De setting voelde heel fijn en veilig. Het team was heel toegewijd en vol liefde, ze gaven iedereen de ruimte voor zijn/ haar eigen proces maar wanneer je behoefte had aan begeleiding dan waren ze aanwezig. Je kon merken dat Yoka en Ronald veel ervaring en kennis hebben over het gebruik van plantmedicijnen, dat voelt fijn. De muziek was fantastisch - magisch zelfs. Ronald speelde live verscheidene muziekinstrumenten, Noud zong - het was echt magisch en verdiepte mijn ervaring van de reis. Ik heb mooie inzichten op gedaan tijdens de reizen en ik voel meer vertrouwen in mezelf.

Amazing experience and beautiful setting and atmosphere. The team are amazing and is such a life changing experience.

It was a wonderful experience, well prepared, organized and guided in a peaceful setting. I'm very satisfied about the guidance during the weekend, and I felt deeply connected with the other participants. I have experienced beautiful visions and gained several valuable insights, some light and positive, others dark and confrontational. For about a week, I remained in the mode and the atmosphere of the weekend, and I still listen to the music regularly.

I had a truly transformative experience with you, wow. After a really dark year, where I lost a lot of joy and purpose in my life I decided to reconnect with Ayahuasca to heal, to listen and to be held and transformed. The setting was so beautiful and made me feel so safe from the moment I arrived - I knew I was exactly in the right place.

Even though parts of my journey with Aya were hard and painful to look at, it was an incredible transforming experience. I truly feel like I have found my home within. I feel so clear on my path, there's so much more love in my life and I feel very grateful to be alive everyday. I feel like I came "back to life" through my journey with you and now I am my happy, joyful, radiant self again. Thank you so much for your beautiful work! And thank you Madre Ayahuasca. Aho!

De plantmedicijn reizen tijdens de retraite waren de meest intens heftige life-changing ervaring, die eigenlijk niet met woorden te omschrijven is. Ayahuasca heeft mij antwoord gegeven op mijn intentie en zoveel meer.

Het op meerdere lagen van bewustzijn te gelijk aanwezig zijn, de inzichten en puzzelstukjes, die op geleide van de prachtig gekozen muziekstukken, allemaal naadloos in elkaar vielen was adembenemend.

De begeleiding zorgde de gehele retraite door voor een veilig gevoel en was bijzonder mooi ondersteunend met persoonlijke aandacht, muziek, zang, handpan en andere instrumenten. De gehele groep (inclusief de locatie eigenaar 🎸 en 😇 angel Julia 🎸 ) voelde als een liefdevolle familie.

Het integreren is waarschijnlijk nog wel even bezig. Zeker de eerste week na de retraite voelde ik duidelijk de aanwezige begeleiding van de plant Ayahuasca nog dicht bij mij.

Ik heb liefde, vrede en harmonie intens mogen ervaren in een groep die ik daarvoor nooit eerder had ontmoet en voel daar een overvloed van dankbaarheid voor 🙏🏼

AHO AHE

The whole experience is something everyone needs to experience at least once in their lives. Everything was exceptional from the lovely team, who were very supportive and friendly. They made us feel at home for the few days we were there. The ceremonies and especially the music!! It shifted me personally to another dimension, a place I’d have chosen to remain had that been a choice.

It’s not possible to express the experience in words, one must experience it for themselves. Thank you Ron, Yoka and the whole team for such an amazing experience.

I had my first Ayahuasca experience with Sattvaya, and it was much more profound - on an emotional, physical and spiritual level, than I had anticipated. A truly transformative and liberating experience in so many ways, that will forever stay with me. The setting was very caring and loving, and thoughtful regarding the authentic/native rituals. The team did a great job at providing a safe space, and elevated the journey by creating the right (musical) atmosphere. The group dynamic and sharing circles, which I was somewhat skeptic about beforehand, actually contributed very well to the healing part of the retreat. All in all, I look back on a beautiful weekend full of insights, love and gratitude.

The weekend, with two sessions and two ayahuasca drinks per session, was perfect for immersing fully in the experience! The scenery was perfect: In nature, a beautiful space with several spots to sit inside or in the sun. Comfortable beds and wow, the music!

The guidance was perfect: many (6) experienced people with different kinds of characters and vibes: everyone was super professional and there was someone there for all participants!

They used two kinds of ayahuasca brews for Friday and Saturday, which was also very interesting to experience. Ronald explained the difference very openly and clearly. You can decide how much you want to take and rely on your intuition.

After the ceremony, I've experienced much more mindfulness and being in touch with myself and Mother Earth. The rat race of modern society feels uninteresting to me. So if you want to be ambitious according to modern Western norms, don't go to this retreat ;) I'm now in a transition to feel what's important to me and how I can live closely by my values and intuitions. It's not easy, but I've witnessed the complexity and beauty of 'the universe' and this empowers me to trust the process.

All be well! Aho

What a trip! What a journey! It opened up doors I didn't know needed to be opened. The experience was hard, soft, nice, challenging, eye-opening, soothing, joyful, emotional, connecting and so much more. Thanks to the loving and caring team that stood by us every step of the way, there was no hesitation, no fear. For me at least. I dove right into my subconsciousness and learned whatever mother aya felt necessary for me to learn. Nothing but love and gratitude. I'll be back! Big love! ~AHO~

It was my first experience so I cannot compare to anything I've been through before. The most important thing for me, was feeling of safety. I didn't know that I will be so helpless during the session. On the other hand I could have allowed myself to be helpless because I was among people who were there to help (take care of) me if needed, who were there to share love and gentle tenderness. Live music we had a change to delve into was both soothing and guiding. It was in a perfect sync with how I felt, what I needed (it was really not clear for me, if I felt like that because of the music or the music so well fitted into how I felt).

The journey itself is inexpressible in words and hearing others during sharing sessions showed me that it is something different for everyone. The point is that I received what I needed..... funny enough not what I wanted.

I’ve just returned from a weekend with Ronald, Yoka and the rest of the Sattvaya team. This has been an amazing retreat and thanks to Ronald and Yoka I have learnt so much about myself and made some incredible discoveries.

The retreat started with a warm welcome from Ronald and Yoka and introductions to the others in our group for the weekend. Everything was explained in detail about how our time would be spent and when the ceremonies were. My fellow seekers of light were an absolutely incredible group of people full of love and kindness. We were supported by Costanza and Juan who sang and played some awesome music to help us with our journeys.

This is the first retreat I’ve done and the care and professionalism of everyone is super impressive and I want to thank you all so much, big love

I came with curiosity, I left with a life-changing experience, a gift that cannot be un-given and forgotten anymore. Ronald, Yoka & the amazing Facilitators help me (us) go through this journey with much love, giving the feeling of safety that allowed me to let go and dive in.

The Medicine helped me to feel deep love and acceptance as being a child of this Earth, showed me how important my family is to me, and that I am strong enough as a husband and father to provide for it - as my father was. The soulful music took to me beautiful places inside, and I processed my fear of abandonment of a child being thrown into this world at birth - I was born again!

And all of this with other travelers around me, making this experience full of connectedness and a sense of being part of something bigger that we all share. As many of us said: words can hardly describe what we felt.

I am so grateful, thank you!

Simply said: what a great journey! The truly warm and comfortable yet professional Team provided great guidance and care. The goosebump music played and performed made the ceremony complete.

The ceremony left a strong imprint in the first week, before (unfortunately) several positive insights gathered and even behavioural changes started to fade off. I feel it is pretty hard to keep the positive learnings in practice, but staying tuned as much as I can.

Thanks to the lovely team. AHO Tony

This was my second time at Sattvaya, and my experience was again very good. I felt comfortable, and I could easily surrender to the medicine. The team is professional, and it is the ideal place to work on yourself. When the time comes, I will definitely come back. AHO.

I enjoyed the ceremony. I didn't know what the expect. Information we received prior was very helpful and helped to get in to the atmosphere. Lovely ceremony with great support of the team. Lovely experience with beautiful music. Gained quite some new insights.

It was my 3rd but not last weekend with Sattvaya. It is the most profound way to connect with my inner wisdom and activate it for the time after the ceremony. The lovely care from all of the team, the kind guidance, the amazing music, the tasteful food - it all makes the experience super special. And words can barely describe what this all is and was. I will come back for sure and for now I am beyond grate- & thankful to have found such a mindful space.

I had wanted to try Ayahuasca for about 8 years now. Ever since I heard about Dr. Gabor Mate and the incredible work he has done with trauma patients. The experience with the Sattvaya Team was something special by itself.

An incredible group of people who demonstrated a lot of heart and soul into what they are doing. I felt safe and in good hands during the whole weekend. I can’t make any of my family members and loved ones take Ayahuasca, but if anybody has interest in having a well composed ceremony I would definitely recommend Sattvaya. With psychedelics Set and Setting are very important and the Sattvaya Team paid great attention to both. Oh yeah, and the music with live instruments and sounds makes it all even better.

Thank you very much for the humbling experience. Peace 528hz and Love 432hz.

Voor de 4e keer ayahuasca gedronken waarvan drie weekenden bij Sattvaya.

Wederom een fantastisch weekend gehad. Het is voor mij een weekend wat energie geeft en voel me opgefrist en schoon als ik thuis kom. Het geeft me iedere keer weer inzichten en frisse energie waardoor ik op persoonlijk en zakelijk vlak dicht bij mezelf kan blijven, steeds meer helderheid in wat ik wil en ook actie onderneem.

De ceremonie wordt geleid door een een team met wat bestaat uit professionele en voldoende begeleiders. Die er voor je zijn en helpen wanneer je wil, goed aanvoelen wat er nodig is. En creëren een fijne, veilige en ontspannen sfeer, lekker en gezonde maaltijden voor een fantastisch weekend. De locatie is ook geweldig, mooie ruimtes en in een mooie omgeving.

Het heeft mij persoonlijk veel gebracht. Als je de behoefte voelt om ayahuasca te drinken dan is een weekend bij Sattvaya perfect! Tot de volgende keer!

Firstly the music was exceptional. The care and attention to providing a safe, kind and loving space was more than I could have dreamed of. For a person on their first Ayahuasca journey, I wasn't anxious at all. Every guide was fantastic, each bought a different style of care which created a whole and beautiful experience.

I had a beautiful trip and the after effects have been totally life changing. I am mindful of every things, my feeling of oneness and love infuses everything I touch, observe, interact with and consume. My life and perspective with this unconditional love is the purest peace I have ever known.

So thank you. infinitely.

Well where do I begin this time. This was my 6th weekend retreat at Sattvaya healing and my hardest retreat to date but most beneficial for my development in life. I had lots to release from my past as I was carrying so much of my ancestors/ family members burdens / excess baggage. Well this time I had so much traumuas to release and l got so lost along the way that I could not have got it all out if it was not for the expertise from Yoka and Ronald as they knew exactly what I had to do and ask for when in my process. For me it was time to forgive and forget and allow my self to move on. The key for me was forgiveness. I would say that I have had full body and mind release from pass traumas.

Forgiveness is the key.✨️🙏🍀🤍😌

The experience is just incredible each time. The settings, music, and the support and love is just next level, definitely the best place in Netherlands to do Ayahuasca by far. Also, especially being in the middle of nature it makes the experience so much better and authentic.

The brew especially the caapi brew is just next level and can take you to the deepest levels of the subconscious, I feel like the mimosa prepares you, and the caapi brew just breaks through to a whole new level which is the best way as it allows you to get prepared on the first day and then journey deep on the second day. The experience showed me both the love and light, but it also took me deep in the shadow and although it was frightening at times, I feel like it's important for growth and allows you to face it.

Just wanted to thank Ronald, Yoka and the rest of the team for the amazing experience. Looking forward to doing it again in the future.

Ik kan me geen betere plek voorstellen voor mijn eerste kennismaking met plantmedicijn. Alles was zo zorgzaam en professioneel begeleid en voorbereid. Wat een mooie balans tussen absolute veiligheid enerzijds en dat vriendelijke 'duwtje in de rug' anderzijds. Het feit dat er een mooi tapijt werd geweven met de muziek (ook live) heeft me enorm geholpen gedurende mijn reis.

Ik kan, denk ik, voel ik, nog heel lang verder met deze ervaring. Het voelt als een diepe transformatie die ik, als een prachtig geschenk, op mijn eigen tempo verder mag uitpakken. Ik voel me heel dankbaar en open.

Deze retraite meemaken was best spannend voor mij bij aanvang, maar ik was nieuwsgierig en het leek me het allerbeste moment in mijn leven om dit te doen. Verwachtingen had ik niet echt, ik voelde me eerder ontvankelijk voor wat zou komen, open voor de uitwisseling met de natuur, de planten, de wijsheid van de natuur en dus ook die in mezelf.

De informatie op de website, de vragenlijsten en het telefoontje vooraf gaven me al veel vertrouwen in Ronald en Yoka en hun team. Ik voelde me open en ontvankelijk voor wat deze reis me zou kunnen brengen. Hoe het allemaal voor mij verliep kan ik hier moeilijk in woorden omschrijven, maar wat ik hier graag wil meegeven, is hoe uitmuntend en indrukwekkend alles was, zeker de betrouwbare, veilige en verbindende sfeer die gecreëerd werd. De prachtige muziek, de aandacht voor iedereen, de zorg, de evidentie waarmee alles in een bad van liefde gedragen werd, de schoonheid waarin alles baadde, de live muziek en het zingen, de steun en zorg die heel afgestemd was, zoveel als nodig en niets teveel. Je wordt deel van een groep en gaat in verbinding dankzij de rituelen en de deelcirkels, maar je hebt ook alle vrijheid om dicht bij jezelf te blijven, jouw rei te maken en je niet te verliezen in zorg voor elkaar. Het leek wel of de begeleiders ogen op hun rug hadden en voelsprieten over hun hele lichaam.

Ik voelde me volledig op mijn gemak, vol vertrouwen. Dat alles heeft zeker gemaakt dat ik tot een grote overgave kon komen in de reis die ik maakte naar binnen. Ik weet nog niet wanneer, maar als ik terug op reis wil, zal het wel terug bij jullie zijn!

Namaste. M.

Another incredible, life changing, emotional and healing journey. This was my 2nd ceremony at Sattvaya and I have felt really cared for and safe with everyone on the team. I feel as if I’m many pound's lighter energetically and I could give myself the space to release a lot of my old trauma’s and (generational) pain.

The spiritual journey and lesson's mama Ayahuasca has given me, is one I can only be immensely grateful for. Thank you again, team Sattvaya for holding space and with so much love and care 🤎 AHO!

Really enjoyed my time and experience. Was such a loving and comfortable environment and grew into a nice little family. I do miss the feeling I had during my time there. The music throughout the ceremonies were fantastic and listening back to it now does take me back there. During the ceremony I felt I learnt so much about myself and patterns of behaviour I have been running in my life. Whether I change these is something else but I have a much greater understanding of myself now. Thank you x

Wat een intens mooie ervaring! De begeleiding vond ik vanaf het begin (voorafgaand aan de ceremonie al) super goed. Hierdoor was ik erg gerustgesteld en kon ik mij helemaal aan het proces overgeven. Mijn intentie was 'heel mijn hart, heel mijn lichaam en kom thuis bij mezelf'. Eenmaal in de ceremonie merkte ik dat ik ontzettend veel aan het voelen was. Ik begreep dat de sleutel tot het helen van mijn hart en mijn lichaam was dat ik mijn gevoel moest doorvoelen. Ik realiseerde me dat ik in het dagelijks leven denk te voelen. Maar ondertussen wordt ik steeds afgeleid door werk, alcohol, sporten etc. Wat ik in de ceremonie meemaakte was pas echt voelen! Hoewel het een heel intens proces was, kijk ik er zo ontzettend positief op terug en dat komt echt door het team van Sattvaya. De kennis en kunde maar ook de liefde, het plezier en de humor die zij hebben heeft hiervoor gezorgd. En dan heb ik het nog niet gehad over de muziek die gemaakt wordt welke echt grandioos is. Er is ontzettend goed over nagedacht en draagt absoluut bij aan de totale beleving. Al met al een epische ervaring en voor herhaling vatbaar. Ik heb jullie in mijn hart gesloten lieve Ronald, Yoka, Arief, Marianna en Kim.

Liefs Eva

What a gift to myself! I enjoyed every second of this journey. The setting, the team, the other participants,... This weekend was a little heaven on earth. I gained so much insights and clarity. Thank you so much for your safe embrace and loving care.

An amazing team that delivers a great healing experience in the true ayahuasca tradition. During the retreat I felt safe and supported. After the retreat, I walked away with new insights, beliefs, and friendships.

Dear Sattvaya Team,

It was truly special to welcome my first Ayahuasca with you and this memory will last as a time full of love, extraordinary spiritual experiences and also challenges yet needed to gain inner wisdom and strength. You were there in every step of our journey with devotion and wonderful, almost unexpected caring. Thank you for this gift

It's hard to find the words, all participants drink the same tea but everyone has a wildy different experience. I got brought back to my childhood to re-experience some open wounds but being able see the pain with my adult eyes and wisdom. It wasn't easy to go through that experience but it was like a new light was shine upon it. The team helped me immensely through the though times.

I found a perfect place where I can profoundly heal my life stuff. Outside: beautiful nature. Inside: a lovely creative caring team that was there when I needed them. I never had that much firm clarity and could live it without looking for a external reaction. Already planed a next trip with you and Mama Aya.

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
