WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
Trauma Healing
Trauma can leave deep-rooted marks that impact your daily life. Our ceremonies are specifically designed to help you heal these wounds, find answers and undergo deep transformation. We combine traditional therapeutic approaches with spiritual practices such as internal journeys with plant medicine, energy work, breathing techniques and bodywork to provide a holistic healing journey. And all this in private where you are personally guided by Jao Silvan and Mamanilca.

In addition to healing and emotional well-being, our ceremonies also focus on mental growth, personal development and the discovery of traditional spirituality. This includes exploring your inner world, breaking through limiting beliefs and fostering a mindset that is focused on growth and possibilities. Through the intense healing ceremonies and reflective practices, you will have the opportunity to increase your self-awareness and gain new insights that can help you reach your full potential.

Personal Attention
What makes our ceremonies special is the personal attention and customization we offer. We work with individual sessions to ensure that each participant receives the personal care and guidance they need. This allows us to delve deeply into individual needs and goals, and to create a safe and supportive environment in which true healing and growth can take place. If you would like to come with a partner, family member or best friend, that is possible.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
The Environment of Curaçao
Curaçao offers the perfect setting for a spiritual ceremony. Curaçao means “healing” and “heart”. The natural beauty of the island, with its clear turquoise waters, white sand beaches and lush flora, contributes to an atmosphere of tranquility and relaxation. Our ceremonies and retreats take full advantage of this environment, with our ceremonies taking place in mountainous terrain and relaxation in serene outdoor locations. The combination of natural beauty and traditional guidance creates a unique and transformative experience.​​​​
​
​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​Emotional Health
Emotional health is crucial to a fulfilled life. Our ceremonies provide a space to restore and strengthen your emotional balance. The individual sessions are focused on clearing the noise in your head, understanding events in your life, connecting with the heart, developing emotional resilience and improving self-care and self-love. By combining these approaches with the peaceful environment of Curaçao, you can experience an unforgettable, deep and emotional healing.​​
Conclusion
Our 1 on 1 ceremonies on Curaçao are more than just an escape from everyday life; they are a journey within, an opportunity to heal, grow and discover your true self. Whether you come to heal trauma, improve your emotional health or discover your life path, our ceremonies offer a unique combination of professional guidance and the natural beauty of Curaçao to support you on your path to well-being and fulfillment.

Please note:
There is a pre-evaluation that must take place before you can register and participate in our healing ceremonies.
-
Can I drive my car after doing a ceremony?Our retreats include overnight stay. The last day you will be fully able to travel back or drive home. You may experience some fatigue, so keep that in mind. Our 1 on 1 ceremonies start earlier and participants often travel back home in the evening. When the Santo Niño has completely broken down, there is plenty of time to clear your head and eat something and recover. Our guides will then thoroughly test whether you are completely clear again and can drive. If necessary or desired, you can always sleep over. Safety first!
-
Can I bring someone along for support?As much as we would like to offer that, we cannot facilitate this. Experience has shown that a non-participant could distract you in your process and also because we don't really have room for non-participants to stay. We hope for your understanding. Our ceremony supervisors are all very warm and loving people who are there to support and comfort you in your process. You are not alone!
-
What kind of plant medicine do you work with?Although we work with multiple plant medicines such as Huachuma and Ayahuasca, we exclusively use Psilocybine based plants for our healings, ceremonies and retreats due to our own ancestral history with fungi medicine.
-
Can I go to work the day after a ceremony or healing?This is possible, but we always recommend taking the day off after the ceremony. Once the Santo Niño or Ayahuasca has been processed through your system, you are immediately fresh again and there is no real 'hangover' effect. But the process may have been emotional and continues to a lesser extent after your ceremony. In the days that follow, emotions and insights sometimes still come through, so it is important that you are kind to yourself and take enough rest in the days that follow.
-
How can I best prepare for my healing ceremony?When working with any medicine it's important to have a healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle to become receptive and open to the teachings and wisdom of the plants. As they help us heal from trauma, depression or even disease, it is important that we honour our sacred journey by coming as prepared as possible. The better we prepare ourselves prior to any ceremony, the more benefits we will reap. The details about what you can do to properly prepare your mind, body & soul for this beautiful experience will be given to you by Jao or Mamanilca after booking your 1 on 1 healing or private retreat.
-
Can I attend a ceremony if I use medications?If you have physical diseases such as severe liver problems, heart disease, kidneyfailure or diabetes it is necesarry to first do a diet plan to heal physically untill you are fit enough to attend a ceremony or do the healing experience. We can aid in your recovery by giving you a healing diet combined with medicinal herbs. However, if you have any other severe physical ailment such as cancer, we actually encourage you to do a healing ceremony. In case of severe disease such as cancer, a healing ceremony can provide insights on how to heal and become physically well. Together with a healing diet afterwards and medicinal herbs we can help you find more harmony within your own body and mind. When using medications, for any physical or mental illness, please inform us prior to booking by contacting Jao Silvan to find out how we can make your sacred healing journey most pleasant and effective.
-
Do you offer excursions and activities outside of the retreat?Each 2 or 5 retreat includes excursions to nearby attractions. You decide whether you come along or whether you stay at our location. Since there is a lot of nature in the area with many hikes and beaches, we happily take you around to some of these hotspots.
-
How much time will a 1 on 1 healing take?Every person is unique, and so, every healing journey is unique as well. Therefore, the duration of your healing journey will be mostly depending on how much trauma, stress, tension and emotional imbalances you have within. The most important thing to know is that you will be given as much time as YOU need to fully finish the process. That being said, most people undergo a healing medicine journey of 3 to 5 hours. Together with the consultation you will have beforehand and the integrational mentoring afterwards, the total experience can last anywhere between 6 to 8 hours.
-
What should I bring to a ceremony or private retreat?We provide linen, towels, food and drinks and good, healing vibes. You must bring: In case of a private retreat: Things for an overnight stay Comfortable clothing Flipflops A journal Swim & Active wear For 1 on 1 Healings: Comfortable clothing A journal
-
How do I get to the Healing Centre?The Akituwa healers retreats and ceremonies is facilitated on the island of Curaçao in the Dutch Caribbean, located on the west side of the island. Easily accessible from Hato airport within a 30 min drive. The full address of the retreat will be provided after your booking, but we also offer airport transportation.
-
Should I have expectations and set a goal for myself?Setting an intention is important. Your intention is what you strive for, both during the ceremony and in the time prior and after. If you can clearly indicate where you want to move, and ask for help with that movement, that in itself is an energetic opening to receive what the ceremony has to offer you. An intention is not the same as an expectation – it's better to have no expectations at all. However, you get what you need, not what you want. It's important to understand that you may not get the specific answers you're looking for. It's important to surrender to the process, and trust that you'll get what you need, even if it doesn't always perfectly match your intentions.
