About this Retreat

Your Guides

Details of this retreat

Sometimes you feel it is time to pause.
To step out of the busyness and listen again to what is truly alive within you.

Have you always wanted to know what a truffle journey is like? Or do you already have some experience and feel ready to go deeper?

You are welcome to join the guided truffle ceremony with an overnight stay at the Elster Dome, near Nijmegen, in the quiet days between Christmas and New Year.

Every journey is unique. Yet it often brings forward exactly what within you is ready to be seen. Old wounds explored and sometimes released, a felt sense of self-love and acceptance, clarity on what truly matters.

With a small group and an experienced team of at least one guide for every four participants, safety, professionalism and care are the core of our work.

You do not have to travel home after the ceremony. You stay in your bubble, sleep in the dome, have breakfast together, and take the morning to integrate what came up.

No previous experience with truffles is needed. We meet you where you are, and support you in your own way of understanding the experience.

⚠️ Important

Truffles are legal in the Netherlands. However, while they are in general safe, a truffle ceremony is not suitable for everyone, for example if you use antidepressants, antipsychotics or sleep medication. Every participant goes through an application process, followed up by an intake call, so we can check contraindications and make sure this is a safe step for you. In doubt? Just contact me, safety first!

A truffle journey asks for a brave heart. And for being willing to meet whatever wants to show itself, the beautiful and the difficult.

A very intensive retreat with comprehensive care by a committed team
I recently did a 3-night retreat here and it was one of the most intense I have ever done. At other retreat centres, they often keep you busy in the morning and evening only, but at this one, they did tantra and other meditation, breathwork and somatic exercises all day long.
The exercises were sometimes a little bit confronting but consent was always asked for and you were able to pull out of any exercise you wanted to without judgment.
Imke and Ioana and the two other facilitators put a lot of effort into every single exercise and were very present with all of us.
The location on farm property in the countryside was a much welcome escape. For those who need access, the WiFi was perfect, the facilities had everything you need and the food was very good.
On the final night, the truffle ceremony was one of the most intense experiences of my life and the team prepared us very well and helped me through it from start to finish.
It has been a life-changing experience and my brain feels like it has harmonized in a way that I have not felt since I was very young. My daily routines since coming back from the retreat have also changed and I am trying to engage with the world, myself and my healing much more consciously.
If you are concerned at all about safety while having a truffle experience, I would highly recommend this team as they were very committed, hard-working and extremely present.
