De ceremonie bij Sattvaya was ontzettend waardevol! Ik heb genoten van de locatie, de groep, de muziek en de algehele sfeer. De reis was pittig, maar précies wat ik nodig had. Speciale dank aan de begeleiders die elk hun eigen rol vervulden in mijn proces. Ze waren zo ontzettend waardevol en ik had zonder hen lang niet zo diep kunnen gaan. Mocht de plant je roepen, dan is Sattvaya een top plek om je reis aan te gaan.

Wat een fantastisch weekend heb ik gehad bij Sattvaya. De locatie en sfeer was heel fijn. Ik voelde me erg op mijn gemak waardoor ik me totaal kon overgeven tijdens de reizen. Het was echt een geweldige ervaring en ik ga zeker terug naar Sattvaya.

Bedankt voor alles <3

I had a truly wonderful experience with Sattvaya. My journey with the sacred plants took me to dark and painful places, but also to light and most loving and beautiful places I have ever experienced. As for many people, I felt that I was shown exactly as much as I can take, no more no less. I entered the retreat with headful of things I wanted to work on. Intentions proved to be so important! I got to do some really important work during my travels and felt eternally grateful to the whole lovely Sattvaya team for facilitating it.

This being my second ceremony at Sattvaya, I found myself immersed once again in a profound journey of self-discovery. The insights gained were significant, shedding light on various aspects of my life and highlighting areas where I needed to grow. The guidance provided by the facilitators was nothing short of exceptional, deepening my connection with  them. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to fellow seekers who has the courage to transcend their egoic narratives and stories and embark on a deeper exploration of self and life at large.

Dit is mijn 2de ervaring met Ronald en Yoka, en wow, deze kwam nog dieper binnen. Het plantmedicijn geeft je wat je aankan en wat je kan dragen. De begeleiding was weer zo liefdevol en zorgvuldig. In combinatie met de prachtige muziek en onvoorwaardelijke veiligheid, die Ronald en Yoka samen met het team creëerden was het wederom een magische reis. Het maakt mij nederig, enorm dankbaar en tranend van blijheid en geluk. Het leven is zo mooi. Aho

The experience here was life-altering for me - in only positive ways. I gained so much happiness, insight, and self-acceptance from this retreat. The effects of it continue to work long after the retreat and enable me to tackle very different aspects of my life with light-heartedness and optimism.

All of these positive changes have everything to do with the loving and accepting atmosphere created by the organizers. Having gone to a different provider before, I have to recognize that the plant medicine worked really well this time, because it was in connection with the amazing guides who led the retreat.

For those who searching for an answer, for those who dont know how to move forward and are stucked somewhere, where they cant get out on their own, for those who wanted to find themself an heal their heart and a soul, I highly recomended Ronald and his team of guardians. This was for me a lifechanger!!❤️

Het was een ongelofelike ervaring op een supermooie rustige locatie in een mooie boerderij . Fantastisch mooi en qualitatief buffet met vers fruit, broodsoorten, verse groenten, soep .... georganiseerd door zeer lieve en inteligente mensen. Topervaring op elk vlak en zeker de moeite waard ook de prijs / kwaliteit is zeker een correct e eerlijke prijs !

De muziek tijdens de ceremonie was perfect, ondersteunend in de reis. De begeleiding liefdevol, kundig, met compassie, commitment en zorgzaam op een respectvolle manier voor een ieders proces. De sharingcirkel zo mooi om ieders inzichten als reflectie en herkenning te mogen aanhoren. De ruimte zorgvuldig en mooi ingericht, aandachtig en met liefde gedaan. Mijn reis ging terug naar mijn zeer kleine Peter die beschermd wordt door zijn ego en (mede daardoor) niet volwassen heeft kunnen worden. Volwassen Mannelijkheid is mijn thema geworden, een zoektocht en besef dat zich ontvouwd. Ik mag mijzelf hierin opvoeden en bij de hand nemen. Een grote verantwoordelijkheid. Vanuit liefde.

The ceremony was an intense and profound experience for me. It was both intensely beautiful and emotionally confronting at the same time. But all through the journey I knew I was in good hands. Yoka, Ronald and the team were all very supportive and their active presence helped me and others a lot, and created a very open and safe space. Especially many thanks for the amazing music! It was an important part of the experience and the integration process later. I listen to the songs often and the music immediately reconnects me to the journey and helps understand my experience better. I am enormously grateful for this experience!!!

Je hebt vast weleens over een Ayahuasca ceremonie gelezen of gehoord. Het klinkt gek maar je weet voor jezelf wanneer het tijd is om dit te beleven. Het is een ceremonie waarin je in staat wordt gesteld om je ego te overstijgen, pure meta reflectie toe te passen, je angsten aan te gaan en te durven loslaten, te voelen wat verbinding is, uit te werken wat je doel is, en veel meer dan in woorden te vangen valt. De ceremonie/reis is zwaar, mooi, intens, heftig & broodnodig voor persoonlijke ontwikkeling, naar mijn beleving. Het vergt goede voorbereiding en een juiste intentie van jezelf. Ronalds team zal tijdens de ceremonie/reis er onvoorwaardelijk voor je zijn. Dit maakt dat je achteraf een streep zet én kunt zetten in wat je wenst, nodig hebt voor de vormgeving van je huidige bestaan. Door mijn pijn te (her)beleven, te verwerken, te overzien en te integreren heb ik een nieuw startpunt gecreëerd. Dankbaar!

I loved the location and the group of people felt very good and the atmosphere was great. I loved that we had so much time to connect and talk. During the ceremonies, I felt safe. Overall this was a wonderful experience. Perhaps it was a bit much for me to join 2 ceremonies in 2 days. But my body could handle it. The medicine showed me a lot of interesting themes. Thank you team, for your support.

Transform your life, connect deeply with yourself, and immerse in the limitless love of existence at Sattvaya. This team, comprised of compassionate and skilled souls, is dedicated to healing individuals and the world. Nestled in a serene, lush setting, yet conveniently accessible, Sattvaya offers the perfect retreat.

My journey with Sattvaya began with sharing my story of deep-rooted traumas from early childhood losses. This pre-retreat communication meant I was welcomed like an old friend upon arrival, with the team fully aware of my needs and intentions. Their support was not just facilitating but actively participating in my healing process. Their empathetic touch and words were transformative, offering life-altering insights and helping me confront and understand my struggles. I learned new ways of self-communication and appreciation for the beauty and gifts of life.

Describing this experience in words is challenging, so I invite you to interpret it creatively. This journey is about connecting with a healing medicine that confronts and heals in unexpected ways. It involves immersing yourself in Sattvaya’s atmospheric music and space, feeling the pure love we're born into, and experiencing a divine glimpse beyond our reality's curtain. I am filled with gratitude for the profound experiences, the caring team at Sattvaya, and their effective, growth-oriented therapeutic approach. Most importantly, I thank myself for bravely embarking on this challenging yet rewarding journey. I return home lighter, happier, and healthier.

Dit was weer een ongelooflijke, mooie reis. Ik ben zo dankbaar voor de uitmuntende begeleiding want dit had ik echt nodig. Ze weten je precies op het juiste moment op te zoeken en op de een of andere manier voelen ze precies aan wat jij nodig hebt tijdens de reis. Een aanraking, positieve en stimulerende woorden of gewoon naast je gaan zitten. Ik heb het nu al 4 keer gedaan maar ik heb nog nooit zo'n goede begeleiding gehad. Het eten was heerlijk, de bedden zijn comfortabel en je kan helemaal jezelf zijn. Als ik het nog eens ga doen dan weet ik 100% zeker dat ik weer terug kom. Enorm bedankt voor alles en ik ga jullie snel weer zien! Aanrader voor wie ayauasca wilt gaan proberen. This is the place to be!

Ronald is mastering the art of the ayahuasca plant and its ceremony sublimely, through his experience, knowledge, musical guidance, rituals and much more.

Everything during the ceremony is aligned to have a profound journey, including a powerful intro and soothing ending. Thanks to the guidance and support of experienced and loving people I felt save and being looked after; they really helped me to go deeper, discover and surrender. The place, the ceremony room, the setting is totally accommodated to create a warm place for participants to connect, and share and let go.

A wondeful and life changing experience, with a kind group of participants and safe mentors throughout. 

This was an experience unlike anything else in my life. The positive energy of the team and the atmosphere of the ceremony room embraced us from the start. With the start of the ceremony you understand that this is going to be very special. The lights, the music and the loving care of the team prepare you, and then the Mother Plant takes over. The following hours are just magical. Whatever the Mother Plant brings up in you, it is very reassuring to know and feel that the team is there to support you. I cannot imagine a safer and more loving environment to experience this journey. I cannot thank the team enough, and I am already looking forward my next ceremony

Meeting Mama Ayahuasca is certainly a highly individual and intimate experience, and I couldn’t have wished for a more heartwarming, guided, safe and trustful environment for my first encounter with plant medicine.

From the very first contact with Ronald who patiently answered all my questions via mail and phone call until the very last goodbye in our closing circle on Sunday with all the shining souls I felt warmly welcome and seen, truly safe and professionally guided – a setting way above expectations, that allowed me to fully let go, trust the process and guidance and thus experience a journey towards inner peace, awareness and healing which it is difficult to put in words.

The level of authenticity, professionalism and above all passion the whole Sattvaya facilitator team embodied was overwhelming, their love for what they do, the light and sparkle they filled the room with, the never-before experienced way they make music with their outstanding voices, live instruments and sounds that seem to be from another galaxy to my ear in a level never listened to yet, made my heart full of joy & peace and my eyes full of tears of thankfulness, freedom and healing energy.

What I understood after  my weekend of Ayahuasca, that Ayahuasca is more that your own journey. It’s sharing and open yourself to strangers. It’s love, to support each other and to allow be loved. All the amazing conversations we had. 

It also come to my knowledge that what all of us needed is to be seem, that I was a little girl asking for the attention/love I never got. 

I could at knowledge that thanks to Ayahuasca and the amazing help of all the facilitators. I had the chance to talk to my inner child and hold her. I’m a different person now, I need to learn who I am at 46 years old. But I am very happy to have it done. Even my way to hand write has change a bit, it's more free now!
I don’t going to lie, it was hard. 
I did more that 8 years of therapy (that had gave me lot of tools and strength to manage my life better, and helped me for example ask for help during the ceremony), but what I acknowledged in one ceremony it could not be achieve after years of therapy, simply because there you feel it, is your heart and your soul and your body, no just your mind the one that understand it. 

Uncovering a perspective beyond the ordinary requires wandering into the unknown; my initial encounter with ayahuasca was truly exceptional. Delving into the realms of Mama Aya illuminated the path to self-love that I was seeking, far surpassing my expectations.

From the tranquil surroundings to the experienced and empathetic guides, every element of my voyage played a role in an impactful and transformative journey. Sattvaya established an environment conducive to profound healing and spiritual exploration. I would suggest Sattvaya to anyone ready to explore the depths of their being.

I participated in the October retreat at Sattvaya and was profoundly impressed by the professionalism and extensive experience of the organizers. They provided excellent guidance, offering valuable information as we prepared for the ceremony, including dietary recommendations and mindfulness practices.

Throughout the retreat, the organizers consistently demonstrated warmth, respect, care, and love, which were evident in their interactions with us. The Ayahuasca experience is a deeply transformative journey. On the first night, I faced one of the most challenging evenings of my life. Despite the intensity, I felt exceptionally safe and well-supported by them.

During the Ayahuasca ceremony, the organizers didn't leave participants to navigate their inner journeys alone. Intuitively, they provided support exactly when and how it was needed. As a scientist, I cannot explain the mechanics of this, but on both nights, I felt their presence precisely when it was most crucial. I hold immense respect for the challenging yet vital work they undertake.

The organizers also facilitated our integration within the group. Despite spending only two days together, we quickly opened up, sharing our deepest worries, painful memories, and personal struggles. The connections and love that flourished among the organizers and participants, as well as among the participants themselves, were profoundly beautiful. In fact, half of the participants, particularly those living in close proximity, formed an integration circle and will continue to support each other in their ongoing integration processes.

I have had a wonderful ceremonial weekend. The location was beautiful, the team was very nice and helpful. Everything was very well arranged and the setting was exactly how it should be. I'm very happy that I chose to do my journey at Sattvaya and can fully recommend it!

Het groepsgevoel was geweldig. De begeleiding was top waarvoor zeker extra dank. Op het juiste moment op een of andere manier voelde een begeleider dit aan en zei me “dat ik er mag zijn dat ik niet zo streng voor mezelf mag zijn.” Dit zal ik nooit vergeten waarvoor dank !

Ik was in het begin bang en nerveus totdat ik binnenkwam bij de prachtige locatie en setting. De energie die daar hing, voelde direct erg positief. Ik had de eerste avond een zware, maar zeer betekenisvolle reis achter de rug, die mij veel inzicht en heling gaf die ik in mijn dagelijkse leven kan toepassen. Ik wil Ronald en het team nogmaals heel erg bedanken voor hoe liefdevol ze ons hebben begeleid en voor ons hebben gezorgd. Ook de groep was heel begripvol, liefdevol en je kon helemaal jezelf zijn. Wanneer de medicijn mij weer roept, zal ik hier zeker terugkomen. Dank je wel!

I now experienced this retreat for the second time and still feel that this is a unique place. they create a safe environment to journey in and deal with whatever comes on your path. The love and dedication of the team is truly admirable.

The atmosphere of the ceremony room was excellent, cozy and it felt very good to be there. Yoka and Roland and the other 2 helpers supported us during our ceremony so lovely and careness. I realy felt loved and protected. Thanks for this again.
This experience helped me in my conscious, that this is the right way and worth to go deeper. The music during the ceremony was chosen so well and helped me to enjoy and surrender myself more and more.

This spirituel trip was the most interesting and wonderful thing I ever experienced so far and I will do it again and again.

Thank you very much.

I wanted to join an ayahuasca ceremony for some years now to enhance my personal growth but the big obstacle was where? There were no friends or relatives who were interested in this so I had to search the internet. The first thought that came to me was “ INTERNET ??? you ´re crazy, how can you trust this?” but my curiosity seemed to be bigger than my distrust so I booked a place. I AM SO GLAD I DID!!! At arrival I noticed immediately that my scepticism was ungrounded. The team knows what they are doing and more important why. The love, safety and acceptance that is created by the team and participants is powerful. Ronald guided us on with loving, open and clear words and music through the ceremony. Yoka gave me personal and total attention and presence when I felled that I needed it. Mariana her touches opens hearts. I will come again!

This has been my 4th time and 1ste time at Sattvaya. Every ayahuasca experience is different. In the end you can only surrender to the drink and see what's coming. The guidance at Sattvaya is kind and full care . Besides that the location is amazing, the music fitting, the food amazing and every step of the whole experience is well thought out. Besides that there is plenty of time for integration and time to process. This all makes it a valuable experience which gave me new insights

It was my very first time with Ayahuasca. Short: overwhelmed!!!

Longer: With some previous awareness work, proper (but hard, what was worth it) diet, a lovely Sattvaya-Team: their care, their words, their music, their live-sounds, their touch, their presence - I hade two wonderful and indescribable nights with Mama Ayahuasca. I felt sooooo incredibly safe and so much love from "strangers". During the ceremony a door to my innerst self was opened that longed to be opened for some time and I am so thankful it was opened at Sattvaya.

I am sure I will come back and send some lovely Souls to this place.

Hoiiiiiii <3

Mijn eerste ontmoeting met tanta Aya. De eerste avond was intens. Goed ervaren en voelde me hiervan opgelucht de dagen erna. De tweede avond was kalmer, heerlijk bewust euforisch van de lichamelijke ervaring genoten en de muziek. De muziek was heerlijk en luister ik nog dagelijks naar. De live muziek en zang was niet te beschrijven zo mooi en bracht mij in een diepe ontspanning waar ik mij nog meer kon overgeven aan de ervaring. Leuke groep met hele lieve begeleiding. Fijn huis met een mooie tuin en lekkere wandel-omgeving. Superrrrlekker eten!

Niet specifiek nieuwe inzichten maar wel een gevoel alsof ik dingen heb kunnen loslaten, voel (nog meer) een constant sprankeltje geluk in mij rondzwemmen. Bedankt Ronald, Yoka en de anderen.

LOVE Remco

I have been wanting to attend ayahuasca ceremonies for a long time, but there was always something holding me back. When I found sattvaya online and spook to Ronald by phone, I felt a sense of trust and excitement and nothing turned out to be less right. Yoka, Ronald and the other caretakers really put a lot of care, work and love into these weekends. The guidance through the ceremonies and the (live) music is really amazing. Also, the questionnaires and checkups before and after the weekend really give you that safe and trustworthy feeling you need for an experience like this. I was always sceptical about attending a ceremony in the Netherlands instead of somewhere in the jungle abroad, but now, I would definitely go back. For everyone who is looking for a safe place where love and trust is put first, I would definitely recommend Sattvaya. 💖

I felt safe and cared for during the retreat. I felt the love and energy that was shared by the guides. The music, love, conversation, (sharing circles) and nourishing food. I could complete surrender myself to the experience and fully let the plant medicine work and show me what I needed to see. I appreciated the in depth phone call with the shaman. The conversation with the guides during the weekend was helpful to let go and surrender. Which allowed me to remove expectations and be in the moment.

I received exactly what I needed. I was able to heal things with my family and gain new love for myself and the people around me. I am so grateful. I move through life much happier and free.

Ik vond de ceremonieomgeving fijn en de begeleiding was uitstekend. De muziek tijdens de ceremonies was prachtig, en ik voelde me echt op mijn gemak.

Massively lovely experience with incredible music and live healing instruments. My journey to magic world was incredible.

The way how Ayahuasca works is hard to describe by words, you just have to experience it. It definitely changed my personality, for a better. Or if to say even more right, it did cleaned away lots of what is not mine, but I been holding to it. It helped me to release so much of negative emotions I been keeping inside and what did blocked all my potential and didn't let me to be my true myself. That may seem scary or uncomfortable, to go through all of that emotions what we are trying not to pay attention to so actively. But it is definitely a healing process and it's necessary to let go all what is not good for us, to free space for something new and beautiful.

Thank you all of our supervisor, shaman team, who did enormus work to support us in our healing process, Your help did mean a Lot, Thank you for your guidance and spiritual healing what you all did to help us to go through what we were facing that nights.❤️

Once massive cleaning process during my first night was done, second night of Ayahuasca began beautifully. I had lots of euphoria moments, listened to incredibly beautiful music what Roland and the rest shamans were playing and live singin, playing musical instruments, I was enjoying the new found peace in within me, and feeling overly happy, I think I did never felt so happy before. I will not gonna describe all my trip and visions what I did had, but it was special, something really, really special and life changing.

Massively lovely experience with incredible music and live healing instruments. Feeling of safety and care created by Ronald, Joka and their team. Amazing group of people. Some new insights about love and the people around me but mostly a confirmation that I am on the right trajectory. Will certainly do a ceremony with Ronald and team again!

Almost one week after the ceremony now and I’m still wondered and glowing. It felt as if I received 2 years of therapy in 2 nights. If you think you understand life and spiritual concepts, wait until you feel them during the ceremonies. The experience changed my life forever. I can highly recommend it if you seek to experience breakthroughs in your life!

The journey I’ve made with both of the plant medicine, feel life changing. During the first ceremony it felt a bit overwhelming at times and I was literally not in control (I always am so that felt good but also kinda scary). I really learned to use my voice that night and felt a lot of insights and physical cleansing of my body.

The second journey felt more like the medicine I know, love and trust, being called to the spirits and it was an amazing spiritual experience. My body was able to process a lot of old pain and trauma and the guardians helped and held me trough that process which felt really loving and safe.

The space of Sattivya really feels like a warm and spiritual space and I would love to come back some time and have another journey with them. Once again I thank you for holding space and doing this incredibly important healing work 🤎

This was my first experience drinking Ayahuasca, and I could not have done it in a better place than with Ronald and his team. The guidance was professional, and with a pure intention. In an atmosphere of openness and respect, the group was taken step by step through the whole journey. I admire the work these lovely people do in helping others in their healing process.

I once heard someone say, when Mother Ayahuasca calls you, you better pick up the phone. It is true. My 2 journeys were not easy, but I was well supported and looked after. Thank you all for this unforgettable experience.

May Mother Aya call me again, I know where to go: Sattvaya.

AHO

Wow wat een mooi weekend een fantastisch mooi kado aan mezelf! De organisatie bestaat uit pure, liefdevolle en gepassioneerde professionals die zorgen voor een fantastische reis waarin niets ontbreekt

Voor mij 10 uit 10 :) Complimenten voor de manier waarop de ceremonie werd gegeven en ook de nazorg die er geboden word, echt super fijn! Puur, liefdevol en gepassioneerd! in alle opzichten boven verwachting :D

Never having engaged in this sort of ceremony before I was a bit apprehensive. But I had two special journeys and in due course they gave me clarity over the issues I have been facing.

The ceremonies were lovingly and skillfully conducted, the music, especially Ronald's live contributions, was excellent. The setting was lovely and thanks to the guidance I felt a strong connection to the other participants as well as the staff.

Everybody was just lovely. I'm so privileged to have been able to join this extraordinary adventure and I can highly recommend it.

I can confidently say that coming to the retreat was one of the best decisions I could make on my healing journey.

Ayahuasca is a challenging medicine, it requires you to completely surrender and let it do its work - which is not always a pleasant thing, especially when it comes to releasing old traumas and negative patterns. But doing it in a supportive and loving environment makes all the difference and I’m beyond grateful to have been able to do it with Ronald, Yoka, Noud and Mia - they created a safe space for all of the participants to experience all that Mama Aya wanted us to see and feel.

The music during the ceremony was beyond beautiful and greatly enhanced the whole experience. Besides that, in just 2.5 days we were able to build a sense of community among our group, which is something I didn’t think was possible at all, yet it made all the difference as we were able to share our insights with each other openly, without any judgement.

I’m forever grateful for this magical weekend and would recommend the retreat to anyone who is interested in plant medicine.
