Petra’s dream
Keep the dream of health, happiness and peace alive. For yourself, others and the earth.
This is what I, Petra dream of ever since I was a toddler.
Since 2000 I am holding on to this dream and pursuing insights on this matter. Insights that are heartfelt. But before I could understand the matters of the heart I had to dive in. First preparing healthy foods to nourish my body. With that my body could hold more feelings. I realised how important my body was to feel more safe with all the convictions and patterns of behaviour I was taught from my family, friends, school, religion, work and environment.
Doing the inner child work brought me to plant medicine in 2017. Just before this retreat ‘The Mother’ showed me in a lucid dream a path of light I could choose to walk, together with so many people.
She’s a true Plant Teacher, a Vine of the Soul. Through the years guiding and facilitating many retreats in different organizations I learned to navigate through the darkness of pain and fear within me and supporting so many souls finding their path of more peace and ease in life. I chose this path with grace to pass on what I received.
What’s your dream?
We would love to support you on your path with our retreats.
We don’t just offer a ceremony with ‘The Mother’. The teachings from here need loving care with a proper preparation and integration afterwards.
So you can live the life you dream of.
Tjeerd’s dream
The inner child work is not an easy path to choose for. Nevertheless, deeply rewarding.
That’s what I, Tjeerd experienced walking this path with the plant medicine. I made the choice to change my life, just before the first retreat with plant medicine in 2017.
My jobs in society and with guiding and facilitating retreats brought me to a deeper understanding. To flourish in life, either it’s an organisation or a human being we all have a need to be seen and heard.
This is what I dream of. To bring the quality every single human has into the light. With honouring the sacredness of every living creature, I prefer to do this with humor and playfulness. It supports my never ending positive constitution.
Tjeerd & Petra
Tjeerd and Petra supported each other’s paths, working as a team.
Already since 1987 we are living life together. Mirroring each other like couples do. With a strong believe we grow old together.
location in nature
We are living in nature nearby Zutphen/Deventer in The Netherlands. Our guests come from all over the world to experience the plant medicine in our western oriented way of working. Grounded.
Retreats with Plant Medicine
Preparation and Integration is key to have the most benefit of a ceremony with plant medicine. Our retreats combine different forms of inner child work to make you feel at home with us, in the group and most importantly: within you.
We have experienced that sharing, a clear explanation of how the plant medicine can work with you and Heartdancing helps to feel more at ease. A safe environment is provided for this way to be well prepared for the day of the ceremony.
The day of ceremony we start with at least an hour of breath work. This way your body opens up even deeper before the ceremony starts. Breathwork helps to let go of some of the layers of control we all may have. During the ceremony this allows you to surrender deeper, without losing control.
The last day of the retreat is to support you integrating the experience. With sharing, tools to support you get the experience grounded within you. A closing playful Heartdancing is part of the integration. Inner children love this!
Afterwards we have a digital gathering of the group.
Circle with Plant Medicine
Preparation and Integration is key to have the most benefit of a ceremony with plant medicine. Therefore we also offer retreats with the opportunity to have 4 digital gatherings of the group: 2 before and 2 after the retreat.
This way not only the preparation is more easy, the integration part is also more easy. During a ceremony you will notice The Plant Teacher may give you ‘home work’ to do. How to do this and bring the experience to life needs sometimes discipline, sometimes just being heard, seen and acknowledged. Support of the group and tools shared on how to do this are helpful to integrate the home work in daily life.
NOTE: reservations closed 1 month before the retreat starts.
Integration day to get grounded
This is a day for up to 6 people.
We live in the middle of nature on an estate. We have a wide range of simple tools to help you get in touch with your body.
Here you can breathe and enjoy nature. A day with attention to what is going on inside you. We take a (barefoot?) walk, give tips for a healthier lifestyle in terms of nutrition and grounding, eating good food, and do simple exercises.
This is a day to connect more with what is going on inside you. To (learn to) be present in the body gives space to feel more free.
We feel that our souls come alive in our body on earth. The human body is a wonderful vessel to express a variety of talents and feelings and it needs compassion and loving care to feel free to do so.
