With over 15 years of experience and close to 100 ceremonies, I walk this path with deep reverence for the healing power of sacred plant medicines. As a facilitator, I hold space rooted in the belief that we are the medicine - each of us carries the wisdom and capacity to heal from within.
Ayahuasca, San Pedro, and psilocybin are not cures, but powerful guides helping us reconnect with our truth, our wholeness, and our path home.
In every ceremony, I honor the unique journey of each participant, offering guidance, safety, and presence without imposing direction. My role is to support that listening, to help create the conditions where real transformation can emerge.
This work is not about escape or transcendence, It’s a return to authenticity.
I have been trained by ICEERS on harm reduction - a training to improve safety during and after psychededelics ceremonies
My journey with Ayahuasca began in 2014, during a time when my life had come to a standstill. I was searching for deep transformation and this beautiful medicine set that process in motion. What followed were powerful ceremonies that helped me release pain, reconnect with my body, gain insight into old patterns, and experience expanded states of consciousness, unity, and love. I rediscovered my joy for life, which became the foundation for further growth. Life can still be challenging, and I still stumble at times - but I now stand on solid ground and live from connection and gratitude.
I have participated in over 50 ceremonies and completed the Ayahuasca facilitator training at Proceswerk in Groningen (2018). I have also extensively explored magic mushrooms, truffles, San Pedro, LSD, and Bufo - each offering its own unique experience and wisdom. Alongside guiding sessions, I work as a breathwork coach and massage therapist, and I’m currently in the final year of a 3-year training in systemic work, Transactional Analysis, and NLP.
It’s deeply humbling and fulfilling to create safe spaces for people to surrender to these powerful, magical medicines, and to walk alongside them for a short stretch of their life path. I believe each journey with the plants contributes to a more loving world.
Details of this retreat
Through the sacred and intentional use of 5-MeO-DMT (synthetic bufo), we guide profound journeys into pure consciousness, dissolving the ego and revealing boundless unity.
5-MeO-DMT is one of the most powerful psychoactive substances known. It occurs naturally in several plants and in the venom of the Bufo Alvarius toad, and can also be produced synthetically. Unlike classical psychedelics such as psilocybin or LSD, 5-MeO-DMT does not typically produce vivid visual experiences. Instead, it is known for inducing an intense, short-lasting state of ego dissolution - a profound sense of merging with everything, often described as an experience of pure consciousness or boundlessness. The effects come on within seconds and usually last between 10 to 20 minutes. Because of its extraordinary intensity, 5-MeO-DMT should be approached with great care, proper preparation, and experienced guidance.
in addition to 2 full dose sessions for each participant, we offer the experience of a 5-MeO-DMT vape pen: different from the glass pipe and lower dosage. This is a lighter experience and can help you deepen/lengthen the earlier session.
Current research into 5-MeO-DMT highlights its potential to treat mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, ptsd and addictions.
During this 2-day retreat you'll get to experience 2 full 5-MeO-DMT sessions, 2 5-MeO-DMT vape sessions and a holotropic breath session.
The retreat will be guided by 2 experienced facilitators at a stunning retreat center close to Deventer, NL. Overnight stay is in shared 2-person bedrooms.
We are experienced guides who ensure a safe space and loving support so that you can surrender to what appears in your journey. We facilitate magical/spiritual experiences grounded in reality. We advise and support, hold the space, provide the set and the setting. The journey inward you make yourself. We trust in the power of the plant medicines and in everyone’s self-healing ability. Of course we are there if you need us before, during and after the journey.
We provide a thorough intake procedure inc intake video call and a followup call a week after the session.

Thank you!
We had a private session (as a couple) with Sanne, where we felt safe and taken care of. It was the first such experience for us and we were glad we chose her as our guide into the unknown. She brought good energy which was super important for us. The good thing is that you get to talk to her first before making a final decision to go ahead. Follow-up session was also a nice closure, with tips on how to progress further on our journey.
Thank you, Sanne!

Een warme en onvergetelijke ervaring
Ik heb een prachtige retraite gevolgd bij coming Home. De locatie ligt in een serene, natuurlijke omgeving die meteen rust brengt. Het huis zelf voelt warm en uitnodigend aan, alsof je bij vrienden thuiskomt.
De begeleiding was bijzonder professioneel én enorm hartelijk. De begeleiders zijn lieve, aangename mensen die je op een veilige en zorgzame manier door het hele proces leiden.
Een absolute meerwaarde waren de zalige percussies tijdens de ceremonies die zorgden voor diepgang, verbinding en een heerlijke sfeer. En als kers op de taart was er de open haard, die alles nog gezelliger maakte.
Kortom: een retraite die ik met heel mijn hart kan aanraden. Een plek om écht tot jezelf te komen.

Overall Good Experience
I came to the Coming Home retreat center the day before the session and it is a beautiful place in the countryside before Amsterdam.
The surroundings are very nice it is like your in a Jungle and Joost the owner has build a spectacular retreat area.
The preparation of the ceremony was fine with good information.
Sanne the facilitator is a fantastic person very present and makes you feel calm.
we were 6 participants with totally different backgrounds and we also had very different experiences during the session. But I think we all enjoyed the place, food and hosts. Thanks Sanne and Joost for your hospitality.
I recommend Coming Home to you that want an overall good experience in a Group settings.
It was my first session and i don't want to change anything.
As a Personally note I think that my next ceremony will be individual.
I easily get uneasy when i go deep in my emotions and the noise and outburst during the session from the other participant was not the best cocktail for me during the part of the session where I felt most voundable.
