Summary

In a small group, within a safe, sacred psychotherapeutic AND shamanic setting, you are invited to use "magic truffles" to dive into your own inner worlds:
Your intentions might include:
– transforming old wounds, heartache, trauma, and/or inherited burdens
– Setting depression, burnout, fears, addictions, and compulsions on the path to healing
– Personal growth and the search for inner guidance through Spirit
– Connecting with inner archetypes and qualities waiting to unfold in your life
– Connecting with the inner child
– Self-love and basic trust
– Letting go of limiting beliefs and thought patterns (such as self-sabotage, etc.) and rewiring and reprogramming your inner alignment
– Clarity and releasing blockages related to your physical health (symptoms, illnesses)
– Connecting with your spiritual core, uniting spirit and matter, heart and mind (coming home to your body)

The weekend, from Friday through Sunday afternoon, includes a preparation phase, the sacred ceremony, a sharing circle, and an integration phase. (Tools: meditation, sound, breathwork, and bodywork). Together, we will create a safe space and framework in which you will have your own, individual experience with the sacred and intelligent medicine of the mushroom spirit, supported by me (alternative practitioner for psychotherapy) and the collective of the group. Our seminar room is located on a farm surrounded by woods and fields in a nature reserve near the German border in 7245 Laren, Netherlands.

Before booking, we should have a phone conversation to answer questions, clarify any contraindications, and see if we both feel a mutual “yes” for this journey.

The accommodation was great, we were always well-fed, and the ceremony was wonderfully accompanied by Julia and Mariska. We were well taken care of. Our group also matched perfectly; we all felt very comfortable.

The retreat was fantastic and absolutely enriching. Everything was perfect, from the preparation, through the execution, to the follow-up offers. I felt incredibly well cared for and supported. There was super helpful input provided, as well as great preparation and follow-up. It was definitely the right decision to book the retreat with Julia, and I can absolutely recommend it.

It was an extraordinary and impressive experience that will resonate with me for a long time. I came to learn how to cope with the deep sorrow of losing my late husband. The mushroom retreat helped to soften the sharpness of my grief; it is still there - how could it be otherwise - but it is more bearable, like with a soft focus… In addition, there are the very touching human encounters. It is a shared experience that creates great closeness. Thank you, Julia, for creating this wonderful framework.

The journey was a very special experience that I would not want to miss. The preparation for the ceremony, including theory, clarification of intentions, meditation, and breathing exercises, was very comprehensive and, in a positive sense, intense, and the needs and topics of the participants were lovingly addressed. I felt well taken care of, supported, and accompanied at all times - especially when it became challenging. The beautiful accommodation and great catering also contributed to the comfortable atmosphere that was felt from arrival to departure. Thank you for allowing me to be part of this group.🍄🙏

"The journey to yourself" was for me much more than a retreat – it was a profound, healing process in a protected and yet powerful framework. From the very first minute, the atmosphere was filled with mindfulness, warmth, and genuine presence. Every place, every detail was lovingly designed and contributed to my feeling safe and welcomed. The therapeutic-shamanic guidance was exceptionally professional, empathetic, and clear. The retreat leadership guided us through all phases with great competence, experience, and heart – both in the preparation and during the ceremonies and integration. I felt seen, held, and supported at all times. The truffle experience itself was deeply healing. It brought old themes to the surface, created inner clarity, and showed me a new, powerful vision of my calling. These insights have a lasting impact and feel coherent and transformative. The group was also a gift: open, respectful, and connected. The exchange was honest and nourishing – a space where genuine encounters were possible. For me, this retreat was perfectly organized, profound, and transformative. A clear recommendation for anyone who truly wants to meet themselves and experience healing on a deep level.
