Cacao Truffel Ceremony
with Marjolein

If you can't get enough of Marjolein's weekly relaxing classes here at de Nieuwe Yogaschool , well then we have an event for you.... Our new cacao truffel ceremonies, where the healing practices of yoga nidra and restorative yoga are combined with these incredible natural healers. & Healing Sounds.

While holding poses for longer periods of time while being fully supported by many, many props, you get to dream away as you listen to yoga nidra story telling. As the body and the mind will enter deep states of relaxation, the heart opening cacao and mind broadening truffels will allow you to deepen the experience even more. While all the props will do the work for you, all you have to do is allow yourself to surrender to the moment, to just be. To be held and carried, as Marjolein's soothing voice and intuitive guidance will be there to hold on to: you get to journey to a place of inner peace.

During these 3,5 hour sessions, suitable for everyone, slowness is everything. There will be a beautiful buildup in the sequence of the poses, where most poses will already feel like you are taking a heavenly nap, but we will finish the journey with an extra long savasana. Restorative yoga style of course! 

Next to that, elements like reiki touch, aromatherapy and sound will be added, to make it an unforgettable experience. 

Wão cacao

As you have your first sip of Wão, don’t be surprised to hear yourself utter wow... Wao is a ceremonial cacao blend from El Salvador, packed with adaptogens (like lion’s mane, cordyceps, reishi & maca) which complement the grounding energy & focus of the cacao. Next to that, super food plants (like beetroot & rosehip) are adding vitamins to help our bodies absorb the rich minerals in ceremonial cacao, plus ayurvedic spices (like cardamom, cinnamon, turmeric) adding diversity of plant ingredients to complement fermented cacao in being great for gut health as well as other incredible health benefits. Plus, it is well known for it's heart opening properties and combines perfectly with truffels.

Truffels

There is the option to deepen the experience by having a micro- or minidose of psilocybin. A beautiful mind broadening medicine that works beautifully together with the heart opening cacao. Psilocybine is safe to use, however there are some contraindications: if you are on any medication (like anti-depressants) please check if there is any interaction with the psilocybin, medical contraindications like heart conditions, (family members with) early onset psychosis/schizophrenia, anxiety disorders or (severe) depression. Next to these contraindications, it is important to realize that psilocybin will amplify your emotions: therefor if you or going through something, are upset, in a vulnerable state or something just happened that day, than it might be smarter to skip Whenever you are not sure, please reach out to us with any questions you might have. Your safety and that of the group has our highest priority.
