Rond het warme vuur
Daar zie ik jou graag
In de tijdloze ruimte
Leer ik jou kennen
Schijn jij jouw licht
Op de cirkel rondom het vuur

Next 5 day psilocybin mushroom retreat in the Nature Temple is April 17/21 2025. In these 5 days our general goal is to align you with your natural state of being. We will guide you all the way, from a decent preparation to a comprehensive integration. This retreat is designed to catalize life-changing experiences. With over 9 workshops for body, mind and soul, we provide a wonderful retreat to awaken your true potential at a phenomenal location.

We are dedicated to providing our guests the opportunity to benefit from the potential of the magic mushrooms to catalyse a life changing experience. For us it is not a job or a hobby, but a way of life. The main difference between us and other retreat centers is that we live at this place as well. You visit us as our personal guest, you are intemately involved in our off grid lifestyle and philosophy. You eat the veggies that we cultivate. so you can experience first-hand how it feels to live in closer connection to nature.

This retreat is for people who want to explore their consciousness and while doing that, who would like to spend some quality time with other people. People from all walks of life, different ages and nationalities.

What attracted you to come to the Nature Temple?
My friend Sascha Mayr insisted that I join him, he offered it as a gift. I was not so much afraid of taking psychedelics, as I’ve had some experiences before. But I was pretty nervous to leave my life behind for a week. I own a company in SEO and I think it was the very first time I was without internet for such a long time. Sonny convinced me by saying that taking some time off would probably improve my general well-being, which would improve my professional life. Together we checked different retreat centres, and Earth Awareness had very good reviews. Besides, the Nature Temple looked amazing: just to see that with our own eyes would be really cool!

We are back home! Mexico was very inspiring for us in many ways. Later we will surely share some more relevant photos and videos about this trip. For now, we just wanted to say HI...

Visually you are closed from other particiants, you have a private spot. Off course that's not the case in terms of sound. So if you know you are a notorious snorer, you might want to reconsider if this retreat is most suitable. And also if you are a very sensitive sleeper, be aware of the challange this may be. For most people earplugs are sufficient.

The 7 diameter geodesic dome-shaped vault at the green roof functions as a galactic clock through which you can watch the celestial constellations at night or see the trees moving in the wind during daytime.
The play of light that is created on the floor surface because the sun shines through the colored surfaces is just fantastic!
The Nature Temple is vertically oriented. This design ensures that the focus is not horizontal like in most buildings but our attention in drawn to the light.
Here we see the rainbow colours coming back again, reminding us that there is a treasure nearby..

The breathwork workshops are an integrational part of our 3 and 5 day retreats. We've talked to Pascal van Rees, who is our breathwork facilitator, to share about his workshops, because participants are usually really enthousiastic about it.

How did you come into contact with breathing techniques yourself?
About 6 years ago i was invited to join a breath-work session and after the tears, i felt peace and extra space. This was so profound i started doing this more often and started joining workshops/studies in various techniques. About two years ago i also followed a certified prana-yama program because i wanted to learn about the basics of breath-work.

What kind of breath-work do you offer during the retreats?
During the retreats i use a mix of strong dmt activating breathing, slow deep belly awareness breathing, hearth coherence breathing and conscious connected breathing.

What effect do such sessions have on the body and mind?
In general you become a much more centered/ stabilized and healthy person, physically, emotionally and mentally. Reduces stress and anxiety. Increases
oxygen supply to the brain, promoting mental clarity.

How does this help you during a mushroom ceremony?
It provides the participants with extra tools to use during the ceremony, especially when emotions come to the surface. It opens/clears blockages, offers
grounding and helps to stabilize emotions. It can deepen your connection with the mushroom medicine.

Can you also use these techniques during your integration process?
Yes definitely, and in various ways. When we do some breath practices during the day, we create a conscious moment, a moment to feel and be aware. This way we train our 'consciousness' muscle and become more conscious of our inner world. Slow and deep breathing, remember to breath deep into your belly/pelvic area.
Sometimes we gain new insights during the mushroom ceremony and want to integrate them in our daily life. This sometimes isn't easy and brings up certain emotions; fear, doubt, failure, anxiety, restlessness.

The techniques that can help us bring up insights, clarity and peace, which empowers and motivates us during integration, is using the deep connected breathing pattern as learned during the workshop.

What do you often hear afterwards from participants about this combination?
Many times people are blown away by the profound deep releases they experience, it definitely supports them to go through deep processes and ground them. In fact i would recommend these practices before, during and after a ceremony!

Dear Sarah, somewhere in this period you'll be giving bird. May the strength of the ceremonies be with you in the moments you'll need some support. May the songs you've shared here watch over your new born. May your giving birth to new life be the most sacred ceremony you've ever encountered. May this period be blessed for you and your family. Thanks for everything you share in this world.

We zijn van plan om een watertje aan te leggen bij de nieuwe slangen-bankjes. Een waterpartij met watervallen, mooie planten en kristallen. Een heerlijk plekje om te zitten, met prachtig uitzicht op de grote boom, de vernieuwde vuurplek en de NatuurTempel. We zijn spullen aan het verzamelen. Een leuk projectje om de plek nog weer wat completer te maken.

In the bustling chaos of modern life, where screens dominate our attention and concrete jungles stretch as far as the eye can see, many people yearn for a deeper connection with nature. One intriguing and increasingly discussed path to this reconnection is through the use of psilocybin truffles. These natural, psychedelic wonders have been revered for their transformative experiences, often described as a bridge to a more profound relationship with the natural world.

How psilocybin truffles can help you to reconnect with the natural world. How to built a solid relationship with nature.

A testimonial from Peter, received october 13 2024:
"Another beaultiful retreat in Teuge with Maya, Mark, Laura, Arend Jan, Ramona, Pascal, Judith and Ivo. All the workshop helped to prepare for the truffle ceremonies. All the facilitators were amazing. They were very mindful, helpful and non intrusive. The food was delicious again. The first cermony was with live music and the second one with a playlist. This was exactly the right balance for me. The fire in the temple helped me to focus and deal with difficult feelings, emotions and also gave a lot of joy in the end. The big tree outside was magnificient to watch and feel during the ceremonies. You can see the temple was built with so much care and detail. The participants were also amazing. I saw true strength and transformation in people. If you are searching for a save setting for a truffle ceremony I would invite you to “investigate” the retreats in this centre."
