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.
In my past I have encountered many challenges, but with the help of plant medicine combined with my resilient spirit, I managed to turn my life around: today, little Senta and big Senta walk side by side, in harmony.
I treat the people around me with a lot of love and attention. I am playful, passionate and attentive, in full acceptance of the challenges of life. I love, laugh and dance through life.
I live by the spirit of Pippi Longstocking: never giving up, staying curious, being wild, and sprinkling a little wonderful everywhere I go! 💫
Details of this retreat
The hallucinogenic substance mescaline can be found in Peyote and San Pedro cacti. San Pedro, also known as Huachuma, is a cactus from the Andes mountains in South America. It contains mescaline. A journey with this beautiful medicine can open your heart and offer deep and meaningful insights. Mescaline changes the way you experience your thoughts, your identity, the perception of your senses, your environment and time. You may start to see, smell and hear colours, smells and music more intensely and in a different way, feel intense bodily sensations and experience hallucinations or visions. Sometimes the experience is so magical and strong that the sense of self falls away and you feel like you are merging with 'all that exists’. Mescaline is also known to enhance problem-solving abilities, make one more creative and alleviate mental issues such as anxiety, addiction and trauma.
A journey with this psychedelic medicine takes approximately 10 hours. It teaches with loving strength, it may guide you through:
- Emotional release and forgiveness
- Profound connection to nature and the divine
- Insight into relationships, purpose, and life direction
- A deep sense of joy, presence, and unity
For this session we work with the synthetic substance: The potency is consistent, which makes dosing easier - but more importantly, it hardly has any negative physical side effects that some people experience with San Pedro.
Experienced and dedicated guides create a safe and loving space where you are deeply held, and everything is welcome. The process starts with an intake video call where we help you prepare mentally, clarify your intention, and offer integration support after the retreat.

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.
