Written Testimonials

“I have been to a retreat at Deep Spirit and met plant medicine. It was an unbelievable and unforgettable experience. The team is great – a little community with a strong bond welcoming everyone from all walks of life. Jacob, Charlotte and all the helpers were so kind and helpful. What they’ve created is amazing. It’s quite unique to find an environment like this one with unconditional acceptance and support from everybody towards everybody. I truly had a great time and have no hesitation recommending them. I would meet the team and do it all again with great pleasure.” Nicolas

 

“A spaceship parked on a magical island. But also a rescue boat on a sea of madness. A temple to bloom from the gloom. I would come back any time to hang with those amazing fellows. I came as a bucket full of broken color bottles and left as a beautiful stained-glass window.” Jeff G.


“I lived my life until 2 years ago not knowing who I was or what my purpose was. I thought that I would find it in drugs and alcohol, but it took me a long time to realise that I wouldn’t. So after 6 years of sobriety, I decided to take things further. One of the most powerful things that I experienced, which I did again at a later date was partake in plant medicine ceremonies at Deep Spirit. I was a little apprehensive as I didn’t know anyone there, but as soon as I got there, I somehow felt that I was in a safe environment. The first ceremony was quite intense and I was sick a few times, but all the time there were people watching over me with love, making sure that I had everything I needed. The songs that were sung during the ceremony were really strange, beautiful, powerful. I felt like I was on some kind of an Amazon alien spaceship. The words were totally unfamiliar but still beautiful. I was told that I was singing along, although I didn’t know the words. The next day we all, one by one, shared our experiences. I found this to be particularly cathartic as I had struggled the night before. I felt that I could really show myself and not be judged for it. Everyone that shared, shared from the heart. This made me love this place even more. I decided at that point that I would come back again and again as a helper. The whole process is set up very professionally and they know what they are doing. The helpers and facilitators have all been through the process and know what it’s like. I liked every single one of them. Such beautiful people. If you want to get closer to yourself then the plant medicine is the way to go.” Patrick


“I’ve had the pleasure to visit Femø in several occasions. I found the place by chance and immediately felt the call to visit knowing there was something there for me. It was my first time doing plant medicine and I was definitely a little bit nervous about the whole experience. However, after 20 minutes on the island I felt at home, surrounded by such a caring and lovely crew that felt just right from the first moment. The whole weekend was probably the most transformative thing I have ever done in my life. It was challenging and confronted me with really deep things I was not even aware was there. I was really happy to be with people who were fully there for me and helped me during and after to integrate the experience. Since then I have been back 3 times – once to work with the medicine and 2 times to visit the people that are now my friends and that are working so hard to build up this amazing community that I feel is my little house in Denmark. Can’t wait to come back.” Andres


“I met plant medicine at a time in my life where I had nearly given up hope. I truly believe that everything comes to us exactly when we need it, and the entire experience, the group of people I participated with, along with the team of helpers truly made it what it was. They gave me that safe space to feel vulnerable, supporting me when I needed it and also knowing when I needed the strength to face something myself. The island and plant medicine saved my life. I will forever be grateful to you all and could not recommend this team more.” Kirsty


“Thank you for a very moving weekend. It has been tough and boundary crossing for me and at the same time rewarding and filled me with so much love and pride. Yes, I think we all have so much to be proud of. The 4 fantastic hosts just do it so well. Totally indescribable. They give us participants a unique opportunity to be ourselves without shields, masks or filters. And they do it with as much care and respect, you actually feel it’s okay to be fragile. Thank you. And us 12 participants we also have a lot to be proud of. To come to the island to work with yourself intensively with 11 strangers – it requires so much courage. And we did it. I’m so proud of you and I’m so proud of myself. Thanks” Paul


“I thank and bow for a weekend filled with lovely people, singing, fun, adventure through the universe, love across the board and last but not least the facilitators and helpers at Deep Spirit. I sit here and dream myself back with the biggest smile. I hope we all meet again. Peace out space monkeys.” Bjarne


“I would like to say thank you to Deep Spirit for the wildest of experiences. So cool that you bother to spend your time and energy to make it possible. And thanks to all of you for taking part. I had fun with you that weekend. Cool to get to know you a little bit. It’s been the coolest experience. It has certainly been an eye opener for me and certainly not the last time I go. All people should go and try out such a weekend. I’m sure would benefit everyone.” Morten


“Dear Deep Spirit and all others who participated in the weekend… From my HEART thank you for a completely absurd, frenzy, fantastic, painful, pretty, terrible, redeeming, liberating, frustrating, piercing, relentless, forever forgiving and containing, dreamy, caring and WILD WILD WILD, soft, embracing, soothing experience.” Pia


“To come to Femø and lay on the matress is mindblowing. What I received in a week is what I have been working for in the last decade. It is a place to be healed and in the place you find a loving “family” that helps and support you through your journey. It is an amazing journey.” Brian


“I was at Femø for a 3-day-retreat in 2019. It was my first time to try the grandmother. From the moment you arrive you feel really welcomed by the Deep Spirit Family. All the guys are beautiful, lovely souls and give a perfect support during the full stay. Also the location and accomodation is a perfect place to come and rest. A big thanks to the team. It was the most unbelievable experience in my life. Like if you spend a night with God. Full of love, thankfulness and humbleness. I really can recommend Deep Spirit to everybody who feels the call from the grandmother.” Maria
