Find Authentic Retreats in Teuge Netherlands

"the staff was professional and supportive. give us the right set and setting for a psychedelic experience. the place is in nature far from the crowded city great opportunity to find some inner peace.. "

"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."

"Fantastic retreat. Mark, Maya and the workers clearly know what they are doing and do it with care and attention. A safe, supportive and considerate space to explore psychedelics "

"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."

"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 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! Laila"

"This experience has been profound and genuin. The staff, location, food and the people in the group made a deep inpact on me. I felt safe the hole trip. I will be back! "

"I had the best time. Starting from the best setting of nature and simplicity to get you into introspective attitude. And carrying on with the staff members,. Every one of the gave his own workshop to complement and lead us to the ceremonies. Beautiful people, beautiful group. Unforgettable experience. "

"I am so grateful that I found Earth Awareness. I have just arrived back in the UK from a perfect 5 day off grid experience. I went to experience the psilocybin and in the end, all of the other elements of the retreat became so much more important. The team of loving hearts made the whole experience extraordinary. Maya is a beautifully authentic and loving woman (I love tarot and to me she is The Empress.) Mark is a very wise and experienced leader of ceremony, master story teller, musician and visionary. The team of skilled and loving practitioners that make up the outstanding team are compassionate, passionate and made me feel totally supported in their knowledge, wisdom and care taking. I felt like a very welcome guest at their home in every way 🥰"

"I participated in the 5 day retreat which could not have been better. The workshops were very helpful to get the most out of the mushroom ceremonies, and Maya, Mark, and the wonderful facilitators provided a safe, welcoming, and comfortable environment to allow for the utmost focus on the experience without any external worries. The food was delicious, and the accomodations were the best I've had in an off-grid place. I can't recommend this place enough, and am already planning my next trip there! "

"The team at the retreat centre took really good care of us. It was an extraordinary experience. Just keep in mind that you might face some emotional blockages and have a difficult time. "

"Maya and Mark are providing a safe and professional setup for a personal journey My journey led me to rediscover the love and light in me. I was amazed to witness how personal was the journey for each one of us who participate the 5 days’ workshop. We came from different backgrounds and we were strangers to each other and yet, we were guided supported to open up to ourselves Maya and Mark, together with the rest of the team of Nature Temple provided all that was needed for us to feel comfortable, safe and secure. The ceremonies and the activities were effective ‘eye opener’ for each and every one of us. If you have some emotions to solve or work with, or you are simply curious, I strongly recommend you make a ‘leap of faith’ and give yourself the great gift of meeting Maya, Mark and their team "

"I have to thank Maya and Marc and the whole Earthawareness-Team again and again!! I choosed the place, when I saw the picture of this amazing temple. But in reality it's even more beautiful ! The psychedelic Glass Dome, where you can see the big trees behind, the fireplace and the smell of the fire, the beautiful floor...everything. It's not just a building, it's art and the best place for taking the magic mushroom you can imagine. We were 13 different people from different countries ( USA, Great Britain, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Israel, Germany) united in the temple of love, awareness and also pain. We had no shy at all to share our inner world with people we never met before. We were very soon Brothers and Sisters, because Maya and Marc managed to generate a atmosphere of trust between us. The caring Maya, when she wiped the holy smoke over us. The philosophic words of Marc, which carried me through the whole intense 5 days. He is a brilliant speaker ! And even it is repeating it doesn't get boring because of the way he is telling it. The different Trip-Sitters who helped as soon you needed and gave you a feeling of safety ( thank's specially to Laura - you really saved me !) Taking the mushroom is a big challenge: you can't hide the truth because the truth is all there is. You don't know what your truth is and you have to surrender and accept it. There was a lot of crying, but also a lot of laughing. And I didn't believe it, but now at home I feel it. There is peace and love in me, what I didn't feel for a very long time. I highly recommend Earthawareness and dare to do there a Magic Mushroom Retreat. You won't regret it whatever happens"

"Maya is a wonderful guide, and a queenly presence. Thank you Maya!"

"Dedicated to the amazing temple he and Maya built, dedicated to their team, and dedicated to the groups of people who step in their temple. Many thanks Mark!"

"And what do I continue with and where do I finish? There are so many things and feelings that happened inside the wonderful 5 day retreat that is really hard to contain in this review box here. I feel the most important thing to share is that no matter with what you go in, you will come out with a bunch of amazing experiences and a lot of unexpected ones as well. It can be very hard, but this wonderful team does the most incredible job at making you feel safe. I encourage anyone who is doubtful or fearful to try and take this step, trust in this experienced team and join an unexpected journey that will stay with you for a long time. Hope to go back some day!"

"I went for a 5 day retreat with Earth Awareness. I am amazed at what Mark and Maya have created at Earth Awareness, and all of the facilitators and workshops we did were beneficial not only for our ceremonies but also for our life. It was carefully planned out, the food was nourishing and lovely, and I made meaningful connections with the people around me in our group. I felt taken care of and safe every step of the way. During both ceremonies, I was given opportunities to have facilitators to lean on if I needed, but was also left alone to do my own personal processing. I feel very humbled by my retreat to Earth Awareness and would confidently recommend it to both the first-timer and the experienced psychonaut. Thank you Mark and Maya! <3"

"Was lovely to hear Sarah singing during the ceremony!"

"Was a pleasure to spend time with Pascal! During the ceremony he gave everybody so much confidence with his presence!"

"Was lovely to spend some time with Laura during the ceremony and during workshops! She's very knowledgeable, strong and centered."

"Arend Jan brings so much knowledge and experience to the table! It's a pleasure to have him around!"

"Her presence during ceremonies makes you feel that whatever happens, she's there for you. Lovely human being!"

"He is absolutely one of the people you want around when you experience with altered states of consciousness!"

"Took part in a 5 days retreat together with 13 other people. Mark's and Maya's experience (plus the rest of the team) made it an incredible and safe journey. Would love to go back!"

"Really delighted with every part of the retreat, the setting was magical within nature loved all the food and experience as a whole."

"I had a challenging but great time at the Earth Awareness temple. During my stay I built a strong connection with myself and others; that's something I haven't experienced in a long time. I have been given insights - by both the mushrooms and the people - that will definitely improve my experience of life. Mark, Maya, and the rest of the Earth Awareness team are absolutely wonderful and they take care of all the participants with utmost sincerity. I recommend their retreat to everyone who is trying to live a wholehearted life, which I hope is everyone on this planet."

"This was my first experience ever with psychedelics. The center is a beautiful space, crafted by Maya and Mark. The temple is absolutely a gift to the eyes. Meeting with Maya and Mark, I immediately felt safe, at ease and comforted. They are warm, cheerful, play beautiful music and are very welcoming into their space. Doing a ceremony for the first time can be scary but it was hugely facilitated by them. They possess a true knowledge and know-how to ensure the experience is both mind blowing and secure. The experience is different for everyone, but I found mine to give life changing insights in way I didn’t feel was possible before. Coming out of the effects, Maya and Mark were present, warm and attentive to my needs and feelings, both the night of the ceremony and the day after, giving me helpful guidance on how to integrate the experience. They say set and setting is central to how your ceremony can go, I wouldn’t think of any better set and setting to do it. I might come back to the mushrooms if I feel called again in some time, and Teuge would be my first choice. "
