Retreat Highlights
- THE NATURE TEMPLE is designed for ceremonial use, it functions as a compass and initiation center for truth-seekers. This beautiful organic roundhouse made from big logs, curly branches, clay and glass with a majestic floor, a geodesic dome on the green roof and a fire burning in the center. A place of initiation, for reflection on and reconnection with our origin and the greater whole. Make the most of your psilocybin journey and join a retreat at this phenomenal location.
- PERSONAL APPROACH
- We are dedicated to provide our guests the opportunity to benefit from the psilocybin’s potential to catalyse a life changing experience. For us it is not a job or a hobby, but a way of life. The main difference between us and other retreat centres is that we live at this place as well. You really visit us as our personal guest, you are truly involved in our off grid lifestyle and philosophy. You eat the veggies we cultivate, the artwork all around is home-made, so you can experience first-hand how it feels to live in closer connection to nature. Our guests often tell us this element is a contribution to the whole experience and surely a rare thing to find in Western Europe.
About this Retreat
Director of the organisation and artist of the Nature Temple, she is the care-taker of the holistic vision. Her experience in this type of journey-work is outstanding. Her quality lies in her empathic and bold approach. Her motherly, unjudgmental, supportive attitude and vibrant spirit makes people feel at ease quickly. She sings enchanting songs, plays various instruments and is a furious dancer. She is a mother of two grown children and an influencer on a sustainable lifestyle. With her guidance you can be sure that you are personally taken care for.
Laura has been connected to our centre for over 10 years and we really love her cheerful presence a lot. As a young girl she was very passionate about movement and dancing, she did the previous education of the ‘National Ballet’ and Tai Chi. After 8 years of training, she works as a certified ‘Critical Alignment Yoga’ (CAY) teacher and runs her own yoga-studio ‘YogaDus’ in Amsterdam. She teaches to all ages and all levels. CAY focusses on the alignment of the skeleton. This form of yoga helps to move freely and without stress, in collaboration with gravity and breathing exercises. She helps people to build up confidence towards the physical body, which stimulates the self-healing qualities of the body. Laura is also a meditation/visualisation guide. She has over 25 years of experience with psychedelics and visited her shamanic teacher in Ecuador several times. As a ceremonial facilitator she is utmost caring for the participants and has an eye for their basic needs. She is a team player, very strong in practical’s and always in a good mood.
Ramona is a warm and gentle spirit who is alround at the centre. You can find her in the kitchen as a ground facilitator or meet her taking care for the guests during the ceremonies as a ceremonial facilitator. At our retreats she is offen taking care for relaxing chair massages, which is a blessing for all participants and really compliments the retreats. If you are in need of some relaxation in the body’s muscles or a soothing touch to realine your body’s energy field, her hands will find the way. Her companie is called The Art of Relaxation and Creation. At her practice in Amstelveen she offers massages, coching & workshops. She also works over 10 years as a massage therapist in companies. As passionate as she is for giving massages, she also loves to cook delicious food. Specialty: homemade banana-bread! You will find Ramona also in our kitchen making great soups and salads.
Sarah contributes to the Earth Awareness since the beginning of 2021 with her music and presence.
From angelic to primal, she weaves a powerful web of sound with her voice and instruments to
support you on your healing journey within.
As ‘Sarah Sounds’, she shares her songs and improvisations during ceremonial concerts and other events. She also offers Singing Circles and Voice Expression workshops.
As birthkeeper ‘Wonders of Life Doula’, she gives extensive emotional and practical support around and during childbirth. She also weaves music and birth-work together, offering opening- and closing ceremonies to honour and celebrate transitions in life, such as childbirth, becoming a parent, but also loss and grieve. For Sarah, life is ceremony. She’s a lover of silence and subtlety, but also of truthful raw expression.
She aspires to hold earth as sacred, to integrate and embody our divine human nature. Both her music and birth work are about creating safe spaces where people feel welcome, just as they are, and invited to connect to themselves, each other and all life more deeply.
Details of this retreat
In the safe nest of the women's circle you forget time and leave your daily routines far behind. Sensitive and powerful songs are sung and musical instruments are played around the fire, moments of peace and exuberance alternate in waves. While your perception of what is real begins to change and you start to move outside the world of logic, the magical mushrooms skillfully bypass all your defense mechanisms, so that you can think and feel completely 'out of the box'. It is time to let go of what was, to accept what is now and to welcome what is to come.
Quality Time
No obligations, expectations or tasks for you for a while. Simply the space to be with yourself and enjoy each other. Because now that time stands still for a moment and you can perceive clearly because you become highly sensitive with all your senses at the same time, you are at your most fertile. Life insights about how you relate to yourself, to your loved ones and to the bigger picture are much easier to make themselves known. With the right attitude, you can find peace on your winding or elongated life path and become motivated for what lies ahead. During the truffle ceremony for women in the Nature Temple, you will be very well cared for and you will be given delicious healthy food. Most women thrive on it, even need it regularly to feel good about themselves. Today, we call that self-care, taking care of your body, your emotions and your spirit.
A women's group - The party of recognition
All women share more or less the same intention; to get more satisfaction out of your life. In the trust and safety of the group, you will find recognition and often beautiful friendships arise from such shared experiences. The group encourages you to develop your talents and take on your challenges. Despite the fact that every truffle trip is a personal matter, there is also a real sense of togetherness. Every group and every day brings about its own dynamic. The ceremonial structure allows for a playful and intuitive course in which you are welcome to contribute.
Since women from different countries will probably participate, we speak English. It is therefore important that you can understand English well. Do you have difficulty following English conversations? Then this retreat is not suitable for you. Are you not that skilled in speaking? That is not a problem, we can assist you with the translation.
Facilitated by Maya van Oosterhout
Since 2009 she has facilitated and facilitated women's circles, created sisterhood and encouraged women to live their dreams. Maya started working with individual sessions in nature with magic truffles about 30 years ago. As lead facilitator she knows how to travel the inner realms, she has already guided more than a thousand people through a psilocybin experience. During the inner journey, Maya feels very well where someone is and knows how to anticipate this. As the initiator of Earth Awareness and the Nature Temple, she organizes, facilitates and guides the entire spectrum of the off-grid center. She is clearly at home on the unbeaten paths and has managed to manifest a universal dream in this reality. She is the mother of 2 children, who now live on their own. But of course she is always supported by her fantastic, caring female team. Together we will take good care of you.
The Nature Temple – a special natural location
The Nature Temple, a place that was built with undivided attention. It is a place of hope, but also of beauty, a generator of creative power, of zest for life. A place where dreams have become reality. When you come to Earth Awareness, you really step into another world. Creativity is in full swing in this exceptionally wooded village, where monumental bunker farms appear here and there between the colossal trees with an exceptional number of whistling birds. It is an impressive sight, a lively decor with a fascinating story. The gem of the whole is a breathtaking work of art, the Nature Temple. The Nature Temple is a 140 m2 round work of art, organically built with thick trunks and winding branches, colored glass and clay. The majestic wooden floor with a stylish fire pit in the center give the Nature Temple class. The 7 diameter dome, a geodesic dome-shaped vault in the center of the roof, is a galactic clock at night through which you can observe the celestial zodiac. During the day, the sunlight comes in and you see the crowns of the surrounding cathedral-like trees.

An unforgettable life-changing experience
I went to a five days psilocybin facilitated retreat at the Nature Temple and the setting were just perfect: not only the place is stunning but I also felt I was in a very safe and loving environment.
The insights brought by the immersive journeys are still with me and have changed the way I feel connection with everything and hence the way I experience every single moment: every breath, every thought, every interaction, every situation.
I feel deep gratitude towards the organisers Maya and Mark, for the amazing ceremonies, their profound talks, and their expert care. And I feel gratitude also towards the facilitators and coaches that were present: Laura, Sarah, Pascal, Ramona, Arend Jan - I so thoroughly loved their classes, wisdom, cuisine and music. And also I am grateful to all the participants, for their openness, their courage, their humour and their beautiful sharing. It has been an unforgettable life-changing experience.
