Therapy with myself
"It was as if I had a good conversation with my subconscious, actually a kind of therapy with myself"
Fanny
The NetherlandsComing home
"Going to Eric and Marieke is always like coming home. Their hospitality is heartwarming and the location fantastic. The whole concept has a 'worry-free' effect. You can and may let go of everything for a while and focus entirely on yourself and your own process. You will be guided where necessary. The trips are sublimely accompanied by appropriate music and the necessary care. If you would like to take a big leap in personal development and do so in a very beautiful way, this is the place to be!"

Helena
The NetherlandsDealing with the purest form of all my emotions
"I opened the door to my inner self and spent some time in there, dealing with the purest form of all my emotions, answering my most pressing questions, and making peace with my world and self. Beyond that, I connected with the oneness that we're part of, taking a peek at the building blocks of the journey that we call life."

In a loving and honest way, Marieke exposed my ingrained habits and beliefs and gave insights that I was not even aware of.

The NetherlandsConnecting to my inner world
"This past weekend it was time for a journey with magic truffles. What a wonderful experience. I was able to quiet my mind (that alone was a relief) and to connect with my inner world and my own authenticity. I felt and saw a lot. For me a journey in a whole new dimension. Eric and Marieke thank you for sharing your fantastic place and for being there as a spaceholder!"

The NetherlandsConnecting to my inner self
"In a beautiful place, where I felt safe and comfortable, I got the opportunity to connect to my inner self in a very special journey.

Marjorie
The NetherlandsAn overwhelming gratitude
"I arrived with an intention to connect. There was a sense of celebration, too, because my first real psychedelic experience felt like it would be a reward for all the personal development work I have done over the years. When I left that same evening, what I took with me was an appreciation of opposites; overwhelming gratitude for the loving connection to my wife and son; and a sense of my effortless brilliance, coupled with a deep understanding that, whoever I am, I exist only in relationship – it is solely through connection to the people who cross my path and walk alongside me that I am able to shine."
Jonathan

The NetherlandsSehr empfehlenswert
Ich habe mich während des Retreats rundum wohlgefühlt. Der Ort ist wirklich wunderschön gelegen – umgeben von Natur und gleichzeitig mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Die Unterkunft ist mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet, es fehlt an nichts. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich die gelungene Mischung aus naturbelassenem Charme und komfortabler Ausstattung. Ein idealer Ort, um zur Ruhe zu kommen und neue Kraft zu tanken. Sehr empfehlenswert!

What a liberation, I experienced heaven!
You have made sure that you didn't miss anything. You cared for us with so much love and dedication. I felt at home and safe at all times. I couldn't have wished for a better place for my first psychedelic experience. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for these three days full of insights.

SwitzerlandIncredibly profound and mindblowing - Cannabis Retreat
For me, a psychedelic journey is incredibly profound and also mindblowing. Sometimes the journey is abstract, full of feelings an images who are not so clear to me and sometimes is overwhelming, beautiful full of love and a deep feeling in my body and mind. Afterwards the light always conquer the darker images and experiences, even the dark can be seen different. The cannabis journey gave me 2 journey's in one trip, a mindjourney and a different journey in my body. A profound physical experience like a never experienced before.

The NetherlandsI wouldn’t want to experience my next psychedelic journey anywhere other than at ‘The Matter'
Eric and Marieke have made a dream come true with 'The Matter' — a place for anyone who wants to grow personally with the help of plant medicines.
The yurt, the music, the apartments, the food, the conversations with the coaches, the program, absolutely everything is just right. It creates a calm and safe environment where you can fully surrender and let go in complete trust — and grow from it. I wouldn’t want to experience my next psychedelic journey anywhere other than at ‘The Matter’.
Brigitte
The NetherlandsAn unforgettable experience
"It was an unforgettable experience and I look back on our discovery with gratitude. I'm sure there will be more 'loosening up'. I'm looking forward to that. The welcome, care and loving 'holding space' was really overwhelmingly beautiful. You do that incredibly well."
