WHAT
A retreat with 3 plant medicine ceremonies to cleanse and raise our consciousness, in the North of Holland.
BY WHOM
The plant are guided by Yama Voorhorst and Hans Karssen. They will transmit energy and healing through the songs (icaros*), limpias (healings), music and sounds. (*Icaros are shamanic songs that call upon the plants and other spirits to help cleanse and heal our bodies and souls.)
“While the Sacred Medicine is entering your body, you hear soft breathing sounds, humming, whistling… enchanting rhythms… rustling leaves … subtle sparkling tingling seeds… icaros calling upon the maestros and spirits… heart-opening voices… the chacapa… the sun gong… wind chimes…. singing bowls and bells… the magic mulity-layered voices of the deep didgeridoo… Yama and Hans bring the sounds and vibration of the jungle with its many helpers and in every cell in you the Universe starts opening up, showing you what you need to see…”

* CANCELATION POLICY
Our intention is to be as fair as possible to all concerned. The organization of these ceremonies involves the commitment of a lot of people in the crew and the reservation of the retreat spot.

You still you will have to pay the €50,- registration and organization fee.
PREPARATION
In the weeks before the ceremony you will get information (by email) with guidelines for a special diet that cleanses your body, to prepare yourself for receiving the plant medicine. So that when you drink the medicine and she makes you purge, it is not your ‘toxic’ body that makes you sick, but the medicine helping you to let go of all the old patterns that don’t serve you anymore. Our maestro says it this way: “If you invite your Mother to your house, you don’t invite her in a big mess. You show respect by cleaning up and then invite her in your temple”. Clean up before you invite her.

ABOUT YAMA & HANS
Yama and Hans bring Shamanic Sound & Plant Medicine Ceremonies, Healing Sound Concerts and private Tantra/Sound Healing Sessions. In February-March 2017 they made a deeply inspiring journey into the Peruvian Amazone to be One with the jungle. Working with sacred plant medicine and connecting deeply with the plant spirits, they got deep insights into the ancient power and knowledge of the plants and animals and all the beautiful beings that came along on their colourful journey. In this realm of high consciousness and full potential they were initiated as a gifted Medicine Couple with the profound task to translate this priceless knowledge into sounds and touch in their work at home.
DEVA YAMA VOORHORST
Yama’s teachings and transmissions are based on her fully embodied experience in healing herself in different sacred traditions, lineage teachings and initiations, the most profound ones being the Kaula Heart of All, her Tantric Family, the Plant Masters in the Amazonian jungle and the ancient healing ways of the indigenous Paqo’s in the Andean mountains.
By overcoming several ‘uncurable’ diseases, she deeply connected with nature and all of creation, finding herself on an ancient shamanic path, having access to universal spiritual wisdom and being able to transmit these transcendental energies into this world. Yama brings hidden (but not secret) ancient healing tools that (re)activate the deep yet often forgotten power within you. Tools to clear the past, release toxic emotions, open your energetic pathways, activate your sacred sensual self, bring balance into your relationships and harness your creative potential.
Yama has the gift to reawaken and empower you to become aware of your intuitive voice, free your energies by connecting with the unique pure you and unlock your potent inner source for creativity, spiritual growth and transformation.
ZELDAY KARSSEN
While today’s time rumbles forward as an express train, Zelday ( Hans Karssen ) embarked on a journey back in time with an instrument that has its origin in the Aboriginal clans of Northern Australia. This versatile instrument deeply enriches his life in a spiritual as well as in a physically way.
Traveling for a long time in its country of origin to taste the sand of the land, Zelday gained valuable knowledge to produce his own homemade didgeridoos and through the years he created a big collection of didges made from different kind of woods, in addition to original eucalyptus species. In the 15 years that Zelday mainly played the didgeridoo, he gained many influences and teachings, so his music styles vary widely from percussive, dance and funky grooves to deeply meditative.
After some thorough transformation work, i.a. with sacred plant medicine from the Amazon, the movement towards Sound Healing sessions and ceremonies (re)occured, besides his musical projects. This healing work is about a deep rememberance of our actual human existence, a universal consciousness, our collective and individual inspiration from which everyone and everything is built. WIth sound as his tool, he is able to share from this space of awareness, translating the high states of pure consciousness that he finds there into vibrations, using the Sun Gong, singing bowls, – bars, chimes, his guitar and more in addition to his didges.
We welcome you from a deep space of Consciousness and Love, Yama & Zelday ♡
