Retreat Highlights

A warm and safe space for deep healing.
From the moment you arrive at Motherland, we offer a gentle and grounded environment where you can fully surrender to the experience. Through music, song, and attentive presence, we help set the tone for your inner journey.
We’re here to support you when things get intense, to hold space when emotions rise, and to guide you when needed. But above all, we trust the intelligence of the plant medicine. Our role is not to interfere, but to accompany — with care, with trust, and with deep respect for the healing that wants to unfold.

Margriet

What always moves me is the all-embracing insights I have seen people experience time and time again. The same miracle again and again! For a long time I have wondered what I will do in this world. After being misled for years, my first step was in the right direction towards the Kashmir Yoga and Rebalancing training. I found myself there again! Ayahuasca added another substantial layer to that. During my first journey, I saw that the best way to reach people is not with my words - but with my silence. The second journey taught me what I had to overcome to make this happen. Stopping my weed smoking for example, was a prerequisite because if I want to find true unity, I had to purify myself. In my last journey, I was shown that all the preconditions were met - I was able to get started with the next step in my path. In the meantime, I have led and guided more than 200 Ayahuasca journeys and experienced that my presence offers safety for what needs to be experienced. What always moves me is the all-embracing insights I have seen people experience time and time again. The same miracle again and again!

Marnix

My name is Marnix, I'm your devoted guide and (integration) coach. After working in advertising and the music industry for many years, I overcame my addictions and anxiety, and fell in love with non-duality and plant medicine. My personal journeys with Mother Aya have been profoundly invigorating and powerful, and I just love being with people who are courageous enough to take this specific journey. I cherish the moments as a guide where I can provide safety and love and inspired words, so please feel welcome and join us at Ancient Mother!

Details of this retreat

Our journey begins on Friday afternoon. We kindly ask all participants to arrive by 1 PM.

Held in a serene and intimate location surrounded by nature, the retreat offers a safe and nurturing space to reconnect with yourself and each other. Upon arrival, we welcome you to our cozy farm. With a warm cup of tea in hand, we’ll begin with a gentle introduction round. There will be space to settle in, ask questions, and change into something comfortable before the ceremony begins.

On Friday evening, we’ll hold the first Ayahuasca ceremony, which usually lasts around six hours. Afterward, we’ll offer a fresh fruit salad followed by a nourishing, home-cooked vegetarian meal. The second ceremony takes place on Saturday. Sunday is dedicated to integration: sharing what has been seen and felt, walking in nature, and connecting by the fire.

Before the retreat, we’ll send you detailed travel instructions. If needed, we’re happy to pick you up from Assen Station.

Marnix is an incredible person

Marnix is an incredible person who truly made a difference during some of my most difficult moments. When I was struggling and going through a very challenging time, he was always there to support me with kindness, patience, and understanding. His encouraging words and calm presence gave me strength when I needed it the most.

Marnix has a natural ability to make you feel seen, heard, and cared for. He doesn’t just listen—he truly understands and guides you with compassion and wisdom. I am deeply grateful for all the help and support he gave me, and I can honestly say that he played an important role in my healing journey.

He is not only caring and supportive but also a genuinely good-hearted person. I feel very fortunate to have had him by my side during this time.

Lovely Soul

Magriet is an extraordinary person and an exceptional guide. From the very first moment, I felt completely safe and cared for in her presence. She radiates warmth, love, and a deep sense of compassion that immediately puts you at ease. Her experience and knowledge are truly remarkable—she leads the retreat with such grace, wisdom, and understanding that you can feel you are in the hands of someone who genuinely cares for your healing and transformation.

Her loving nature and calm energy made me feel deeply supported and understood every step of the way.

She is not only an experienced facilitator but also a truly beautiful soul, full of kindness and light. I am endlessly grateful for everything she has shared and for the love she puts into her work. Magriet is someone who truly changes lives, and I feel blessed to have met her.

Life Changing

Attending this Ayahuasca retreat has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. From the very moment I arrived, I felt safe, supported, and truly cared for. The facilitators were incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and attentive, guiding me through every step of the journey with a deep sense of respect and understanding.

The environment was warm, welcoming, and filled with positive energy, allowing me to fully surrender and trust the process. I felt that I was in the best hands possible—every detail was thoughtfully arranged to ensure comfort, safety, and healing.

The ceremonies themselves were profoundly powerful, helping me uncover parts of myself I didn’t even know existed and allowing me to heal on levels I never thought possible. It was a life-changing experience that has given me a new perspective, a deep sense of inner peace, and clarity about my path forward.

I am endlessly grateful for the care, love, and wisdom I received during my time here. I would wholeheartedly recommend this retreat to anyone who is seeking true transformation and a deeper connection with themselves.

Healing with loving kindness

There are places we visit, and there are places that change us.
Ancient Mother is the latter—a sacred space cradled in nature, where time slows, the soul opens, and healing begins.

From the very first moment, I felt held—not just by the forest, the fire, or the silence—but by the extraordinary guides who walk this path with such devotion. Margriet, Marnix, and Emmeline are not facilitators; they are guardians of the unseen, midwives of the spirit. Their care runs deep, their presence unwavering. They don’t simply guide—they accompany. Through every layer of the journey, they are right there: gentle, attuned, and always—always—full of heart.

The plant medicine is powerful. But it’s the way it’s held that makes the difference—and here, it is held with reverence, integrity, and love.

Each meal was a gift: nourishing, vibrant, intentional—prepared as if food, too, could be ceremony. And perhaps it is.

And the setting… what words can describe it? Birds, trees, flowers, grass beneath your feet—it feels as though nature itself is conspiring to heal you.

If you are called to this work, let Ancient Mother be the place. You will not walk alone.

You will be witnessed.
You will be loved.

Thank you ancient mother. A million times.
