Next Ayahuasca Immersion – Febraury 7th – 9th, 2015
Ayahuasca is a master plant teacher and healer. There is a relationship that unfolds with her and this relationship deepens the more the two of you meet. Although one ceremony can be extremely beneficial, bringing tremendous healing and awareness, it can be difficult to fully let go and surrender to the medicine especially if this is your first time with her. The immersion is an opportunity to give yourself more time to relax into yourself and the space and let go of any internal fear or resistance so the medicine can fully share her gifts with you.
We recommend the Immersion if…
- This is your first ayahuasca ceremony.
- Your reason for attending is emotional healing.
- You do not have a daily contemplative practice such as yoga/meditation.
- You eat meat, fried and/or processed foods regularly.
- You seek a deeper, retreat type experience.
The Ayahuasca Immersions are held in a quiet town in the south of Holland and take place in a cabin deep in a beautiful forrest. (see pictures above). We only invite a maximum of 5 participants to create an intimate and personal experience. You will want to arrive at a given location (once you are confirmed) in the south of Holland at 2pm the day the Immersion begins. We will then drive a short distance to the cabin where the immersion will take place.
Note: Due to the limited number of particpants, we ask that you only register if you fully intend to be there.
We understand the importance of creating a safe, comfortable and loving space, and put every effort to make sure this is provided. All Immersions are led by Brother, having years of experience working with Ayahuasca while living in the sacred valley of Peru. He is well versed in dealing with situations and energies that arise within ceremony and facilitating retreats that support the healing and awakening process. While Brother leads the Immersion, his partner Inge, Jules and Harrie will also support in order to provide a safe environment for you to have your journey.
The ceremonies will be guided by mantras & medicine songs from different traditions, icaros from the jungle, meditations and silence; all with the intention of personal healing, awakening & transformation. The medicine comes from a family of brew makers in the Peruvian jungle. Brother’s medicine tribe has been getting it from this family for over 14 years. It is prayer filled Ayahuasca with only the vine and chakruna. Nothing else mixed in. Along with Ayahuasca, rapé, another sacred medicine from the Amazon will also be offered throughout the Immersion.
If you are traveling from abroad, you will want to fly into Amsterdam or Eindhoven airports. If coming in from Amsterdam, you will take the train to the Eindhoven train station where we will arrange to have you picked up from there. If you would like to arrive early or stay a day or two more, you can go here to search for a Bed & Breakfast in Amsterdam or Eindhoven.
