Our mission
"Safety, Integration, Fun, Connection, and Unity."
We feel responsible. Our priority is to create a sense of safety – both for the individual and for the community. We learned this the hard way ourselves and want to prevent others from going through that experience.
This mindset has grown from our own often painful experiences. But these experiences have shown us how important it is, and we want to spare others from having to walk the same path.
In a mystical way, we have found each other as a group – connected by a common calling: to pass on our knowledge and practices in today's urban world.
As an international collective, we bring a wide range of experiences, wisdom, and cultural traditions together, blending academic knowledge with shamanic practices. Our roots reach from Germany and the Netherlands to the Caribbean and South America.
Together, we unite ancient wisdom with modern insights – because Eastern, Western, and indigenous (jungle) traditions are integrated into our practices.
Meet your facilitators
Ernesto - NL
Ernesto navigate people through their subconscious to resolve inner conflicts. Where old patterns are stored, and hidden conflicts await healing. His path is shaped by intensive self-experience, shamanic practices, and years of work with plant medicine. From this deep connection to the inner world, he draws his knowledge – and has been sharing it with great dedication for five years. In recent years, his work has focused on creating healing spaces – places for inner freedom, self-empowerment, and transformation. His work unfolds powerfully in connection with his long-time companion Randy and, since last year, his companion Nina. Together, they create deep Theta Sessions with Cacao and other plant-based companions: ceremonies that harmonize heart, body, soul, and spirit, helping people meet themselves on a new level.
Randy aka Rancido - NL
Randy discovered his connection to the world of sound early on – at the age of ten, he started creating his own electronic soundscapes. Today, he has over ten years of international experience as a producer and DJ in the electronic music scene. Through his personal transformation journey, he developed a deeper understanding of the effect of frequencies – and their ability to touch, move, and initiate healing deep within. He brings this fine sensitivity into the Theta Sessions, intuitively working with sound, rhythm, and energetic presence – as a bridge between body, emotion, and consciousness.
Nina - DE
Nina is a psychologist and lives her passion for holding healing spaces where authentic encounters and deep transformation are possible. Her journey began with an inner desire to accompany people in challenging life phases – a calling that led her to study psychology. Early on, she expanded her practice to include holistic healing approaches and deepened her knowledge of Peruvian and Balinese ceremonial work. What she values most is working with cacao as heart medicine and the power of breath. Today, she combines her psychological knowledge with spiritual practices, creating spaces where presence, sound, movement, plant power, and connection unfold their impact – safe and warm spaces that lead people to their hearts and their deepest truth.
Nadja - DE
Born in the lively city of Hamburg, Nadja is an inspiring personality who lives her passion for life and nature. With her yoga teacher training, she not only deepened her own practice but also gained the knowledge to help others on their path to greater mindfulness and inner peace. Her training in autogenic training, progressive muscle relaxation (PMR), and stress management has given her a comprehensive understanding of the needs of body, mind, and soul. As a children's yoga teacher, she shows her dedication to bringing the benefits of yoga closer to the youngest. Nadja is a spiritual soul who finds strength and inspiration in nature and lives in harmony with the environment. Her clairvoyant and clairsentient abilities allow her to form deeper connections with others. With an open heart and clear mind, she encourages others to enjoy life in its full splendor and find inner peace.
Marco - DE
Marco is a visionary entrepreneur who brings his passion for holistic well-being and conscious living to life. With a deep interest in meditation, healthy nutrition, as well as breathwork and cacao ceremonies, he has experienced personal transformations and uses these practices to inspire and connect communities. Marco is currently founding an exciting and conscious community on a farmstead near Hamburg. This place will become a retreat for people seeking inner peace and a harmonious lifestyle, with a focus on mindfulness and healthy living. As a successful entrepreneur, he brings both business skills and his vision for a sustainable future to this project, aiming to have a positive impact on the world.

What is cacoa?
Criollo Cacoa - Theobroma cacoa
Ernesto says:
"Cacao is the most accessible healing plant – gentle in its effects, yet deep in its power. It opens the heart, brings grounding, warmth, and softness: a loving invitation to connect with yourself."
Ernesto's love for cacao ignited on his shamanic journey – it was here that he first encountered this plant in a deeper way. For him, cacao is more than just a drink: it is a medicine of the Earth – and one of his favorite companions. Through ceremonies and rituals, he has developed a deep connection with cacao. His journey led him to Peru, Colombia, and Costa Rica, where he met not only the plant but also the people and their traditions on cacao plantations.
Taste: Pure cacao mass has a strong, bitter taste.
Cacao's active ingredients – and why they work:
-
Phenylethylamine (PEA): Known as the “love substance,” it promotes the release of endorphins and may have mood-lifting effects.
-
Anandamide: The "bliss molecule." A neurotransmitter that helps promote feelings of happiness and inner peace.
-
Tryptophan: A precursor to serotonin – the neurotransmitter for emotional balance, calmness, and well-being.
-
Theobromine: A mild natural stimulant that gently stimulates the central nervous system and enhances clarity without overstimulation.
-
Flavonoids (Epicatechin, Catechin, Procyanidins): Antioxidants that strengthen the cardiovascular system and support brain function.
-
Minerals (Magnesium, Iron, Potassium, Copper): Essential nutrients for nerves, muscles, and overall well-being.
-
Fatty Acids (including Oleic Acid, Stearic Acid, Palmitic Acid): Found in cacao butter – they support heart health and provide valuable energy.
-
Theophylline: Another gentle stimulant that complements the effects of cacao and has a relaxing effect on the airways.
Ecstatic Dance
"To finish, we dance."
“Ecstatic Dance with DJ Randy from the Netherlands and spaceholder Nina from Germany is an invitation to connect with yourself and the community.”
In this unique session, you will dive into the world of free dance – with no rules, no expectations. DJ Randy, with his keen sense of music, creates a space where you can fully immerse yourself in the sounds. From soft melodies to powerful beats, the music will guide you on a journey that deeply connects you with your emotions and your body.
The focus of this event is on community. Everyone is welcome, regardless of experience or dance style. In a safe, supportive space, you can move freely, express your energy, and – if it resonates with you – connect with others.
During Ecstatic Dance: Experience the transformative power of music and movement and find your own inner rhythm.
Sparrow
“The sparrow shows up when you are at risk of going past yourself or undervaluing your own worth. When you try to handle everything alone and forget to ask for support.
In times of change, the sparrow invites you to remain flexible and creative – to embrace change and see it as an opportunity for growth.
As a power animal, the sparrow represents the importance of community and social connection. It encourages you to value the relationships around you and care for others. The sparrow reminds you to recognize the power of community, especially in challenging moments, and seek support from those close to you.
