I want to thank the entire team very much for the amazing experience. The ayahuasca ceremonies took me another step further in my healing process. I felt very safe and this allowed me to surrender completely. It was so nice that there was so much guidance and that the group of participants was not large, it felt familiar to share personal things with the group, this again helped to get deeper into the process. I now notice afterwards that I can be nicer to myself, and for me the best thing: I was able to enjoy my children intensely much more than before. All the painful feelings and associated stress, self-rejection, etc, seem to have moved a bit more into the background. I hope I dare to do it again!

I've been writing before about my experiences at Sattvaya. This was the 2nd time. It's all so good here. A word (again) about the counselling. With such care, it feels so safe and oh so incredibly friendly. There is a razor-sharp sense of whether one of them 'needs' to sit with me for a while, or whether they are just giving me all the space I need during my journey. This is all done with great love and full attention. Perfectly balanced. Ah yes, I cannot resist saying nothing at all about the music: truly divine! When I look back at what I have seen and experienced during the trips, the following words come to mind now, for example: Recognition and Confidence.

Again, a deep, deep bow of gratitude!

Overall I can describe the journey as intense and unique. Am grateful for having had the opportunity to participate and have a clearer idea and focus on where I can deepen my healing process after the ceremony. It is too soon to have full clarity on the experience as the effects are very still there and integration is in full process.

During the ceremony I felt supported and guided by a beautiful team of spaceholders. The music played and made is a beautiful part of the journeys, drawing you further in and nourishing and cherishing your healing process whilst in the journey. Allowing space for stuck emotions to be released was very powerful and after the ceremony I feel I have a lighter heart.

The integration circles are key to your own integration process. It's beautiful to share your experiences and hear what other participants have experienced.

The surroundings allow space for walks in nature or just charging your batteries in a relaxed environment.

I knew that I need to try Aya. But did not know wher to go. When I heard about Sattvaya, I knew it is the right place for me. And I was not wrong. Did not expect anything from the group, session, people, place,... But was really positive surprise. The place is amazing (exactly what you need at that time), the nature, perfect place for walking, being with yourself. I was feeling really save, confortable, could express my feelings, had a huge connection with people in the group. Ronald and his team took excellent care of us. I am still surprised about how they knew exactly when to come and give exactly what was needed. And above all the music, that was amazing, no words can describe it. What I gained: peace with myself, in my mind, I stopped the conversation with myself (negative ones), now I have a need of meditations, need of going alone to the nature, need to listen myself, my intuition.

I’m really glad that I chose Sattvaya for my first experience with plant medicine and I can strongly recommend Ronald and his team. Big thank you to them. I will definitely be back one day. Music, people will stay with me forever. Forever grateful for amazing experience.

With love. AHO ❤️

I always thought I wasn’t ready for the Medicine but all of a sudden it called me. I was a bit anxious but the setting made it easy to surrender. The guides were deeply genuinely caring for me and the other participants. There was an enormous space for our own process and for me it was a deeply profound experience that helped me further in my path and healing. I will definitely do this again in my life. I can highly recommend this centre. It’s casual, non dogmatic yet very experienced.

Ronald, Yoka and the team are angels in human form. You can tell they are doing plant medicine, ayahuasca ceremonies because they have so much knowledge and wisdom to share with those of us who are in the beginning of their enlightenment journeys. They do this from their heart and they give their everything before, during, and after the ceremonies to ensure you leave there as the best version of yourself.

There are no judgements, no expectations, just teachings that you get the answers mother Aya wants to show you. Each of us are in different paths and therefore we all will receive different messages from her.

Thanks to them, I was able to have such powerful journey. Met with Mother Aya and the spiritual powers and had my life’s most memorable moments (even more magical and two childbirths! :) ) in addition to adding new life long family members; Ronald, Yoka, their team, and all the other eleven participants.

Thank YOU from the bottom of my heart for being inspiring and amazing journey partners, path finders, and knowledge and wisdom light carriers. Until we meet again,

AHO 🙏🏻✨🌞😇❤️

Wow what a special ceremony.

My first journey with mother Aya. The journey was beautiful, intense, intense, emotional, loving but above all magical! I was able to release so much. First of all, the group connection was super nice, it really is a safe space where you can be who you are, without shame or misunderstanding. You also feel this with the guidance. The team was so incredibly loving and experienced! You really are in good hands. Everything is fine, you feel heard and seen. This is very important when you go on a journey.

Also the music was perfect. Really perfect! The music subconsciously affects your journey so much and Ronald knows exactly how to play the music. The setting is super warm and relaxed. I have never met such a warm, nice place and people. Even though my journey was very intense and I was a bit panicked at times, I knew and felt that the siege was there for me and supported me through it.

I am so incredibly happy to have experienced this first journey at the right place! For me, no other place but Sattvaya!

Big thanks and love for the team and participants <3

This was my 4th time at Sattvaya healing. I just love going to Sattvaya as the location and the accommodation are 5 star and keeps Improving with every vist.
The staff are so kind loving and caring. The guidance from the staff during the ceremonies is so good that it gives you a safe and loving environment feeling. Ronald plays the most wonderful music for that extra experience. Even at somepoints the music is enough to guide you on your journey.

Well for my 4th time I knew before I went to the retreat is was going to be a difficult and a challenging weekend for me.
In the weeks running up the the retreat I had started remembering bad childhood memories and didn't realy understand why.
At the retreat after sharing with the group and staff it became clear that I had to face my childhood fears and abuse from my father.

During my journey I was shown lots of bad memories that I had blocked out as a child. I was made by ayahuasca to face each and everyone of my fears. When his is done I would be free to move on with my life and stop living in the passed.

After the ceremonies I can say now that I feel free and content with my self my mind and body feel so at peace with my self.
Now I feel free happy and confident enough to move on in life and not to look at the passed but only to the future.

Living happy and free ✨️ 😌 ☺️ 🍀🙏

Beautiful experience thanks to the guidance of Ronald and his team. Specially kudos to the facilitators Gabriel, Joska, Marina and Howard. such warmth and care for somebody you just met. And the music is insanely good. it contributed to a wonderfull journey.

I have never experienced anything quite like this. The journeys I took were beautiful and allowed me to observe my thoughts and feelings from new perspectives. I felt lighter, more energized and much more curious about plant medicine after this retreat. Ronald and his team took excellent care of the journeyers and really supported us before, during and after our retreat. I’m really glad that I chose Sattvaya for my first experience with plant medicine. 

Words cannot justify the devine experience I had during the two days of Ayahuasca ceremony with Sattvaya. I attained spiritual enlightment and was guided to the truth of life by Mama Ayahuasca. True compassion and intense love was felt throughout, although it was not easy and required full surrenduring during the journey. 

The team of Sattvaya was outstanding in its guidance, preparations and carrying throughout the whole retrait. The beautiful music, the continuous care and love from Mariane/Joka/Mia, the ambience of the room, the amazing people participating; it was magical!

Thank you so much for this life-changing experience.

All love

My journey with Ayahuasca (my first) was very revealing, freeing and also in the long run very beneficial for my well-being. I’m more aware of my feelings, understanding them and react accordingly. The notion of compassion and how it is the natural human state (compared to ego) was very present during my journey but left an important imprint on my interpersonal relationships. 

It was in a word: Perfect!

A beautiful safe loving environment with a huge connection with all the people in the group and four lovely ceremony leaders. It was clean, beautiful, cosy, cosy, nice music, lots of love and hugs, delicious food, beautiful living environment, beautiful nature.

All this made for a wonderful trip from the first second on arrival.

The first day with the anahuasca was beautiful, peaceful and many

Spiritual insights. The second day with ayahuasca and Rapéh was intensely happy, intense, beautiful for me. So many insights came together, clarity in my being in my current life within my family system, clarity from past lives.

This was very painful and sad at times, but so beautiful too and enlightening.

It was a wonderful weekend, great appreciation for the Sattvaya Team to create this space where healing can take place. With a warm welcome and a perfect location for a sacred Plant Medicine. We had two ceremonies with beautiful live music and an integration session afterwards with helped me to take the most out of this experience. 

The ceremony was placed in a very peaceful and clean ambient and it was very good organised and prepared. I felt very comfortable, I was just very excited, what is normal. In the first round of the first day, the medicine gave me a very pleasant feeling of floating and I felt lovely vibrations. I felt my body dissolving with the music, which was very helpful to surrender in the journey. I felt confident of going deeper in the journey with the second round. The second round brought me in a strong conflict with my inner fears and blockades and it was hard for me to surrender.

With the help of the guidance I could feel more safe and with less fear. In the live music I found the solution and way out of the self conflict with singing. I found out, that music is my way of healing.

It's the single most important journey I have taken in my life! I was surprised by how much I surrendered that is thanks to all the staff who made me me feel safe and comfortable. 

The experience was a message to let go of the things out of my control and trust the process of life. I walked into the Ceremony looking for a purpose and came back out with one. The music was beautiful and the voices of the shamans singing brought me nothing but peace.

It was amazing, thank you all for this great ayahuasca experience!

I think the plant medicine helped to give me the courage to finally speak my truth, which I had been wrestling with for a while. I feel I’m now at the start of a new path in my life’s journey, which will be full of purpose, love and truth.

The music during the ceremonies was incredible it really helped me to let let go and assisted with the journey. The facilitators were amazing, they were there to offer support when needed and even performed reiki and body work during the sessions which really added another level to the whole experience. After the ceremonies, I found it very difficult to sleep so just rested, whether this was because I had so much on my mind or whether this was just that the medicine was still in my bloodstream, I don’t know, but the passengers and the facilitators were there for me when I really needed them. I hadn’t cried properly for around 8 years but after the final session, I couldn’t stop crying for hours. I was clearly holding a huge amount of emotion in and it felt good to finally release some of it. Whilst I went through this the facilitators were there as well as the amazing people I had taken the journey with.

Throughout the entire weekend I felt no judgement from anyone, it was such a safe place to be open and vulnerable. Everyone there had there own stories and issues to go through and we were all there for one another, I felt nothing but peace, respect, love and truth for the entire weekend. Thank you to all that were involved in the journey and who have helped me move into the person I want to become, full of life, joy, laughter, compassion and love!

Life changing and heart opening proces. What an amazing journey, just mind-blowing! I have dived very deep into my unconscious mind and I have seen some relevant knots in my life, which I have resolved with relevant relations after coming home. Also the retreat brought me close to myself and my own truth. Such a heart opening and awakening process. Highly recommended!!!

I have participated in many international quality retreats with great teachers alive these days, and Sattvaya is a high level retreat in their spiritual, psychological and shamanic approach. Sattvaya has taken every effort to create a well thought of, safe and compassionate process, with a high amount of professionality and eye for the subtlest detail for the participant’s care and wellbeing. Genuine and honest, considerate and empathetic process, with a high focus on the participants expansion and support. Even after the retreat there is care and support available. They take so much responsibility for the work they do, and this is one of the most important things in working with people.

Thank you for the life changing experience. Can’t wait to join again soon!

My big goal in my life is to develop myself so that I can feel more and more happy. That is why I went on a journey again. For that journey to succeed, it takes a very safe environment. For me, that means a loving, empathetic, patient, honourable, and oh-so-friendly guidance that really has the ability to empathise on all kinds of levels. All these ingredients are present at Sattvaya (and know, I set quite high standards!!).

Ronald is also a Master of music. Truly Heavenly. An indispensably important contribution this gives to the journey. Knowing (=feeling) on the spot what music is needed at what moment. It's not just an hours-long playlist playing off some great songs. By the way, nothing just happens here. Everything is deliberate and done with great care in which I felt carried. All this gave me the opportunity to go inside and surrender to the all-encompassing, but also the pain that presented itself.

Previously, I have felt that it is irresponsible to go on a journey if you are not at the right place. After all, it's not just anything! It is about a medicine you are handed, which has to be handled with great precision with very great respect and full knowledge of the facts.

It is rather scarce, but I have now found an address with High Quality and how happy I am that this exists in the Netherlands!

Loving guidance, I am grateful to you, and of course also to the 'fellow travellers', how glad I was that you were there!

With much love, Karin
