Magic Sacred Plants Journey | Heuvelrug National Park | Holland | 4 days

Sacred Plants show us our true nature and also the mask or personality we had to build up in our childhood in order to maintain the pseudo-connection with our caretakers.

This mask, personality or role was essential and life-saving during our childhood and necessary for our survival. We had to suppress our feelings, certain qualities and also the pain related to our self-betrayal because it would have been unbearable to constantly face it. Very few caretakers love their children unconditionally and accept all their traits.

So we had to suppress everything that was not welcomed and adopt qualities that pleased our caretakers. Which seemingly became ours but actually didn’t.  Since most of us didn’t feel neither physically nor emotionally held we turned to our mind for support to feel comforted and developed a close relationship with it. Our mind’s main purpose is to keep us safe and to distract us from our emotional pain that seems life-threatening.

Unfortunately that creates a lot of suffering since it prevents us from connecting authentically to ourselves and others. We have lost touch with our body, our feelings and our inner guidance system like intuition, inspiration, gut feeling and heart intelligence and believe that we can solve and grasp everything with the mind. Connection to ourselves and others on an inauthentic mental level is completely impossible and therefore we indulge in compensation strategies and addictions like consume, power, recognition, overeating, drugs, alcohol, money and relationships in order to fill our insatiable inner void which can never be filled with anything from the outside world.

The Sacred Plants can show us how easy it can be to be happy …

What we will do and what will happen

The Just Pure Being – Nature Retreats are a Transformational Space where we enter a world most of us might not be familiar with. We will have long walks out in Nature at the most beautiful spots on our planet. Please see details in the program below! At the same time the invitation is to show interest and curiosity about the other participants’ struggles and challenges without wanting to fix, heal and repair. No Smart-Assery or Assholery with supposedly knowledgeable or wise comments, advice or solutions in order to put ourselves in the foreground and to compensate for feelings of inadequacy and shame so we can feel important, valuable and useful ;-). We can find out and check our assumptions about ourselves, others and the world toward us. We can enter the “Hot Seat” or “Circle of Wisdom” with a life topic to tell the story self-responsibly with focus on our emotions and how we feel about it. The group will be curious and interested in inquiring in order to get the whole picture and explore the core of our being. And again without trying to fix, repair or heal. No solutions, advice or comments unless the person in focus wishes so. An unique opportunity to reconnect with our own Inner Wisdom because we don’t get the message that there is something wrong with us and that we can’t do it on our own.

What we believe ourselves to be is a mental construct. An illusion. A thought-based identity. I hides behind believes, emotions, projections, coping mechanisms and survival strategies because we are not aware of all that or because we keep all of it secret and hidden. Therefore we don’t have the opportunity to find out that most of it is not true. When we have the courage to disclose what we have been hiding for all our lives a new door opens. Especially if it feels live-threatening and like as if we were being annihilated. Then the illusion loses its grip.

The Language of Connection explores what’s here and invites, welcomes and acknowledges everything that is hidden and unconscious and creates a fertile soil for Openness, Honesty and Vulnerability where everything is met with Curiosity, Humility and Compassion.

Transformation happens when we disclose and share what we usually want to keep secret and hide. When we feel seen, heard and held and our feelings and pain are acknowledged and validated a Shift happens. And we have the opportunity to find out that most of our beliefs and projections are not true which opens a new door.

Enjoy a unique and possibly live-changing opportunity to connect with Nature’s and the group’s Wisdom, Intelligence and Intuition.
