About this Retreat
Hi, I’m Christian — a grounded and intuitive spaceholder who walks the path of transformation with deep respect for the ancient wisdom that came before us. My work is rooted in sacred plant traditions and breathwork practices that invite us to reconnect with what’s true, alive, and whole within.
Over the years I’ve worked with ayahuasca, psilohuasca, kambo, rapéh, and breathwork — each a powerful teacher in its own way. These sacred medicines open doors to deeper awareness, healing, and remembrance. I honor the indigenous traditions that have carried this knowledge for generations, while shaping it in a way that speaks to our Western hearts: grounded, safe, and accessible, yet always guided by respect and humility.
My way of holding space is calm and steady. I don’t try to lead or fix — I listen, feel, and respond to what arises. Sometimes that means silence, sometimes a word, a hand, or a look that reminds someone they are safe to let go. I trust in the intelligence of each person’s process and in the quiet wisdom that unfolds when we stop forcing and start allowing.
For me, ceremony doesn’t end when the music fades. Integration is an essential part of the journey — where the experience begins to weave itself into daily life. I believe true healing lies there: in the way we embody what we’ve seen, live what we’ve learned, and remember who we already are.
My name is Isabel.
I walk the path of remembrance — of coming home to the wisdom of the body, the whispers of nature, and the quiet knowing that lives within all of us.
For many years I worked in the corporate world, organizing, managing, and creating structure. But life had other plans. Through my own process of transformation — guided by the plants, by silence, by motherhood — I learned to trust a deeper intelligence that moves through all things.
Today, I hold space for others to reconnect with that same inner truth. In ceremony, I bring softness and presence. I listen — not only to words, but to energy, breath, and what wants to be seen. I believe healing happens in simplicity: in being seen, held, and allowed to unfold naturally.
With a background in social work, creative therapy, herbalism, and arts, I weave intuition with grounded care. I love creating beauty in the details — the atmosphere, the altar, the food — because every gesture can be a prayer.
Together with my partner Christian, I co-create So Alegria: a space of authenticity, deep respect for the plants, and the courage to meet yourself fully.
Details of this retreat
In an enchanting place surrounded by forest, just half an hour from Den Bosch, we open the space together for three days of stillness, healing, and connection. A moment away from the busyness of daily life — to land in nature and turn inward to your own journey.
Throughout the weekend, you’ll be held by the power of two profound plant ceremonies. The sacred plants we work with invite you to open your heart, release what no longer serves you, and reconnect with your true essence. Each ceremony takes place in a safe and loving setting, where you’re invited to be fully present with whatever arises.
Everything is taken care of — nourishing meals, drinks, a comfortable bed with fresh linen, and a warm atmosphere that allows you to completely unwind. You’ll sleep in one of two cozy shared rooms, each with six beds.
The location itself supports the healing process: a beautiful natural environment with a swimming pond, forest trails to retreat into, and a sauna for deep relaxation. A place to find silence — or connection with like-minded souls.
Beforehand, we take time for a personal intake to align with your journey. After the ceremonies, there is space for guidance, integration, and sharing, so that the insights you receive can truly take root in your daily life.
You’ll be surrounded by loving guidance and a small group of fellow travelers, offering space for personal attention, safety, and deep connection.
After signing up, you’ll receive an intake form by email. Once it’s completed, we’ll schedule a short call — either by phone or online — to connect personally and go over any questions. If everything feels aligned and there are no concerns regarding the contraindications, we’ll proceed with the payment.
Your safety and well-being are very important to us, which is why we take this extra care before confirming your spot. Once your registration is complete, we’ll warmly welcome you to the ceremony and the journey that awaits.
