs come straight from our garden whenever possible. We grow pumpkins, beans, potatoes, tomatoes, beets, spinach, lettuce and much more. All meals, soups and snacks are organic and vegetarian in any case.

The Group

The group consists of maximum 15 participants, females only, 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.

From a technical perspective, the Nature Temple is a harmonious blend of ecological building traditions, incorporating elements of earth-ship architecture, hobbit houses & log cabins.

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
