THE JOURNEY
We gather at 14:00 to arrive, set our intentions and prepare for the day ahead.
From there, we move into the journey, accompanied by immersive live sound using gongs, singing bowls, drums, voice and other overtone-rich instruments.
We end the day with a sharing circle and some light food before returning home.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
This experience is intended for mentally and physically healthy adults who feel called to explore themselves more deeply.
You might be navigating a life transition, seeking clarity, reconnecting with your creativity, or simply feeling curious about this work.
No previous experience with psychedelics or sound journeys is required.
“A truly magical experience that I would wish for everyone to have at least once in their lifetime.”
— Marge

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Not at all. The Deep Listening is open to people with and without previous psychedelic experience. Before joining, we’ll have a personal intake call to talk about your experience, intentions and any questions or concerns you may have. Together we’ll make sure the journey feels like a good fit for you.
-
This is a very common concern, especially if it’s your first psychedelic experience. You’ll be in a small, carefully held setting and guided throughout the entire journey. Rather than trying to control the experience, we gently invite you to listen, stay curious and allow whatever arises to unfold at its own pace.
-
A psychedelic journey can sometimes bring emotions, memories or sensations to the surface. This doesn’t necessarily mean something is going wrong. You’ll be supported throughout the experience, with space to move through whatever arises without needing to force, fix or understand it in the moment.
-
A previous difficult experience doesn’t automatically mean The Deep Listening isn’t for you. It is, however, something we want to understand before you join. We’ll talk about your previous experience during the intake and explore together whether this setting and approach feel appropriate for you.
-
Everyone who joins The Deep Listening first has a personal intake conversation. We’ll talk about your intention, previous experience, physical and mental health, medication and anything else that may be relevant. Psychedelic experiences aren’t suitable for everyone, and if we feel this particular journey isn’t the right fit, we’ll be open about that and can explore other ways of working together.
-
The Deep Listening takes place in an intimate group with plenty of personal attention. Preparation begins before the journey through an intake and preparation guide, and you’ll be supported throughout the entire experience. The setting, music, sound and flow of the day are carefully created to give you the space to turn inward while knowing that support is always close by.
-
The Deep Listening takes place at a carefully selected private location in Amsterdam. The space is chosen for its atmosphere, comfort and acoustics. You'll receive the exact location and practical details before the journey.
-
The experience doesn’t necessarily end when the journey does. Insights, emotions and new perspectives can continue to unfold in the days afterwards. You’ll receive guidance for the days following the journey, and we come together again for an integration call to reflect on what emerged and how you might bring it into everyday life.
-
Yes. The Deep Listening can also be experienced privately as a 1:1 journey, as a couple or duo, or with your own small group. Private journeys can be shaped around your intention and the depth of experience you’re looking for. Get in touch and we can explore what would be most appropriate.
