Common Ground
compassion based communication & yoga

There are three things worth cultivating:
inner peace, compassion and our relation
with the earth
Welcome
My name is Merel Maria.
I offer ceremonies, retreats, workshops and classes
based on Yoga, Breath and
Nonviolent Communication.
The common factor in these practices is that they help us to transform, remember and re-align. They help us to embody who we really are and live in harmony, peace and happiness with our self, each other and the earth.
The practices that I share are serving me a lot and I gladly share them with you.

Breath & Medicine
breathwork with psilocybin
Working with the medicine of the breath and a mini-dose of psilocybin truffles, we welcome the new year with freshness, renewal an inner sight. Breathwork can be deeply transformative and cleansing.

Vision Walk
psilocybin in nature
Nature can be a source of inspiration and insight. During this Vision Walk we will enjoy a slow, silent walk through a quiet young forest with a mild dose of psilocybin truffles. The truffles help us to experience deeper connection with our self and the world around us, and to live more from who we really are.
