Margriet’s story

What always moves me is seeing people experience something so all-embracing, time and time again. The same miracle, over and over.

For a long time, I wondered what I was going to do in this world. After feeling misled and searching in the wrong places for years, my first real step in the right direction was training in Kashmir Yoga and Rebalancing.

I found myself there again.

Ayahuasca added another substantial layer. During my first journey, I saw that the best way to reach people is not with my words, but with my silence.

My second journey showed me what I still had to overcome to make that possible. Stopping smoking weed, for example, became a prerequisite for me. If I wanted to find true unity, I felt I had to purify myself.

In a later journey, I was shown that the preconditions had been met. I was ready to take the next step on my path.

For a deeper understanding of the use and power of Ayahuasca, I travelled to the Amazonian jungle in Peru to learn within the Shipibo tradition. During those intense and challenging months, I entered a dieta and formed a bond with the precious master plant Noya Rao, the Queen of the Jungle, with whom I still experience a loving and guiding relationship.

I received my Don, sung by Maestro Don Enrique Lopez, and was traditionally initiated as an Ayahuascera.

Since then, I have guided more than 3,000 people in Ayahuasca ceremonies. Through all those journeys, I have experienced again and again that my presence can offer safety for whatever needs to be experienced.

And I am still moved by what I witness: people touching something much larger than the stories they arrived with, sometimes in ways none of us could have imagined beforehand.

The same miracle, again and again.
