The Team

Hanneke, Facilitator

Hanneke’s experience is rooted in applied psychology, somatic practice, and natural methods. She is currently pursuing a master’s program in spiritual care.

Throughout her life, she has been passionate about discovering what life is, existential questions… Who are we? and What do we call “being human”? This quest has led her to explore both inner worlds and study different cultures, views of existence, and spiritual practices. Hanneke practices psychology and coaching tailored to everyday life and burnout, and has been working with psychedelics since 2012.

Since then, she has worked with individuals and groups in ceremonies and retreats to foster alignment and synchronization.

David, Facilitator

David is driven by a deep curiosity about the mind and the transformative potential within each individual, as well as gratitude for the privilege of supporting others in these processes. He is compassionate and grounded.

His journey into plant medicines began at age 20, sparking a lifelong exploration that links science and healing. After studying cognitive neuroscience in the context of psychedelic research, David felt called to support people more directly, leading him to pursue a second master’s in clinical psychology. He spent the last five years working for various legal psilocybin retreat organizations in the Netherlands, while travelling to Peru, Costa Rica and Mexico to immerse himself in traditional shamanic lineages and indigenous sounds to deepen his practice.

At Tangerine Retreat, David combines his background in psychology, science, and spirituality to support participants through their preparation, journey, and integration. He also integrates consciousness work with the healing power of sound bathing.

Jakobien, Facilitator

Jakobien offers empathy, sensitivity and groundedness to the retreats. Her curiosity about spiritual practices and worldviews of people across the globe led her to explore psychedelics at an early age. This complemented her other lifelong interests such as travel, arts, shamanism, Buddhism, and Kundalini yoga.

She’s been supporting the psychedelic renaissance in science since 2016, and got trained as a holistic coach and trauma practitioner in the meanwhile. For several years now, she supports people on their journeys with microdosing or full doses. Her special interests are trauma recovery, women’s health, and neurodivergency.

She sees the retreat as an opportunity for both participants and team to embrace the whole spectrum of our human experience ever more fully, and that can bring greater harmony to all our relationships—including the relationship with ourselves, our communities and Mother Nature.

Tessa, Facilitator

Tessa is an intuitive guide and creative facilitator with extensive personal and professional experience ranging from complex introspective work, expanded states of consciousness and observing subtle layers of energy.

Her path is one of experiential learning and for almost a decade she underwent deep journeys with psychedelic compounds and received wisdom teachings in traditional shamanic (Amazonian, Mexican and African) and modern western settings. As a facilitator, she guided over 50+ international group retreats.

Within Tangerine Retreat, she provides preparation & integration coaching, somatic workshops and guidance during the breathwork and psilocybin truffle ceremonies.

Nora, Facilitator

Nora is a facilitator deeply committed to creating a compassionate and safe space.

As a trauma therapist trained in Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry method, she completed a master’s thesis on psilocybin-assisted therapy for childhood trauma. Drawing from her experiences with Shipibo traditions, she is immersed in an online doctoral program at the California Institute of Integral Studies. There, she connects indigenous and shamanic wisdom, psychedelic research, transpersonal psychology, and spirituality.

Nora is grateful to be involved in this meaningful work. She is dedicated to holding a safe space for transformation, personal growth, and healing.

Mourad, Facilitator

Mourad guides transformation processes with presence, sensibility and humanity. Passionate by consciousness exploration and attentive to the precious resources each person holds inside them, he supports the inner movements that follow change, with presence and sensibility.

Drawn by Nonviolent Communication, active listening, hypnotherapy and IFS, his approach aims to offer a safe, sensitive, and free space where everyone can fully surrender.

Leo, Facilitator

Leo dedicates his life to the Amazon rainforest and the Indigenous peoples who protect it. And, of course, to psychedelic substances like psilocybin.

Convinced of the importance of traditional knowledge and its complementary value to modern medicine, he has been carrying out solidarity and ecological projects with Indigenous communities for the past five years. He also hosts groups of volunteers in the villages to support their way of life while exploring their culture and rituals.

For years, he has been facilitating retreats, guiding participants through the experience. As part of Tangerine Retreat, Leo shares “medicine songs,” which he learned during his travels in the rainforest.

Magalie, Facilitator

Magalie loves to approach life as an endless learning experience, adopting a humble and highly attentive attitude. Passionate about freedom and simplicity, she has a deep connection with nature, particularly the plant world. To her, plants hold a raw truth capable of inspiring personal exploration.

Trained in Sylvotherapy (the benefits of forests on our health) and in mind-body practices (body listening), Magalie is an experienced facilitator who has developed her own breathwork protocol and continues to train in breath coaching. She is seen as a deeply rejuvenating presence during retreats.

Yolaine, Facilitator

After a career as a professional dancer, Yolaine trained in fascia therapy, psychosomatic relaxation, and transgenerational psychoanalysis to support individuals on their life journeys.

Her encounter with expanded states of consciousness has enriched her practice, particularly through the integration of key exploratory tools, such as Holotropic Breathwork.

She aims to support participants in exploring new inner spaces, accessing untapped resources, and discovering new answers.

Yolaine is a certified practitioner in somato-psychopedagogy (fascia therapy), trained at the Danis Bois International School of Psychosomatic Pedagogy. She also received training in psychosomatic relaxation at CIPS Sami Ali and in transgenerational psychoanalysis at Jardin d’Idées.
