Title: Plastic sweats and pseudo-tantra in The Netherlands
Post by: Litsehimmel on April 16, 2013, 09:44:16 pm
Not sure if all of these are selling the ceremonies themselves, but prepare to be shocked: here's a partial list of Dutch sites offering sweatlodge ceremonies. And clicking some of the links will sometimes reveal some very interesting names!

To get it all started, these guys are most likely familiair to you:

I check out each of these sites we really laughed ;D
The group of young natives that were sitting at my house all look at the sites.
oh my who ever heard!!
They even have woman doing things! :o
These people dont know what they are doing.
The names they give themselves are so funny.
How can people be so stupid to listen to these people.
The first thing we laugh at is the person who uses wolves in their self given name.
We always say a wannabe usually put wolves in there name.

Google translation:

Quote
The inipi ceremonies are led by William Wout de Klerk and a collective of people that the Red Road, Canka Luta, go in understanding Woptura.

From 1994 I, William Wout, and from 1996 also Pragyan, under the guidance of the Chipps family, attended the Sundance of Woptura Medicine Society on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, in the United States. Until 2001 we there every summer as Eagle Dancer dancing. We then less frequently at the Sundance participated.

LH does it look like these two are still active?

Yes, they are - there's monthly schedules here:

http://www.zweethut.net/node/915

He offers sweats at 2-3 weekends each month from April to June (no entries for the following months as of yet), and the text says that you can contact him to arrange sweats at other dates.

There are no price tags given, but in the section "Spirituality and money", he put up a text written by Jade Wahoo Grigori.

He does not only sell ceremonies in the Netherlands, but he's got premises in Colombia, too:

http://www.zweethut.net/content/inipi-zweethut

"In the summer of 2002, Pragyan and I took the inipi to Chachagui, Colombia. There we did a sun dance in the spring of 2003 at Onabi Nunhue, the house of the jaguar.
In Januar 2007, Pragyan and I built huts for a new group of people in Cali and La Cocha, Columbia."

Pragyan looks to be Pragyan Grimm http://spirituelebazaar.nl/ads/inipi-zweethut-ceremonies-in-zeeland/ (http://spirituelebazaar.nl/ads/inipi-zweethut-ceremonies-in-zeeland/) - there is a fixed price listed here for ceremonies she does with someone else.

OMG!  And Holland is such a small country.  What is going on?  Is it like this all over Europe?

You can even get ayahuasca there:

Description

Mystical Ayahuasca

Healing at soul level

A unique experience in a sacred setting

Ayahuasca The name comes from the language of the Quichua and can be roughly translated as the vine of souls. This sacred plant teacher opens the gates to the deepest healing of the soul.
It is a concoction consisting of a combination of two or more species and has for centuries been used ritually by various Indian tribes in South and Central America. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, ayahuasca has also become known in the West. Ayahuasca contains DMT (endogenous substance) and an MAO-inhibiting effect. Because of this, it is strongly recommended to use ayahuasca under the guidance of experts in a ritual setting.
It is also recommended that you properly prepare, where you live and eetregels observe.
Ayahuasca is known for its purifying effect on both the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level simultaneously with a deep connection to the imperceptible. In most cases, users feel, is clear and refreshed after a deep ayahuasca experience.
In order to achieve a deep experience of ayahuasca ask you, besides a good preparation: a total surrender.

We offer:
-Individual ceremonies
Ceremonies small group (max. 6 participants)
Group ceremonies large (max 12 participants)
-Three-day seminar in Valencia (min.8 max.12 participants)

If you are interested, please contact Yvonne: tel: 06-42145040 info@herbalspirit.nl

Note:  I checked the Wikipedia and Ayahuasca has been in the Netherlands since the late 1990's:

Quote
Around the end of the 1990s, ayahuasca use spread to Europe. The first ayahuasca 'Churches' affiliated to the Brazilian Santo Daime were established in the Netherlands. A legal case was filed against two of the Church's leaders, Hans Bogers (one of the original founders of the Dutch Santo Daime community) and Geraldine Fijneman (the head of the Amsterdam Santo Daime community). Bogers and Fijneman were charged with distributing a scheduled substance (DMT); however, the prosecution was unable to prove that the use of ayahuasca by members of the Santo Daime constituted a sufficient threat to public health and order that it warranted denying their rights to religious freedom under ECHR Article 9. The 2001 verdict of the Amsterdam district court is an important precedent. Since then groups that are not affiliated to the Santo Daime have used ayahuasca, and a number of different 'styles' have been developed, such as the non-religious approach developed by Daniel Waterman in 2001,[27] popularly termed Ayahuasca Open Style (AOS).[28]

Due to the legal status of ayahuasca in much of the West,[citation needed] those who have been exploring its therapeutic potential are unable to do so openly. The non-religious therapeutic use of ayahuasca is not protected by covenants on religious freedom.

(for anyone who needs translations like I do, the google chrome browser can be helpful, has a built in translation bar)

Yikes: "Once started a ritual, you are explicitly asked to stay to the end." Also expected to take yourself off certain psych meds before.

I wonder if LG is using ayahuasca?

Yes, like Ingeborg said he's still active. Also on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/352141568159003/

Quote
Willem Wout has been trained by the Lakota Indians in the United States and is a Shaman. I know Willem Wout as an intelligent, strong man with a loving and caring attitude who is able to create the proper conditions in which you can experiment, heal and grow.

This particular ceremony was held last Saturday. Through the organizer Ben van Duijn I also found de Klerk's FB account:

At this site, one of the links that Litsehimmel posted above, you can get both a sweat lodge and ayahuasca in one weekend!  Talk about mix and match.   http://www.degewijdereis.nl/ayahuasca/

Quote
Sweat lodge / Ayahuascaweekenden
Sweat lodge / Ayahuascaweekenden

Since last year we also organize weekends with the combination sweat lodge ceremony and ayahuasca ceremony. On the first day is the sweat lodge ceremony and on the second day of the ayahuasca ceremony.

The program on the first day starts at 13 am and ends at about 19/20 hours. The ayahuasca ceremony on the second day begins at half past 10 and ends around 18 hours (target time).

It is possible to attend (50 euros). Release the sweat lodge ceremony

For data see below Calendar. Exercise can be done via info@degewijdereis.nl

They even have Ken Wilber in on the act, by posting a video of him discussing ayahuasca (for those who are impressed by Ken Wilber).

More info on the site http://soulbay.nl/zweethutweekend/ mentioned in the first post ...

Soulbay site, offering sweat lodge ceremonies.

http://anonym.to/?http://soulbay.nl/zweethutweekend/

Evolved from a site called Sprense, whose owners (Joep Timmers and Marlene [no last name yet]) are dedicated to experiencing 'free love' and 'sensual healing'. I.o.w. tantric sex.
Some people connected to Soulbay are:
- Rinske Frederiks (https://www.facebook.com/rinske.frederiks); teaches kundalini yoga; 'flow process manager'; married to the following
- Hugo van der Drift (https://www.facebook.com/hugo.vanderdrift); OSHO follower; co-owner of and coach and trainer at corporate training agency called "Nieuwe Dimensies" (new dimensions); promotes 'peaceful communication'
- Petra Wilmer (Houtzager); active in theater, has several sites which are down or not-developed yet
- Vasu Macqouy (https://www.facebook.com/vasu.macquoy?fref=pb&hc_location=friends_tab); connected to http://www.soulquest-reizen.nl which, amongst other things, promotes 'meditating on grave hills' in Cornwall, England.
- Mati Engwerda; dancer, owns site www.dansdevijfritmes.nl (dance the five rithms) on which she helps advertise for sweat lodges (Sacha zomerfestival  14-18 augustus Dreumel)

As well as this guy:

- Rob Hoebee; calls himself a white self-sufficient magician on his site (www.robhoebee.nl); claims to "walk the Red Road"; uses music like "mantras, heartsongs and old native american prayers"; was "trained as a shaman";
Quote
"I am very dedicated to the Red Road, inspired by the Lakotas (Sioux). It's all about what you do here and now in daily life. I am very happy with everything I have obtained from this road and will still obtain."
   Has produced several 'native american' cd's together with Ingrid Sonneveld, on which they sing "ndn" songs. About their cooperation:
Quote
"Ingrid Sonneveld (see HeartSong): I work together with Ingrid in the area of music, espially performances and also in rituals and ceremonies. Together we have produced two CDs. / Healing and initiating rituals and ceremonies: (with colleagues if necessary) All people use ceremonies and rituals to get in touch with the Higher Powers. The purpose is often a call for help and support in undergoing certain changes: i.e. (changing) relationships, birth, blessing a marriage, rite of passage and initiation from one phase to the next (i.e. boy > man, girl > woman), departure, return, initiation, cleansing, blessing and start of own practice, general changes, setting your passion free in the world. In short, the ife of your soul and everything that Life brings to you. The special focussed actions like attention, prayers and music help in making the connection. You don't have to do anything alone! It even goes a lot easier when you can depend on the support of the Spirits!
Note. These ceremonies are empty in form and are designed and completed together with the client. The connective elements of all Spiritual currents will be decisive in this process.

Sweat lodge ceremony on the site involves the singing of Lakota songs  and talking about the canku luta, the Red Road. It is led by Rob Hoebee and Kerstin Kinast. Seperate 'moonlodge' for women on their monthlies.

Quote
The tradition of the Lakota indians knows a large number of ceremonies which are still very much alive.

From this tradition we take you along a short journey to the deeper wisdom of the natural peoples of North America: they lifestyle, their connection with Mother earth and that which all these peoples have in common:

they call themselves ‘Keepers of the Earth’.

We open with a Four Directions song. Following that there is a round with the Talking Stick. After a short story about its origins, everyone may share and ask questions. We aletrnate with singing Lakota songs and saying Lakota prayers.

Aho Mitakuye Oyasin (“For all my relatives”),

Not Tantra. Real Tantra is a South Asian tradition and has nothing to do with these bored swingers and newagers who often have ties to criminal sex trafficking.

Bunch of nasty pretendians and pretend-asians, selling fake ceremonies that are going to, at best, do nothing but reinforce their racist alienation and, at worst, really mess people up and even kill them. Frauds.  Shameful frauds.

Again from the list in the first post, the site http://www.zweethut.org

Connected with John Fire Lame Deer, son of Archie Fire Lame Deer and grandson of John Fire Lame Deer. It says on the site:
Quote
The sweat lodge ceremony like we do it could be typified as traditional. I.o.w. we do it as we have been taught by the late Archie Fire Lame Deer and after that by his son John. Of course we are not Lakota indians and do not pretend to be. The ceremony is held in the same manner it has been held by generations in this line.

On the home page of the site it says:

Quote
nonprofit - The aim is to do as many sweat lodge ceremonies together as possible. This means that nobody makes any money from the sweat lodge ceremonies which we organize. Everybody (organizors, participants, water pourers and fire people) shares equally in the costs. Money that is left over is spent on ptojects which benefit the Lakota. Furthermore we are of the opinion that money should never be a reason not to participate. In that case we can come to an arrangement. Kids up to 16 years old participate for free.
international - Our organization is part of an international organization that holds sweat lodges / seminars over several days with a.o. John Fire Lame Deer and Thomas Geldner in several countries throughout Europe. This happens according to the same traditon that we use. For more information on different European locations see http://www.lamedeer.org/

On the German Lame Deer site

A link to French sweat lodge ceremonies connects to a Maurice Rebeix (https://www.facebook.com/rebeix; http://www.reveurs-de-tonnerre.com/); photographer; friends with Tiwakan-Wi Brothers (https://www.facebook.com/tiwakanwi.brothers) on his FB, who in turn lists Mary Brave Bird (https://www.facebook.com/mary.bravebird; author of Lakota Woman) as 'sister'. Did not find anything on this site with regard to the two women.

As for Maurice Rebeix, he seems (as far as I can understand his French site) to be legit in as far as wanting to provide the French public with accurate information with regard to the Lakota. Wrote a book (Rêveurs-de-Tonnerre) which includes a foreword by Leonard Peltier.

If my surmise that this is all above aboard is wrong, please let me know and I will look into it further.

A link to German sweat lodge ceremonies seems to be less legit. This link goes on to the site http://inipi.info/. On the home page one immediately discovers a link to a Shamanic Summer Camp with passing rites (Shamanissche Sommer-Camp mit Übergangsritualen). This 'summer camp' is led by Dhyan Marsha Rademacher Borboleta Azul and Jack Silver Regenbogenherz-Kolibri (Jack Silver Rainbow Heart-Kolibri), both self-professed 'shamans'. The camp lasts a week and costs 255 euros, excluding additional costs charged by the camp site location. The setup already has been discussed in this thread: http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=2489.msg20859#msg20859

These two people - Dhyan Marsha and Jack Silver; life partners (http://www.kriegerschule.de/ueber-uns/leitung.html)  - also have their own site called Warrior School (Kriegerschule) http://www.kriegerschule.de/  It includes a prayer "to the Great Mother" by Alba Maria, who in turn can be found here:
http://ecojourneysbrazil.blogspot.nl/p/shaman-alba-maria.html
http://shamans-journey.blogspot.nl/2013/04/shaman-alba-maria.html

Alba Maria can in turn be connected to 'shaman' Dancing Thunder through the upcoming Shamanic Teachings event (www.shamanicteachings.eu) which - of course - is held in The Netherlands. Dancing Thunder has been discussed many times already, and is a fraud.

Shaman Dhyan Marsha seems to have received her training from both Alba Maria and somebody named Burkhardt Kiegeland (http://www.kiegelandfoto.com/about/burkhardt-kiegeland; http://www.einsundsein.org/index.php); photographer, musician; self proclaimed guru and buddha; leader of a sect called "White Lotus" (Weisser Lotus; http://www.relinfo.ch/weisserlotus/info.html); was thrown out of the Bhagwan community in Oregon ... i.o.w. a totally trustworthy guy ... not.

Shaman Jack Silver has been taught by the Deer Tribe. Having read several threads on the forum, I guess that C.V. says it all.

I'll look into the rest of the people mentioned on the site(s) as soon as possible.

Holy crap.

No. The guy's an appropriator. He's a frenchman leading fake Lakota ceremonies for white people in Europe. There's nothing the least bit "legit" about that.

Google translation of this page on his site (http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.reveurs-de-tonnerre.com%2F%23APROPO&act=url). He gives the, "Lakota own their spirituality" disclaimer, and then applauds the people he's found who violate the Declaration of War and similar standards and let Euros buy their way into Sun Dances, even to the extent of dancing.  He's just another Euro who bought his way in at Crow Dog's. This is shameful stuff:

"They open their doors to the rest of the world in the spirit of peace and harmony, in accordance with the ceremonial formula that is at the heart of all their rituals Mitakuye Oyasin!
...
I have a personal involvement with the Lakota Spiritual World and with the circle of the Sun Dance, where the most sacred, the most fundamental of the Lakota Sioux rituals happens. For the past 13 years, I have been a Sun Dancer at that Sundance.
...
The participation in ceremonies that we offer you to experience in our meetings are essentially identical to those that you could experience on Indian land."

And he has the arrogance and ignorance to sign his words with, "Mitakuye Oyasin."

Additionally, the Lakota do not need French pretendians to "educate" other French people about them. They can, and do, speak for themselves. If the curious French person (what exactly is it they so need to know, anyway?) doesn't speak English, there are plenty of NDNs who speak French. NDNs don't need anthropologists; those people actually harm NDN communities and cultures, and spawn ceremony-sellers.

Rebieux is also profiting off his pictures of Lakotas, and is involved in this project:

http://rapidcityjournal.com/news/french-clothing-firm-seeking-lakota-look/article_037b7556-724d-58df-be15-f4499b193f6c.html

'"He said Aigle was interested in the Lakota culture and its exotic look and thought it would meld seamlessly into its tribal themes photographed in the faces of indigenous people from Tahiti and Mongolia.

'"I felt they were providing a positive image," Rebeix said.'

I guess the Lakotas who look like the stereotype these Euros want to encourage could use the money from a modelling gig (just like some folks got jobs as extras in "Dances with Wolves. Ahem.).  But a truly supportive effort would be to promote Lakota designers, not some corporation that is going to appropriate from "tribal" cultures to sell "exoticism" to non-Natives.

This guy is a culture vulture, an exploiter, pimping the Lakota for his own profit. He's the epitome of the "helpful" Euro who just wants to steal from NDNs.

Hi Kathryn,

Thanks for correcting me on Maurice Rebeix.

I did find him connected to the 10th edition of the "Festival America" mentioned on this site http://www.csia-nitassinan.org/spip.php?article352. The event took place in September 2012 and Rebeix was said to have been part of a discussion on Leonard Peltier with "Jimbo" Simmons", a Chocktaw from Oklahoma and AIM-West representative. However, I'm not knowledgeable enough to say what all this means.

Yet another site from the list in the first post, http://www.dewegvanhethart.com/zelftherapie/hut.htm

A mixed site with bits about christianity, about mantras, the daila lama, etc. Under F.A.Q. (Veel gestelde vragen) the owner of the site writes:

Quote
I myself was baptized as a Roman Catholic, own a bible and read it regularly, and frequently visit a (R.C.) church.

With this site I want to share with others that which personally helps me on my path. That is God, Jesus, the Angels, Maria, my guides, and all other subjects which are mentioned on my site. Use that which speaks to you, and leave the rest for what it is. I respect every person. There are many ways which lead to God. Besides Christianity they include Buddhism, the Islam, Hinduism, the Jewish faith, the paranormal, the spiritual, and shamanism. Those ways lead to God as well, Gos is in everything, and everything is in God. Why keep looking at the differences between our brothers and sisters? Let's stop judging. Let's see what we have in common. That is more than you think! This is what I try to keep doing.

On her Links page she redirects to:

Herky's Lodge
Site owned by Frank van den Hurk. Description: "All about Native Americans and their respect for all that lives." My pc had difficulties entering the site (I have a bunch of firewalls and stuff). He received a WhiteFeather's Web Award on June 1, 2003: "The web site owner honors the Native People through his website and offers much to the Native Web Community. Browse through Herky's Lodge & you can find Native History, Culture, Heritage & more. The original WhiteFeathers site has diappeared but seems to have popped up again here: http://www.whitefeatherfoundation.com/who-we-are. Apparently it was started by John Lennon's son Julian.

Frank is an elusive guy. I did find a guest book entry by him stating:

Heeeyyy Jacqueline,
Nice to have found you on the net after I met you yesterday in Venray in "De Witte Hoeve" (the white farmstead). We had a good and enjoyable talk about the indian feeling, the traditions and of course the wolves. enjoyed this very much and noted down your information to find you on the internet. The articles which you offer are beautiful and honest. Have given the two sachets with Loki's hair a nice spot. We might possibly run into eachother again if it is meant to be... Wish you lots of luck and good fortune with the good work that you do.
Greatings,
Frank
ps if you want to visit mysite...
http://members.chello.nl/~f.vandenhurk/

I got this of a cached version of the site because the current site sparked off a severe warning for possible harm to my pc! Could be nothing but still. The site http://www.wolfwhospeaks.nl/ (domain currently for sale) is owned by a woman named Jacky Guelen.

I found her again via an old link in connection with a site called redskymedicine.com. On the cahced version of the old site it says:

Quote
Jacqueline's life is very closely connected to that of indians. She met Michael Redsky, a North American Indian who tries to live as much as possible according to the traditional way. He gives healings and readings in America. She wants to do something for him from The Netherlands and sells CDs, jewelry and medicine bags for him in The Netherlands at paranormal exhibitions. She is also in touch with Chief Eagle, whom she me together with Michael Redsky. This was a very special meeting, he adopted her as his granddaughter and she received a native passport from him.

Well ... I guess that says it all. The redskymedicine.com site is off the air. I found another link between the two from 2010 here : http://www.hallohorstaandemaas.nl/michael-redsky-neemt-cd-op-in-horst
Translated:

Quote
American Michael Redsky recorded a CD last Saturday in the Fine Tune Studio of Marcel Siebers and Peter Muijsenberg in Horst (Netherlands). The singer-songwriter is a direct descendant of the Cherokee Indians. The CD will come out in several weeks in both the United States and The Netherlands.

Michael Redsky (46) will be in The Netherlands as of March 23 and travels back to the United States in April 13. He wants to pass on his roots to others with his spiritual music. Some time ago Michael redsky came in touch with Marcel Siebers and Peter Muijsenberg while he was visitng with Jackie Guelen in Castenray in The Netherlands. Jackie is known within indian culture as 'Wolf Who Speaks'.
The remarkable thing is that the American records his CD in Horst. "That has everything to do with the fact that Peter and Maqrcel give off good vibes. They feel the same thing as I do when I make music. Everything I do, I do from my heart, pure and honest. I see it as a kind of spiritual healing in which your inner self comes to rest," says Redsky. He knew what he had to do from the age of seven. During his youth he spent many hours with his tribal elders who taught him the indian culture.

People wanting to meet Redksy can do so on April 10 at Natural Body Balance in Horst. This is where the American gives a workshop called 'Stone People's Medicine', in which he uses crystal skulls. The skulls are meant to be a tool to help improve and broaden participants' spirituality. The workshop is from 10.00 to 16.30 and a maximum of ten people can participate.

Is this by any chance the same Michael Redsky exposed as the fraud Michael Hester ?!

As for Wolf Who Speaks, it looks as if she now goes by the name Chanouk according to her Twitter account https://twitter.com/chanouk  This way I found her Facebook account http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jackies-Traveling-Trading-Post/145737922156303?ref=stream

There's more intertwined links which I'll delve into, but this is what I found so far.

Oh wow, thanks Autumn,  I missed that one.  This man named Chief Big Eagle ... he just gave a Dutch woman a tribal enrollment card?! That's not even possible, is it? And is she referring to Chief Big Eagle Aurelius H. Piper. January 30, 1915 - August 3, 2008 ?

... William Wout de Klerk ...

LH does it look like these two are still active?

Yes, like Ingeborg said he's still active. Also on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/352141568159003/

Willem Wout has been trained by the Lakota Indians in the United States and is a Shaman. I know Willem Wout as an intelligent, strong man with a loving and caring attitude who is able to create the proper conditions in which you can experiment, heal and grow.

This particular ceremony was held last Saturday. Through the organizer Ben van Duijn I also found de Klerk's FB account:

The two Facebook links in the quote are not available any more.
