New Moon Circle

Every new moon, the sky goes dark — and something opens. New Moon Circle is an intimate plant medicine retreat held on the Dutch countryside, where each ceremony begins in that same darkness and moves intentionally together toward light.

What sets us apart is simple: our guides don't stand at the edge of your journey. They enter it with you. At least one guide drinks alongside every group — not to lead from a distance, but to meet you where you are: in the medicine, in the mystery, in the shared field that opens when humans surrender together. Healing witnessed is healing deepened. Healing shared is healing multiplied.

Before you arrive. We believe the journey begins long before the ceremony. Everyone who feels called is welcome to a personal preparation call with one of our guides — a space to ask questions, share your intentions, and arrive feeling held rather than uncertain. Preparation is not a formality here. It is the first step of the work.

The space. Motherland is a former farm transformed into a sanctuary — vast open land, ancient trees, and a ceremony space that holds you without walls closing in. Return from the night to warmth, sauna, animals and the kind of silence that only nature provides.

The medicine. We work with original plant medicine from Peru, prepared and served with care, respect, and deep relationship with the tradition it comes from.

The circle. Each New Moon Circle holds space for 6 to 8 participants. Groups are kept small and intentional — this is not a festival, it is a circle.

Two ceremonies, one unfolding. The weekend holds two consecutive ceremonies — Friday and Saturday night — each followed by a morning sharing circle where what was experienced can be spoken, witnessed, and gently integrated together. The body and mind begin to familiarise themselves with the medicine and the altered state it opens, and within a single weekend a genuinely cumulative process becomes possible: the second ceremony builds on the first. You arrive to it differently — more open, more trusting, already initiated. No two ceremonies are alike; Saturday gives you the chance to refine your intention in the light of what the first night revealed.

After you return. The medicine works long after the weekend ends. That's why every participant receives a personal, one-on-one integration call — not a group debrief, but a conversation tailored entirely to what arose for you.

Nourishment. Throughout the weekend we serve homecooked vegetarian meals, with fully vegan and gluten-free options available. Special dietary needs are always welcome — just let us know in advance.

Participation and price: € 950 per weekend. Participation is only possible following a personal intake — email us to express interest, and we'll schedule an intake call and take it from there together.

Upcoming dates: Friday 27 – Sunday 29 November 2026, then one weekend each month through 2027, timed around the new moon — see the full calendar in the agenda for exact dates.
