This is truly a life-changing experience! I had been suffering from chronic pain in my neck and shoulders for two years. I have been to various doctors, surgeons, orthopedists, and physiotherapists, but all medical examinations (X-rays, MRIs, ultrasounds) showed normal results. I even went to shamans in the hope that it had a supernatural cause, but that didn't help either. After conventional medicine yielded no results, I switched to holistic healing methods through Traditional Chinese Medicine. That helped me enormously, because I could move my neck and arms again and the pain disappeared, but the effect was only short-lived (2-3 days). I have spent a lot of money on all these treatments, including all the temporary aids and painkillers I could find on Amazon – you name it, I have it. One day, I stumbled upon a documentary called 'E-motions' on Prime Video and 'How to change your mind' on Netflix. These documentaries explore how emotions can become trapped in our bodies and form a trauma that causes pain. Incidentally, I saw a YouTube video in which this subject is discussed further and a doctor swears by the use of psychedelics. I have tried everything over the past few years: yoga, Pilates, meditation, acupuncture, cupping, massage, physiotherapy, painkillers, but nothing has cured me permanently. Psychedelics were the only thing I hadn't tried yet, and I was afraid to do it because it is an illegal drug. I looked online and discovered that it was being offered in the Netherlands during a spiritual healing retreat, so I tried it, because I had nothing to lose—it was either I try it, or I will remain in constant pain for the rest of my life. I went to the retreat without expectations and I had no idea what we would do or what would happen to me. It turned out to be the best decision I ever made for myself. After the two-day retreat, I view it as a ritual/ceremony; it is sacred and only for people who are called/chosen and who seek spiritual healing. Immediately on day 1, after taking the medication, I felt healed, and negative energy and stuck emotions in my body were released. I felt so relieved and was surprised by how powerful the medication is. The 'trip' was generally great. I knew I needed the guides to hold me and help me heal. The retreat guides were very caring, understanding, and compassionate. I immediately felt welcome upon entering the center. The MindTravellers know exactly what they are doing and how to solve things quickly. I am very happy that I chose this center for a retreat, because I couldn't have asked for more from the people who were there for me those two days. The location is a bit far from the center, but is easily accessible by public transport and is a good walk from Culemborg station. The place was clean, neat, and tidy. I am very meticulous, but I saw how well the toilets, showers, kitchen, and beds were taken care of. The price is high for a two-day retreat, but it was absolutely worth it. In short, I would wholeheartedly recommend this to my friends and family. I shared the above because I want to help other people who are in my previous situation and suffer from chronic pain. It has been a week since I traveled and I am still recovered; the pain hasn't returned yet – not that I want it to, but it is good to know. I hope and pray that this is the definitive solution for my healing. This retreat has made me my normal, cheerful self again!
