Best Life Experience
I had the best experience, accommodation, and hospitality in the Ancient mother center. Margriet was very caring and loving and made the journey smooth and safe. I highly recommend this center for anyone who is interested in such inner journeys 🙏🙏❤️❤️

Wonderful experience in a peaceful setting with experienced and loving guides
Margriet, Harold and Elisabeth were wonderful. The houseboot is a beautiful and peaceful surrounding for a first Ayahuasca experience and it felt very safe to have 3 guides available for 4-5 participants. We were all looked after in the best possible way and I would recommend them to anyone :) Thank you so much for all the love and kindness you give! <3

Great Ceremony
Despite a slight miscommunication regarding pickup , my experience with Susan and Harold was nothing short of extraordinary. Their deep knowledge and compassionate guidance through each session led to profound insights and personal breakthroughs. The initial hiccup quickly faded as their professionalism and genuine care paved the way for a truly trans-formative journey. I highly recommend these sessions for anyone seeking meaningful personal growth.
Despite of miscommunication, giving 5 stars because of kind and professional crew.

A life-changing experience!
I trusted my intuition when booking this important retreat with Margriet, just based on her website - and it was everything I could have wanted! When I was there, it felt that my whole life had been working towards this weekend. So many moments and insights that will stick with me! So much love and genuine interest in my wellbeing. I felt safe and protected, will always go again.

Ayahuasca Experience
This was my first time to try Ayahuasca, i planned for this for long time and i was really happy to have done it with Margriet and Martjin at Ancient Mother
They both are wonderful creatures, they know alot about what they are doing and doing it with them as i later found was really a good choice.
The experience in general and from the beginning till the end was amazing and satisfying
I recommend anyone who wants to try the Ayahuasca to consider Ancient Mother
Thank you Marg and Martjin
