Ik wil het gehele team heel erg bedanken voor de geweldige ervaring. De ayahuascaceremonies hebben me weer een stap verder gebracht in mijn helingproces. Ik voelde me heel veilig en daardoor kon ik me volledig overgeven. Het was zo fijn dat er zoveel begeleiding was en dat de groep deelnemers niet groot was, het voelde vertrouwd om persoonlijke dingen met de groep te delen, dit hielp weer om dieper in het proces te komen. Ik merk nu na afloop dat ik liever voor mezelf kan zijn, en voor mij het mooiste: ik heb veel meer dan hiervoor intens kunnen genieten van mijn kinderen. Alle pijnlijke gevoelens en daarmee gepaard gaande stress, zelfafwijzing etc, lijkt wat meer naar de achtergrond te zijn verplaatst. Ik hoop dat ik het nog eens durf te doen!

Eerder heb ik ook al wat geschreven over mijn ervaringen bij Sattvaya. Dit was de 2de keer. Het is allemaal zo goed hier. Even (opnieuw) over de begeleiding. Met zo'n grote zorgvuldigheid, voelt zo veilig en oh zo ontzettend vriendelijk. Er wordt haarscherp aangevoeld of iemand van hen even bij me 'moet' komen, of dat ze mij juist even alle ruimte geven tijdens mijn reis. Dit alles in grote liefde en volle aandacht. Perfect in balans. Ach ja, ik kan het niet laten om helemaal niets over de muziek te vertellen: werkelijk Goddelijk! Als ik terugkijk naar wat ik heb gezien en beleefd tijdens de reizen, dan komen er nu bijvoorbeeld de volgende woorden bij mij op: Herkenning en Vertrouwen.

Opnieuw een diepe, diepe buiging van dankbaarheid!

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 wat een bijzondere ceremonie. 

Mijn eerste reis met moeder Aya. De reis was mooi, heftig, intens, emotioneel, liefdevol maar vooral magisch! Ik heb zoveel kunnen releasen. Ten eerste was de groepsconnectie super fijn, het is echt een safe space waar je kan zijn wie je bent, zonder schaamte of onbegrip. Ook dit voel je bij de begeleiding. Het team was zo ontzettend liefdevol en ervaren! Je bent ècht in goede handen. Alles is oke, je voelt je gehoord en gezien. Dit is heel erg belangrijk als je een reis in gaat.

Ook de muziek was perfect. Echt perfect! De muziek heeft onbewust zoveel invloed op je reis en Ronald weet precies hoe de muziek afgespeeld moet worden. De setting is super warm en relaxed. Ik heb nog nooit zo’n warme, fijne plek en mensen ontmoet. Ook al was mijn reis erg heftig en was ik soms een beetje in paniek, ik wist en voelde dat de beleiding er voor mij was en mij ondersteunden erdoor heen te gaan.

Ik ben zo ontzettend blij dat ik deze eerste reis bij het juiste adres heb mogen ervaren! Voor mij geen andere plek dan 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. 

Het was in een woord: Perfect!

Een prachtige veilige liefdevolle omgeving met een enorme connectie met alle mensen in de groep en vier lieve ceremonie leiders. Het was schoon, mooi, gezellig, knus, fijne muziek, veel liefde en knuffels, lekker eten, mooie leef omgeving, prachtige natuur.

Dit alles heeft vanaf de eerste seconde bij binnenkomst gezorgd voor een prachtige reis. 

De eerste dag met de anahuasca was mooi, rustig en veel

Spirituele inzichten. De tweede dag met ayahuasca en Rapéh was voor mij intens gelukkig, heftig, mooi. Er zijn zoveel inzichten bij elkaar gekomen, helderheid in mijn zijn in mijn huidige leven binnen mijn familie systeem, helderheid uit vorige levens. 

Dit was soms heel pijnlijk en verdrietig, maar zo mooi ook en verhelderend. 

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!

Mijn grote doel in mijn leven is om mezelf te ontwikkelen, zodat ik me meer en meer gelukkig kan voelen. Daarom ben ik weer op reis geweest. Om die reis te laten slagen is een hele veilige omgeving nodig. Voor mij wil dat zeggen een liefdevolle, invoelende, geduldige, integere, en oh zo vriendelijke begeleiding die werkelijk het vermogen heeft zich op allerlei levels in te kunnen leven. Al deze ingrediënten zijn bij Sattvaya aanwezig (en weet, ik stel nogal hoge eisen!!).

Ronald is ook een Meester in de muziek. Echt Hemels. Een onmisbare belangrijke bijdrage die dit geeft aan de reis. Het ter plekke weten (=invoelen) welke muziek er op welk moment nodig is. Het is niet zomaar een urenlange playlist afdraaien met wat mooie nummers. Overigens hier gebeurt niets zomaar. Alles is weloverwogen en gebeurt in grote zorgvuldigheid waarin ik mij gedragen heb gevoeld. Dit alles gaf mij de mogelijkheid om naar binnen te gaan en mij over te kunnen geven aan het alomvattende, maar ook de pijn die zich aandiende.

Eerder heb ik weleens ervaren dat het onverantwoord is om op reis te gaan, als je niet bij het juiste adres bent. Immers, het is niet zomaar wat! Het gaat om een medicijn wat je aangereikt krijgt, waar in grote precisie met zeer veel respect en volledige kennis van zaken mee omgegaan moet worden.

Het is nogal schaars, maar ik heb dus nu een adres gevonden met Hoge Kwaliteit en wat ben ik daar blij mee dat dit bestaat in Nederland!

Liefdevolle begeleiding, ik ben jullie dankbaar, en natuurlijk ook de ‘medereizigers’, wat was ik blij dat jullie erbij waren! Met veel liefde, Karin
