"The first thing I experienced was the warmness of the coaches, this been my 1st experience I had alot of nerves & anxiety which they really helped with by talking me through the experience & made me feel safe in the environment. The venue itself was extremely clean & had all the facilities you need. The Ayahuasca area felt like you were in a Big Tepee, Very Special. The coaches/guides were professional throughout & assisted you on your journey. Also travelling from the U.K they mainly spoke in English for my benefit as did the other participants and I'm very grateful to all for doing this ❤️. I learnt that everyone has their own experience, I left enlightened, open minded, grateful for what The Mother Ayahuasca showed me & has given us. I left full of love, an appreciation of all life & know now we are all connected. Thank you Inner Journey 💞"

"incredible! highly recommended."
"Prior to this retreat, I was trying everything to improve my mental health for more than 30 years, but everything felt like a shot in the dark. The retreat helped me to see my destination and plot my course forward. I was able to clear away old hurts and move around blocks. The team assembled for our retreat was caring, passionate and knowledgeable; they knew the right word to say at the right time. I feel more like myself than I have in many years. Living true to my inner self is such a gift. I still have work to do, but I now clearly know my direction and feel such purpose and peace every day. It wasn’t what I expected, but it was exactly what I needed. I truly consider the group retreat one of the best things I have ever done and strongly encourage everyone to embrace this experience."
"Insightful and incredible psilocybin therapy session that provided a clear experience of the transformative power of psychedelic experiences."

Get thee to Holland and experience this incredible journey!"

""A Whole New High", that what you can say about Alice"
"Jeanne shared and passed on her huge experience"
"Years and years of dedicated training makes an expert"
"So much experience, so much dedication and love went into the retreat. Absolutely great."
"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. "
"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."
"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."
"I had my first-ever experience with plant medicine (psilocybin) with Caro and A Whole New High, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The entire team, from booking to trip sitting and integration, truly managed to create the best possible setting for a first-timer.
The preparation was thorough and I was sent a bunch of useful resources well in time before the trip, all very helpful for a soft introduction to the world of psychedelics. This included a whole video course, a preparation video, book recommendations, and so forth.
Caro was a wonderful guide throughout my experience. The preparation session was great, and she was thorough, analytical, and emotionally sound when guiding me in setting an intention for the trip. The result was great confidence and a calm, clear mind ahead of the experience.
For anyone feeling a bit of nervousness surrounding plant medicine, Caro is a wonderful person to have around! She created a comfortable, safe, light, and professional setting from the minute we met, and ensured the same atmosphere throughout the experience. To me, this resulted in complete trust, surrender, and readiness both ahead of, during, and after the trip.
The integration session took place a few days after the trip, granting me the time needed to thoroughly reflect upon the experience on my own first. During the integration, Caro truly helped me both make sense of my visions and connect them to my intention, my patterns, and life itself.
I am ending this experience with increased clarity and a strong motivation to continue my inner work. I truly recommend A Whole New High to anyone aiming to enter the world of plant medicine and its healing powers."
"What a remarkable combination of modern practises and traditional wisdom that Cony brings to the table in his practise of natural medicine.
I cannot thank you enough for this session; not only did it help me get clarity, but it also addressed every question that I had. I was given resources that I can apply in my everyday life, and I already feel like a completely different person - and so much better than before."
"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!

"Booking with A WHOLE NEW HIGH comes highly recommended. As a therapist who was curious in the medicinal benefits of mushrooms for both myself and, ideally, future clients, I was eager to explore the experience in a secure setting. Alice was excellent; she was warm, thoughtful, and educated, which allowed me to unwind and fully enjoy the experience. This is the ideal location to test Psilocybin if you are inquisitive about their powers!"
"Alice has been a very gentle companion on my journey and did an incredible job preparing and holding the physical and ethereal space I had the pleasure navigating through. I got reminded that in these journeys nothing ever is imposed on you from the outside, there are no externalities encountered. It is a date with your most inner divine self and Alice helped create the void for this encounter to happen."
"I am very appreciative of the guidance and encouragement I've received from all of these lovely facilitators, I could not imagine a better team.
I count it as a great blessing to have had several opportunities to benefit from their insight, wisdom and nurturing energy, and each time is stronger than the last.
I am a changed person because of them."
"magnificent"
"The atmosphere is out of this world comforting and safe and Alice is so loving and nurturing, it was more than inspiring."
"With a true heart and enthusiasm for the individual engaging in the medicine journey, Alice combines emotional intelligence with an outstanding understanding of plant medicine/psychedelics and experience.
She is sensitive to the fact that each individual has specific needs and adapts her work to meet them.
You can't help but be moved by her radiant spirit, and your own soul will feel the warmth of her embrace. "
