Eric van der Hoeff

Eric has worked successfully as an entrepreneur in fruit cultivation for 30 years. He built, together with 3 partners, an international cultivation consultancy for fruit growers. This company grew into a respected and leading company in the sector. Working with and in nature, the trees, the soil and his customers gave him a lot of satisfaction. After 30 years of very hard work, with success, he has very consciously chosen a different direction.

“After years of hard working and multiple experiences with psychedelics, I have very consciously chosen a different direction. For me, plant medicines are a special part of nature and clearly show how powerful the unity between plant and human is.”

Eric wants to share his knowledge and experience and he does that by facilitating others in their psychedelic journey. So that everyone, who is interested in this, can experience getting closer to themselves. In a safe setting. That’s what he grants everyone.

In order to become a good facilitator, he first gained a lot of “travel experience” himself. He tried various plant medicines at lots of other retreats and he did a lot of his own research. He has gained a lot of experience and worked on his own processes through the annual program of House of Louise.

"To facilitate others, it is important that you yourself are well aligned and know what someone else is going through by first experiencing it yourself."

Thanks to his background and life experience, Eric continues to keep a down to earth view on a world that is seen by some as “woo woo” or too spiritual.

“I know the power of the substance very well and know that this can help people with a straightforward view on life to get closer to themselves, their feelings and their happiness.”

He is extremely grateful that he, together with Marieke, can share their estate in a beautiful place in the middle of the Betuwe (NL) with others where everyone can work on personal growth in peace.
