Ancient Mother
Retreats
A few days at Motherland
Come for a few days to an old farmhouse in Drenthe, and see what happens when there is time.
The ceremonies are the heart of it, but there are also long breakfasts, quiet corners, a garden that keeps going and a small group of people who were strangers on Thursday afternoon and may not feel like it by Sunday.
Our groups are small, usually between 7 and 12 people. Everyone first goes through an intake and screening, and after every retreat there is an individual integration conversation.
Three days · Friday to Sunday
3-Day Ayahuasca Retreat
Two Ayahuasca ceremonies on Friday and Saturday evening, with a day in between to rest, talk and let the first experience settle. The second night often feels different simply because you already know something of what it is like.

4-Day Ayahuasca & Huachuma Retreat

Which one?
Neither is the “better” or more advanced retreat. They are simply different ways of spending these days.
The 3-day retreat is compact: two Ayahuasca ceremonies, with a day in between to rest and let the first experience settle.
The 4-day retreat gives the experience more room and adds a daytime Huachuma ceremony after the two Ayahuasca ceremonies. That creates a different rhythm: two nights that often feel more inward, followed by a day that can feel more outward, social and connected to the world around you.
Three days · Private, planned together
Couples Retreat
A private retreat for two, guided by Margriet and Marnix. You each have your own experience, in the same room. What arises may have a lot to do with your relationship, or very little.
