Written to us

• The Magic Garden's ceremonies and music are, for me, unmatched and unparalleled. It is deeply moving and so healing. THANK YOU!

• The Magic Garden – the name actually says more than many words can. It IS a magical place. Created by magical people. A gathering point for magical energies. A magnet for magical souls.

  I have been on several journeys, and every time in a safe setting, in a healing embrace and with present guidance. The way Ecaterina and Jacob nurture the inner healer, and the trust in it, is beautiful and contagious.

  Jacob's music is powerful and supports, in a magical way, what is happening… Ecaterina's voice is as gentle as an angel's and her healing abilities are beyond description. And the two of them together create the wildest carpet of sound for my very own journey. The team creates safety. I can safely set off. I can safely come home. And I can grow from it. It IS magical.

• It has been one of the most important decisions I have made in my life.
  Warm regards,

• I have had the pleasure of visiting, following and travelling with TMG for about three years now. It is really challenging to put words to my exact experiences during this period, but I will make an attempt to the best of my ability. The pure dedication, fantastic craftsmanship, energy, community, love, support, joy – and need I mention dedication...? is – in my humble opinion – simply out of this world. The amount of hard work and pure love from TMG – The Magic Garden – and the fantastic helpers at TMG to help me and my fellow travellers and seekers is, and has been, nothing short of astonishing.

  What I have gained or experienced since I got to know TMG, I cannot say precisely, but I can certainly say that a lot has happened for me in the ways I tackle personal obstacles/challenges and in my ways in life in general. Those who know what I am referring to will not doubt the challenge I face in describing exactly what has happened inside my personal being, strange as it is, but to all of you who don't know what I am trying to aim at, I can only say this: “If you are challenged in one way or another in your ability to handle personal problems... be it at work or in your personal life (partner, children, spouse, parents or whatever), TMG and the wealth of wisdom and love that can be found there can probably be of some kind of help to you. Don't be afraid to venture into your inner self and look for answers on ways to – not just cope, but really come face to face with your own inner demons – just do it”.

  What I say is of course entirely my own view, but as far as I know, no one can assist you better on this journey than the fantastic and lovely tribe at The Magic Garden. My warmest and most sincere recommendations go to The Magic Garden – and of course especially to Jacob and Ecaterina.

  With love

• I have been on 4 inner journeys in the Magic Garden – and the manifestation is seriously magical.. At the end of this week, my heart signs – that I will love and honour my life's dream. I am moving to Funen together with Adrian and Trine Egsholm – and our lovely animals. In a magical way, this pearl of nature – with park, forest, lake and space – becomes the setting for our dreams to unfold. On 9 December we will stand with the keys in our hands – the new year will be toasted in among old trees and new friends – and 2019 is all about growth. We are completely filled with joy and gratitude. Thank you for you – Ecaterina Condrea and Jacob Sebastian Rose Moth. In a magical way you pass on your knowledge and life's work. My heart loves you, and the love, inspiration and trust you share with the world – creates miracles

• I have experienced quite a lot of negative and traumatic things in my short life, which, according to the doctors, required antidepressant treatment because of earlier depression and anxiety.

  But I have been free of medication for 6 months. And then I came across The Magic Garden when I googled plant medicine treatment.

  But had I been through this indescribable, wonderful, soul-searching and magical journey 14–15 years ago, I would, quite certainly, have avoided medical treatment, psychiatrists and psychologists. I am 100% sure of that.

  After my fantastic inner journey, I have also gained a completely different, positive and get-things-done way of thinking.

  Yes, thanks to just one ceremony with Ecaterina and Jacob in The Magic Garden. I thought it was a heavenly experience.

  You should know that the fear of going through this inner journey was very great. But I wanted it, I wanted to experience the magical. Because I thought, I didn't want to miss this fantastic transformation I might go through, towards the positive.

  I won't hide that I was incredibly nervous in the days before this inner journey – I will of course admit that. But what for?

  Because to this day I keep thanking myself, all the time, for taking the step. It has given me so much good.

  From the moment I stepped in at Jacob and Ecaterina's, I felt I was in the best hands. I felt 100% safe the whole way through.

  The price of the ceremony is such a fair price. And had it cost double, it would be worth the journey. Your wellbeing and the good health that come out of it can't be measured in money.

  My husband has told me that I may not quite notice it myself, or see it in myself. But he says he experiences a much happier wife, who looks fresher, and who has become SO much more aware of her feelings, thoughts and reactions.

  THANK YOU SO MUCH TO JACOB AND ECATERINA

• Dear Ecaterina and Jacob,

  Thank you so much for the ceremony, I had an incredibly deep and meaningful journey! I am very grateful to you and all the helpers. You create an environment so calming and supportive that just seeing you again took me straight back to the same relaxed feeling I had the first time. And the music you play is incredibly helpful in facilitating the journey.

  I send all the good energy and vibes to all of you for being such kind and helpful people ♥️

  Thanks again,
  Best wishes

• My heart is filled with gratitude for this truly magical place with completely dedicated, wonderful people who perform miracles, make the world a better place and much more... Thank you to Ecaterina and Jacob Moth and their fantastic team of excellent facilitators, musicians, helpers and passionate souls. I have taken part in several ceremonies (both group and individual) in The Magic Garden.

  For me it was not only life-changing but also life-saving. I feel blessed to have found the right place, which I had been looking for since meeting Stanislaf Grof. I have been searching for my life path and my place in the world for many years. There have been periods when I took breaks from the searching and simply lived life itself, in all its many-sided variety. The path was often painful and mostly lonely. In a way, I can understand all the people who have really been on the edge, because I have been there myself.

  But I am grateful for my existential, philosophical and psychological crisis, which I had about 5 years ago. It led me to this place where I stand now, with restored faith in life, restored contact with the infinite source and my true spirituality and nature. And a deeper purpose in life. Everything that had prepared me (my own mistakes, searches, practices, experiences with both the light and the dark sides of spirituality, travels, nature, science, art, holotropic breathwork... art therapy and other forms of therapy) was not in vain. It all led me to explore further, even deeper layers of consciousness and the subconscious, and to work with sacred medicine.

  The whole healing process I have been through, with the help of the Axis Mundi music and the sacred medicine, has been profound and has taken away a lot of fear and trauma. I came closest to my grief and loss, and it has been transformative. I have great respect for this form of therapy, because I see and experience the intelligence within it. It leads straight to the core. In other forms of therapy, processes can be blocked, or have their course set by the ego's tectonic plates. Here you go straight to the source. The sacred medicine “knows” what your system can handle and what you need, where you are now.

  I could also feel how my family had been affected. They live in another country and know nothing about my ceremonies. I have experienced that I have not only healed myself, but also my family members at a distance. They are much better today, which means a lot and is very important to me.

• Thank you for your update and follow-up. I feel fantastic 🧠🤗I have 100% contact with the Universe🙏I have good dreams. I am gathering a lot of experiences, writing them down and will come back. Now I know why “most” come back 🤗it tells me that I too will come home to The Magic Garden

  You – all of you – are The Gate to the Universe!

• Dear Ecaterina and Jacob

  From my innermost soul, from the heart, thank you for you. Thank you for making it possible for me to have my heart opened fully and completely through your magical garden. It is so big – and I am very, very, very grateful. There are no greater gifts to give – and I really want to do what I can to take care of this gift. I am sure that everything from now on will be exciting – and I am going to spend more time on sound, song and yoga. Because these are such powerful tools for rediscovering the joy of life – the joy of everything.

  This morning I discovered that I can actually sing (I need to practise, of course) and reach quite high notes. Quite a big surprise when all my life I have been told that I can't sing – and then started to believe it myself. Quite frightening, really, all the things we tell ourselves we can't do.....The singing, by the way, fits perfectly with a kundalini book by Gurmukh I am reading at the moment – where I had just read about the throat chakra, how important it is to sing and chant – because the more you come home to yourself, the better your sound. I can only confirm that it is absolutely, absolutely true.-:)

  The journey was completely divine – and of course I am still in the middle of integration...feel it was an “enlightenment experience” – and I also realise that it is so big that it must be shared/lived out in one way or another.

  The music from the Victory ceremony, session 5, is luckily helping me wonderfully to keep the magic and love, joy and creativity that the diversity of the world/universe/galaxies holds in its essence.

  I had fallen asleep to the Viktory music last night – but woke up at session 5 – could really feel how love flows through the music and has a healing effect on the body and on the feeling/the insights I got on the journey. It is quite wonderfully amazing. And it was after this that I got the idea that I should try to sing...

  Have yet another absolutely fantastic day – you two fantastically beautiful and loving people.

  Sun, joy and love … and lots of colours ❤️💙💜from me here.

• I want to thank Ecaterina and Jacob for a fantastic experience, I am so deeply grateful! It was uniquely mind-blowing and fantastic. I didn't actually think it was that deep during the ceremony, but I can see that I have had some completely transformative and life-changing visions all the same. I wrote down the whole experience this morning and the process is still working in me. I still feel nauseous, but I go into it and feel it is there for a reason. I went for a walk in the forest this morning and I feel so strongly connected to nature, the animals are so close to me. And I have an overflowing feeling of love for everything. And not least, it is simply a miracle that all the pain in my body is gone! And the feeling that I can heal myself (and others) is indescribable. So thank you, thank you so much🌞😘

  With love,

• Being in The Magic Garden is like being in an ashram: a truly authentic connection to your inner self arises, and release, because it is an incredibly safe and non-judgemental space. I went from finding it hard to feel myself to finding myself in my process, right where I am. Afterwards I felt a lot of lightness and more joy, in a way that was body-aware and grounded, my thoughts were far less invasive, and I found it easier to slow down and find calm and loving authenticity.

  I was very impressed by Jacob and Ecaterina's work, which is very professional and integrating and incredibly loving and respectful. I have travelled in other places where I didn't receive the same integration at all, where you are left with the feeling of not having processed a whole lot of energy, but that is not the case at all here in The Magic Garden. I felt seen, heard and integrated in my experience in a truly down-to-earth way that is deeply healing. I can recommend this place to anyone looking for a safe, warm-hearted place to turn inwards.

  AHO AND THANK YOU!!!

• I have been in therapy with Jacob. Over my life I have been in therapy for more than 6 years in total, with different forms of therapy and therapists. With that experience I can, with peace of mind, warmly recommend Jacob. Here, too, his skills are absolutely top-notch. Jacob's form of therapy is effective and gave me quick results that I still benefit from. Thank you from the heart! Besides, I have rarely met such pure and powerful energy as Jacob and Ecaterina hold. And the skill and magic in their ceremonies and events ♥️

  With love

• Thank you my dear, you warm my heart
  I can also feel that instead of going backwards, these ceremonies are helping me to unfold & move forward.
  I have waaaaaited a long time to blossom & spread my wings & shine my light
  So I am deeply grateful that you & all of you are helping me in that process
  Thank you for you & thank you for all of you & thank you for your beautiful music & your beautiful visions & your beautiful energies.

• Dear Ecaterina and Jacob, once again a thousand million thanks for creating this magical place. I am very grateful that in this life I have been given these insights, which you have passed on through the Magic Garden. You are such fantastic and inspiring people. And it is so important that the joy of life is shared with many and understood.

  Thank you from the heart.

• Thank you for my first journey with you. My body and mind are working flat out and I can feel my journey is under way. Already looking forward to the next trip. And thank you, Ecaterina Moth, for the way you are. I felt safe the whole way and sang my way through my long, hard drive to Aarhus on Saturday evening 🙏💥❤️

• Thank you for a very healing and beautiful ceremony. I came into contact with a deep grief but received so much help, support, love and healing throughout the whole process that I almost feel I was carried through. I am both moved and grateful for your dedication, care and presence 🙏❤️

  Thank you from the heart

• Dear Ecaterina
  I just want to say a thousand thanks for the women's ceremony. It was a beautiful experience, and I came to trust you so deeply as a person and as a facilitator. You did it with great sensitivity, calm, trust and strength.

  Afterwards I thought that I probably asked a lot of you, with all the places I wanted hands and song for! But you should know that you have made a big difference for my body. Your energy and your tones have set good things in motion that I can still feel. I think I have more power in my voice, more fullness in my breathing, and my whole body feels softer. Especially my feet – they are warm and soft, where they are usually cold and stiff. You have healing hands :) And voice!
  Thank you, thank you so much for everything – and see you again!

• Thoughts after the ceremony.
  for example the fruit I was given to eat right after the ceremony. It was as if I was eating fruit for the first time. As if I had never tasted strawberries, oranges, watermelon, fresh apricots and strawberries. I could taste every shade of flavour quite clearly, almost exploring it. New. Just like a little child tasting fruit for the first time.

  And that all the things I experienced during the ceremony – they were all connected to the same thing – namely love. Everything was a part of love. It all hung together.

  everything was so simple and obvious and straightforward and clear.

  I was connected to everything at once and it all vibrated with waves of energy and light.

  I was completely open and bare – I had let go of EVERYTHING. I was and I am...

  And a strange sense that I could feel my body so clearly, and everything else around me, while at the same time I was somewhere else... and yet deep inside myself. My sense of time had completely dissolved.

  The music guided me on my journey and made sure I kept my focus, so I could let go completely and surrender totally.

  I felt completely safe and I wasn't afraid of anything at all...

  I had a huge feeling of freedom throughout the whole journey. And it is directly connected to love. Love, openness, trust, safety and freedom = love. And with that, total surrender. Pure love. Unconditional love.

  I can only love others if I love myself unconditionally.

  It is my task to spread love everywhere on my path and, not least, to be loving to myself and love myself unconditionally.

  What I experienced can't be described in words at all. It is much bigger than words. There are no words for it at all. It sits deep inside me.

  It is a great release.

  And how wonderful, after the ceremony, to sit down and make a drawing and work through the experience in pictures. A fantastic way of thinking back from start to finish. And yes, it doesn't end there at all. It is an ongoing process.

  Thank you for you, Ecaterina and Jacob (and all the others who were there that day), and for helping me further on my journey here in life. You do a fantastic job and are very inspiring, and you are great healers, and you do it with great love and respect ❤️ Hugs and love

• Thank you for your extended angel warmth, arms, wings and heart.
  I have let go of part of everything I have been bound up in all my life.
  Light and Magical life

• Once again, with all my heart, thank you for opening this magical, interdimensional portal, for the meeting with myself, for your loving presence, for the place, for the music, for facilitating such a profound healing and transformation.

• I want to say that I feel fantastic 🙂

  I feel a great deal of love, and I see other people in a new way, as it were. As if I can see the pain I myself experienced during the ceremony – it is in them too, just beneath the surface. It gives people such a beautiful fragility, and it is hard to feel threatened by others when you see that this is how it is.

  Somewhere inside, we are all like children, with innocent needs, and some of our grown-up reactions of hardness and arrogance are just attempts to hide a soft core of love inside that was once hurt. But the deepest wish in all of us is love.

  And perhaps most important of all, I feel connected to God again. And so to a deeper, loving part of myself. A connection I feel I have more or less lost over the last 5–6 years. It is just so big for me to feel it again. I feel hopeful about my life again, with an awareness that I am basically a good person (and I believe it, it is not just something I am trying to tell myself). I simply enjoy being.

  I pray that these changes have come to stay, that the process doesn't stop here but will continue. Perhaps with another ceremony at some point, that may well be. I don't think my journey is over – rather that it has begun..

  Once again, thank you so much for your help and love and the space

• Thank you for a fantastic journey. It has been such a powerful experience, which I look after and carry inside me as something very precious. It is the most beautiful experience I have had so far. I came into contact with an indescribable grief, but it was so right and at the same time so beautiful and liberating that it cannot be described. I came into contact with the innermost me…under all the layers and all the outer things I have been hidden away in. In there was the true core, and it was beautiful and liberating. I came into contact with feelings and experiences that I have struggled for years in therapy to reach. This journey has been more meaningful and given me greater insight than hundreds of therapy sessions have managed in my whole life.

  My eyes have been opened to things that had been hidden from me. I gained an insight into the meaning of love and forgiveness. I have been given a gift to take with me, in the love I feel for my children and want to show them and give them. I was allowed to see that joy can be a part of my life. Life can be fun and light, and people can be trusted.

  I am grateful and set free, and I must travel on. There is a calling inside me and I have to go that way. I am looking forward to it, because I know it will be a journey that will enrich me and make my walk on earth light and beautiful.

  I hope that many others will start on that journey, because I am convinced that it makes us better, more loving and more insightful people.

  Dear Jacob and Ecaterina, thank you from the heart for making this possible. You are very special people who mean a great deal to many.

• Competent, warm-hearted, respectful and professional in working with you❤️ the magic garden is the place where you can safely throw control overboard and give yourself over to your own process.

• When I was about to go, two and a half months ago, I was told that I had to take a break from my ADHD medication. I had been taking it for 10 years before that. And I was quite worried about how that would go. And I was told that I also couldn't take medication for three weeks after I had been on the journey.
  So I had to go without my medication for five weeks. And I was very worried about how my behaviour and things like that would be along the way, in the five weeks I wasn't taking my medication.

  And then, when I had been up there on the journey, it actually turned out that I didn't need the medication. When I look at my medication, I get this feeling of, nah, I don't feel like taking that.

  And yes, it's almost three months ago now, and I haven't taken medication since, at all. And I don't feel I need it.
  My behaviour is completely fine, and I don't have those swings. I don't need to regulate my behaviour the same way with that ADHD medication as I did before.

  Now my everyday life just works really well. I still have a few challenges with structuring things. But that's okay. But everything to do with behaviour and sleeping at night and all that kind of thing, it has completely levelled out.

  Yes, it's fantastic. And I have also had another journey, two and a half months after my first journey.
  And it has just been strengthened. I feel I have found even more inner calm. Things are just being tidied up, quietly and calmly.

  Where normally the medication just put a damper on things when there was unrest or a muddle in my thoughts, these inner journeys do something completely different. They create the calm. I mean, they give the calm. They don't put a lid on it. They just confront and show what needs to be done.

  And tidy up the room. Things just get tidied up, tidied up, tidied up, tidied up, tidied up.
  And more and more calm just comes.
  Thank you so much.

• First of all I want to thank the gods that The Magic Garden has manifested here on earth. The Magic Garden is magical. As simple as that, and I know that it has helped and will help many people on their way in life on earth. A big, heartfelt thank you to the whole crew on this galactic inner journey, which I have enjoyed enormously, and it is not the last time. The Magic Garden will be seeing me many times.

  With deep peace & balance
  From love

• Dear Ecaterina and Jakob
  The ceremony stayed in me for several months, when I was filled with the images and the music I remember from the journey. My mother died on 3 January, at the age of 91, and as I sat holding her hand until her last breath, I felt strongly that both my late father and my brother were close by, and the images of my brother's long, energetic hug during the ceremony came back very strongly.

  The ceremony opened my eyes to how much energy we are surrounded by, and the dimensions that are also around us give me a great sense of safety in everyday life. That there is so much around us that wants to help...

  I will definitely come back to you one day during the new year. The ceremony has made me curious about what more there is...

  Thank you so much for your great and important work, I look forward to seeing you again,
  Hugs and more hugs

• My own spiritual journey of development has taken me far and wide across the landscape, and here The Magic Garden stands like a clear and shining star. The combination of science, healing and music is for me, as for Terence Mckenna, the essence of modern shamanism, and these are exactly the balls that are masterfully juggled in the garden. It is a spaceship that manages at the same time to reach out to ancient traditions as well as to modern technology and science.

  Working with the medicine is a great responsibility, but I have always felt in safe hands in the garden, and have benefited from Ecaterina's and Jacob's great experience, as well as from everything the guests and helpers of the place have to offer. I can only give my warmest recommendation to anyone who has the courage to work on themselves through the medicine: make the trip to The Magic Garden in Fredensborg.

  Best regards

• For me it is a great gift of release to have you as facilitators on the journeys.
  I can clearly feel that I have once again let go of old trauma material.
  Now, in the integration that follows, there is more calm, lightness, presence and trust in me.
  Love

• I feel much better than before the ceremony. It is as if I have got my spark for life back. On a deep level I have understood that I can live my life for me, for my own sake – all my life I have been in service and given life, energy and support to others, and I was going under from it. So the underlying ‘contracts’ have been cancelled, and that has set me free in a new way. I am still in a transformation and have many dreams, but it is a really good place to be and not so much grief any more:-)

• Dear both of you
  THANK YOU SO MUCH for a fantastic ceremony on Friday. It was a fantastic experience and it is all still alive in my system. I am so grateful to have been part of it and to be allowed to be in ‘joy’ and ‘have fun’ in my process and experience – it was so beautiful.

  You are skilled and I will definitely come back when everything is integrated and I feel into it again. Thank you for being so welcoming and taking such good care of all of us who were there. The music, the voices, the atmosphere, the energy was absolutely fantastic. THANK YOU for you and thank you for this time.
  Hugs from here

• My intention in taking part in the ceremony was to free myself from the mental cycle of experiencing life as an ‘ongoing obligation’ – a never-ending ‘To Do’ list that left little room for joy, expression or simply being. The preparation e-mail the week before was really clear, and I was grateful for that, because I was nervous. The welcome circle really set the tone and the loving atmosphere, and Jakob gave clear instructions that were simple enough for me to remember during the journey.

  As for the journey itself, what I experienced was the superb ‘holding’ of energy and space by the whole team, the music, the singing, the gentle attention and care, and the absolute mastery in the timing of everything as the energies shifted. A truly loving space was created that felt safe enough for me to breathe deeply into very deep grief and burnout / break the mental cycle of judgement, and to come into a more accepting and loving space of what life is, and where joy has a place. I really enjoyed sitting in the late afternoon sun and taking in the fantastic garden afterwards.

  In the weeks and months since the journey, the mental circling has disappeared – completely. A week after the journey I did feel a wave of “what am I doing here”, but it went after a couple of hours, and I haven't had it since. I feel more peace than I ever thought I could, and I am getting a clearer sense of what joys are available and how to reach them. My capacity to experience love has grown enormously. I am grateful beyond words, and will come back to journey more.

  Hugs and love

• I have had a fantastic experience with you, and it has helped me a lot. Since my visit I have been working on the vision I had. I started upper secondary school (HF). I think the ceremony showed me the courage to believe in myself enough to do it without judging myself.

  The week after the visit was fantastic. I have never felt so good before, and I experienced that if I work on myself, I could end up having the life I want.

  The most beautiful thing was the love I felt. Love for myself, love for everyone and love for life. It made me realise that love is everything. And that love is the key for me to be happy.

  As a child, I grew up in a home with alcohol and drug problems. It left a lot of bad tendencies in my personality. I have tried to put it right on my own before, but didn't have the right tools to do it properly.

  The ceremony showed me how to look after myself. I experienced that life was beautiful, and that I didn't need to feel pain. Before, I believed that my pain was part of my incarnation, and that I would feel it all my life.

  I am so sincerely grateful for what you have done for me, and look forward to seeing you again.
  Thank you so much for your care.

• I feel fantastic!
  I can definitely feel a difference, that something good has happened to me!
  I feel I have become more open, listening and present, and I wake up with a smile on my lips every morning. So lovely!

  I can also feel I need one more journey, once I have “recovered” a little. So I will definitely be back.

  It has been so lovely to meet you! I am deeply grateful for your warmth and kindness! I think it is so well done that you have devoted your lives to helping others and showing them the way! Great respect!

• I am very impressed by how much loving soul and inspiration there is in the magic garden, both inside and out. Ecatarina and Jacob are dedicated souls, and together with their skilled therapists they lovingly send you off on your journey and are with you in the difficult moments, take your hand, stroke your soul with music and heavenly voices that make you let go of what needs to be let go of in body, soul and spirit – am SO grateful.

• A very beautiful and magical place, created by even more beautiful, magical and loving people. I experienced an incredible transformation. When I am in nature, I can feel my surroundings so much more, everything looks much more beautiful, and I can see the life in nature again. And I feel so much more alive. I feel much more powerful, aware and self-confident. Truly, so much has changed – I didn't know that such a transformation is possible in such a short time. A truly powerful and healing place.

• The ceremony showed me how to take care of myself. I experienced that life was beautiful, and that I don't need to feel pain. Before that, I thought that my pain was part of my incarnation, and that I would feel it all my life.

  But I am still struggling with a lot of things. Now that it is a couple of months since the ceremony, I feel that I am back to some of the negative energies that have control over me and my life. I feel I have been given some tools to help myself, but some of my problems are so deeply rooted in my personality that I need more help to work with them.

  I have thought about doing another ceremony, but I have been worried about whether it was too soon. What do you think? I have the feeling that my everyday life has started again. The fact that I started upper secondary school (HF) really gives me a lot to work with. And I often don't have the energy to be the best version of myself when I am confronted with my demons.

  I am so sincerely grateful for what you are doing for me, and I look forward to seeing you again. Thank you so much for your care.

• I am in the middle of a huge phase of transformation and integration that makes each day so different from the next. There are a few ups and downs in everything at the moment, but my basic feeling is that it is a good thing and that I am on my way to the right place.

  The clearest change right now is that my restlessness has disappeared. It simply isn't there any more, and that has made room for sooooo much calm and contact with myself.

  It is wonderfully lovely, and it has been a wish for many, many years. I am standing somewhere now with a blank page in front of me; my plans haven't changed, but my relationship to each thing I do has changed. I feel myself, I breathe in, and then I really decide whether what I am doing is good or bad for me. I am getting to know myself anew, and I am really happy with the way I am. When I am tired I rest, and when I have the energy for it I give, and it feels more right than anything else. I have understood what it means to give from pure love, and it is simply the greatest thing, but it requires me to be so sharp about taking care of myself, so that I have something to give from. And a balance between not giving everything, but keeping something for myself. It is a balance I am exploring right now and slowly getting better and better at, but it is all so new to me.

  You are wonderful, I am so grateful and happy that you are you and that you do what you do. I have been helped to merge with myself, and now I am beginning to learn to take care of myself. It is a fantastic journey I am on now, and I feel so incredibly lucky that you have created the setting and the support for my transformation back to myself.

  I look forward to seeing you again and I wish you all the best
  Hugs, love

• I can't even explain what is happening in my life right now. Manifesting and experiencing everyday miracles. Forever grateful! This was the push I needed. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!!! I love you all.

• The magic garden IS a magical place, there should be no doubt about that at all. It is a portal to the other side of consciousness, the side that often can't be found in busy, hurried everyday life. Also a portal to healing and to the expansion of the spirit of the subject and the self. It is, however, just as much a portal where your deeper and more existential fear will often be met as your ‘gatekeeper’ to the further development of your self.. whether it be past mental traumas from, for example, birth, broken or misunderstood bonds in love, or the longing for higher reconciliation and openness within the reach of consciousness and love. Yes, then it is a place where exactly such self-blocking limits one may have are broken much more easily, releasing the intuitively reconciling and healing stream (e-motion) in the self, and in the whole body too... But also a place where the contact with the collective consciousness is often much stronger than you normally experience it, and why your calm and preparation will benefit you. If you keep your honesty and love foremost, though, there is nothing to fear for that reason either..😉

  It will also be worth considering other complementary forms of therapy in combination with this one, such as holotropic breathing exercises, yoga, body therapy, ‘Bevidsthedsberøring’ (consciousness touch), craniosacral therapy (especially good for birth traumas, e.g.), as well as natural medicine, group as well as individual sessions, etc., which Jacob and Ecatarina's sessions work very well alongside. All pain, whether it comes from the ego's self-protective primitive defence mechanisms, the self/soul or the body, can be released and brought forward here, but remember to set aside plenty of time for processing and integration in the first to several weeks afterwards, so that you get the full benefit and the release stays with you in your everyday life.

  The magic of the magic garden, however, is also the means that are used, such as: live music made in and for the movement of the moment and the course of the ceremony, and with the moods of those present; as well as shared meals and open gatherings, with respect for the vulnerability within. But it is especially the couple, Ecatarina and Jacob, who not only work in the borderland of what conventional society has yet accepted it should be able to hold, and is still toiling to cope with – it is with full dedication to their vision and dreams of a better, healthier, more sustainable and loving world that they carry a banner, and for something as personal, vulnerable and intimate as our own and shared ‘self’, its health and its well-being. That they do this with a wonderfully loving and passionate engagement, give their musical talent room in the healing events and dare to be in it, in the now and With the moods that are already there ... just waiting for light, sound, music, love and presence – yes, then all the elements are there in capital letters in their company, for inspiration and happiness with this fantastic couple.

  The warmest regards

• Thank you for a great experience. What lovely surroundings, I can certainly recommend you 😊❤️🌺🎸

• First of all, thank you from the heart 💜🙏 for a very lovely and safe weekend and ceremony with you.
  So much loving care you give 🙏
  It is a great gift you have to offer.
  Once again, journeying has been very releasing and full of insight for my psyche.

• Thank you so much.
  Both for the work at the retreat, but also for taking on the role of healers and doing this work.

  You are absolutely fantastic musicians. Jacob, your music moved my body to let go and heal. Ecaterina, your voice gave me love and embraced me like a mother's healing hand.

  What a magical place you have. When, on Friday after our circle, I ran around the garden exploring, I felt my inner child again; I ran around, climbed and was so curious. When I stood in the tower and saw the sun to the right and the moon to the left, everything stood still for a moment. Wow.

  Thank you for your safe working space, your open arms and your humility.
  Love,

• Dear Ecaterina and Jacob
  It was a fantastic journey. I feel healed, and very, very clear in my mind.
  I feel it has been a great cleansing.
  The music carried me through. It was magical.
  I have let go of a great deal that no longer serves me.
  And it feels very, very right.
  Happy to come again another time, when my heart feels like it.

  Take care.
  Much love

• The Magic Garden is an amazing place in many ways. The unusual atmosphere of this place, as well as the beautiful nature and architecture, lets you travel deeper into your mind and reach a deep level of relaxation. Jakob and Ecaterina are wonderful people who, thanks to their dedication, knowledge and creativity, allowed me to know myself better and began to tame what was usually hidden in the area below consciousness.

  During the ceremony I experienced beauty and love that I didn't even know existed, and I feel that, thanks to this, I am becoming a more self-aware and free person.

  I also took part in a full moon healing concert. I am still very impressed by the professionalism and the music, which allowed me to experience incredible energy and put me in a positive mood for the next working week. I can only add that for a couple of days the smile didn't leave my face; this is a wonderful place that I recommend to everyone.

• Thank you from the depths of my heart.

  I am truly lost for words. It is so long since my consciousness moved so fast through time and space that I had to say OMG again and again, towards a deep and thorough cleansing...

  Thank you to all four of you from our Groundcrew, and to all you other loving souls on the team.

  My soul is calling for my creative actions…

• Set and setting really are crucial for a good journey, and I don't think it can get any better than in the magic garden; I felt completely calm and safe in Jacob's hands. Great attention to each person's state and needs, and a deep knowledge of the planes of consciousness, universes and feelings you move around in, mean that you dare to float freely. Jacob's inspiring guitar and drums and Ecatarina's beautiful singing help to support and guide you on the journey.

  Loving regards

• In a time when people are ruled by outer needs – more money and more power .... In a time when fear makes people isolate themselves and turn their backs on Mother Earth, this wonderful and sacred place exists. A garden – a round hall – two people who live by their calling and lovingly welcome everyone. Fellow human beings who defy the negative consequences and vibrations of the capitalist modern world – like seeds sprouting anew through the consumed and polluted soil... Here love can sprout anew, uncontrolled. A circle is formed.

  With trust and respect I have been guided further on my inner journey... Been given the right breath – warmth – presence – soulful and gentle tones have helped me on my way.

  Universal love has been given and received around this ceremony. Eternal gratitude to you – Jacob and Ecaterina – you are the purest and most beautiful couple I have met so far.

  OneLove*

• I am so grateful for the journeys and healing that I have received in the magic garden. I can deeply recommend taking part in a plant ceremony in this safe, kind and professional space. Big thanks to Jacob and Ecaterina for creating this and sharing their magic with us. peace.

• Ecatarina and Jakob are eminent spiritual musicians of a very special class. As God-gifted talents they move safely and at home in a spiritual universe, where they can bring the one who meditates to places where the world begins – to the centre of the cyclone. The music becomes part of the transformation of the one who meditates. A transformation into energy of infinite love, from which everything arises – if you dare to surrender. You can do so without worry, for you are in good hands.

• Thank you for a fantastic experience!
  Thank you for having such BIG hearts.
  Deep gratitude for everything that is
  also inside me

• Thank you so much for a magical weekend, wonderful people. Aho

• I am deeply grateful for my life right now, and for having found my way out of recurring depressions, which for 23 years have twisted my life. The way out is plant medicine, and it has made a huge difference for me. … changed my life, and I feel newborn and very sure that it is a lasting change. Thank you to you who have helped me on the way. Loving hugs from Rigmor.

• Once again, I have had the most incredible and fantastic experience with Ecaterina and Jacob at their development retreat, which has once again exceeded all my expectations. Everything is carried out with such care and love that you feel seen and valued from start to finish. I would also like to extend a huge thank you to all the volunteers who help make this experience possible.

  Their retreats are amazing and life-transforming, creating a safe space for everyone. Their wonderful music and singing are both moving and guiding.

  The atmosphere is filled with genuine love, and you can sense the dedication that ensures every participant has a fantastic experience.

  This retreat has given me so much insight, peace and renewed energy. I can highly recommend it to anyone seeking personal growth and deeper self-awareness.

  Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

• Dear Jacob,
  Thank you so much for the integration evening I took part in.
  It was so meaningful and strengthening after the journeys I have had. It helped me a lot to reconnect with my own inner source and powers on a new level, so that I am more aware of it. To feel my strength and energy, which I carry inside me. To trust my inner voice, spirit and body wisdom.

  And thank you for giving me the courage to share it with the world.
  Life is a fantastic journey.
  I feel richer, clearer, whole...
  Very grateful for this powerful experience.
  Kind regards,

  ❤️🙏🕊

• I have had Crohn's disease since 2017. The normal range for inflammation levels is below 50, but for five years, during which I underwent four rounds of steroid treatment, various biological injections and immunosuppressants, my results varied between 1,500 and 2,000 without significant improvement. By the end of 2022, none of these treatments worked. After just two plant medicine ceremonies, my level dropped to 91. My daily stomach pain, there since 2007, disappeared completely, and now my level is completely normal. Billions of THANKS!

Written to us

• After just one individual ceremony at The Magic Garden, the depression I had struggled with for 15 years disappeared. In the days that followed, I felt a joy in my body that hadn't been there for years. Something had changed. It was as if a light had been turned on inside me again. I wanted to be present, to show my love for my family and my fellow human beings, and to feel the meaning of life. I could feel the world, the earth, the air, the water as the magical phenomena they are.

  Now a year and a half has passed, and my melancholy has not returned. I still feel the joy bubbling inside, and I feel the connection to the healing power of nature and love every day.

• Ecaterina is a therapist I wholeheartedly recommend. She is a deeply trustworthy, professional and caring person who creates a safe space to explore even the most vulnerable areas of one's life. Her ability to support me through my inner journey has been invaluable, and her own experience of being on a similar journey makes me feel seen and understood on a completely unique level.

  Thank you, Ecaterina, for your guiding and healing presence. Your support has opened a new universe for me, and I am deeply grateful for all you have done.

• First of all, thank you Jacob and Ecaterina for creating The Magic Garden. And for being as helpful to other people as you are. You are worth your weight in gold. <3

  I decided to try a journey in the magic garden, as I had a lot of issues I wanted to release. Before the journey I had read up on deep inner journeys, but never had the courage to try it. Not until I came across The magic garden, which, for me, gave me enormous trust in the process, and just felt right. I first talked to Jacob about journeying. And afterwards got an appointment with Ecaterina. On the day I was very nervous, as it was my first journey. And the unknown can feel uncomfortable. But Ecaterina's lovely nature and great presence, and the caring person she is, gave me a huge sense of safety throughout the whole process.

  The journey was full of big experiences, enormously beautiful colours and very complex patterns. It was all truly beautiful and rewarding. I was reborn and released so many things. Things it had not been possible for me to release before the journey. Despite help from a psychologist etc. It was a truly big experience, which stopped time for a while. The journey lasted about 4 hours, but felt much longer to me. All in all, it was what I would describe as a perfect experience.

  After the journey, I went into the integration period. I have written a lot down. It is as if, bit by bit, I have got more and more out of the journey. The journey has been so enormously rewarding for me. And I am no longer the person I was before the journey. Before the journey I was a person who didn't relate to my feelings. So a lot of pent-up feelings more or less ran my life. The medicine has given me the chance, both during and after the journey, to release and to look at my life. In a completely different and, all in all, more positive way. Every stone feels turned, and I have really been allowed to look very thoroughly at myself. Ecaterina also deserves a big thank you for giving me a tool to feel into my body and release from there. It has helped me enormously, and I will be eternally grateful for that.

  Besides becoming a person who feels into my feelings instead of running away from them, I have become much more positive, optimistic and grateful for this experience that life is. I have become calmer as a person. And happy about the little things. A bonus for me is also that my drawing style has been “upgraded” since the journey. And my meditations have become even deeper since the journey.

  There are so many things I have gained from journeying that it would almost take a book to get all the details in.

  At the same time it is hard to describe in words, because it quickly sounds superficial, compared with how big my experience really was.
  I have truly received in abundance and feel both deeply humble and deeply grateful for the experience.

  All in all, a deeply healing and transformative journey.
  Thank you for you, Jacob and Ecaterina. <3

• Dearest Ecaterina

  From the bottom of my heart I can only say the same to you! Even though it was only Christian who was healed on Friday, I feel on so many levels that I was too, because of you and the person you are! I am eternally grateful to you for what you (and Jacob of course) have done for us through who you are and your universe. That day has truly changed our lives!

Written to us

• I can warmly recommend the life-transforming women's course, it is fantastic. My life has taken a quantum leap during and after this course. From the heart, thank you, beautiful, wonderful, skilled Ecaterina

• The biggest change is the self-love and the room I give myself, and it spreads to everything around me. Life is delicious.

  The most amazing thing has been being on a course with other women, where there was support, resonance and growth, each on our own and together. I would not have got to where I am today without every single woman on the course (facilitators, helpers and fellow travellers).

• I felt a great sense of frustration and of being “stuck”. That there were some issues deep in my soul and body that I couldn't reach just by talking about them with, for example, a therapist. My life story, even though it holds difficult things, was no longer explanation enough for why I held on to the pain.

  I feel I have gained insights, images and words for that intangible darkness which I could neither define nor work with before. Now I have a big task ahead of me in integrating these insights. There are still days of doubt – but optimism has taken over. And there is literally light at the end of the tunnel.

  All the support, care and love from the facilitators, the helpers and my fellow travellers has been absolutely amazing. To experience and feel your tribe – soul sisters – is simply priceless. It makes it so much easier to set out on the individual journey when you have someone to share it with and see yourself mirrored in when you land.

• I feel that something was instantly released during the journeys. As if I have been restructured inside.

  I don't know whether it is the effect of the ‘medicine’ itself, the loving space, being seen and supported so beautifully and warmly in the process, or simply having been right down in the dirt and really having had my fingers in what I used to be so afraid of.

  I think it is all of it. At any rate, I wouldn't want to be without any of the elements.

  The strong, beautiful, supportive bond in the amazing group of women I travelled with. My travel companions! I am so hugely proud of them, and my heart overflows with love for them. A huge, unexpected gift.

• Overall I was doing well, and felt I had come / have come a long way in my personal development, both physically and mentally. My nervous system, though, has been quick to flare up into anxiety for many years.

  After the course I feel a much greater calm in my system, which has come from having healed difficult things that it has not been possible to reach under more “normal” circumstances or in conventional therapy.

  I have found more calm, more grounding and a freer breath.

• Truly a life-transforming course. A very safe setting, with the chance to be vulnerable and very open. A feeling of safety all the way through. Good support and understanding from start to finish at every single ceremony.

  Already after the first ceremony my life changed markedly, and things and dreams that had felt a little distant manifested into reality, faster and unexpectedly.

  My relationships got better. My thoughts and feelings became clearer and more distinct. I came more into contact with my higher self and worked more intensely on several of my shadow sides, unresolved feelings and closest relationships.

  Each ceremony offered something new, and just what I needed to work on in myself. The integration evenings after the ceremonies were very rewarding and releasing for much of the hard inner work that followed some ceremonies, and for understanding my feelings and thoughts.

  Individual sessions with Ecaterina were incredibly helpful when I needed help, when I felt I didn't understand my thoughts, feelings and insights that had come to me during and after ceremonies.

  I would recommend that all women take part in a women's course at The Magic Garden and get a lovelier and lighter life, where their inner goddess steps forward into the light.

• For me, the women's group has been a great advantage. Feeling the power and love from the other women has been a big reason why I have been able to surrender to my process.

  Travelling together with the same women creates a fantastic shared energy and sense of safety, which is very valuable in the time between the ceremonies for the integration work, and being able to support each other – just knowing the others are there!

  The medicine chosen for this course has the magical advantage that it goes in and connects, and creates a strong bond in the group. An unreserved love for each other that strengthens insights and so one's own integration.

• The Magic Garden is indeed a very Magic place on this earth. There is so much love in every aspect of this place. It is like coming to a magic castle, as in the fairy tales. Come to a Full Moon Concert and feel the magical, divine energy. And meet Jacob and Ecaterina, who share this wonderful place with us and who are a fantastic inspiration with all their love and creativity.

  Open your hearts and enjoy it.

• So grateful that The Magic Garden exists! I was at a wonderful Full Moon concert and was completely captivated by Jacob and Peter's music and Ecaterina's unique voice. It was pure magic, all of it. A manifestation of Universal Love, presence and deeper insights...Ecaterina has a divine voice that isn't easy to put into words, but at one point I could feel Mother Earth's higher energies and Cosmic consciousness. It was a beautiful, moving and unforgettable experience. And it is just so lovely, and it warms the heart, that there are such fantastic people, a Hero and Heroine, who spread so much light in this world. Thank you!

• There was a lot that made an impression – Ecaterina's beautiful singing and dancing combined with Jacob's drumming. And then the strong colours and patterns all around on the walls. A combination of it all. It was so powerful.
  THANK YOU, THANK YOU to you both.

• The Magic Garden is an amazing place in many ways. The unusual atmosphere of this place, together with the beautiful nature and architecture, allows you to travel deeper into your mind and reach a deep level of relaxation. Jacob and Ecaterina are wonderful people who, thanks to their dedication, knowledge and creativity, allowed me to safely get to know myself better and to begin to tame what was usually hidden in the area below consciousness.

  I took part in one of the Full Moon Concerts, and I am still very impressed by the professionalism and the music, which allowed me to experience incredible energy and put me in a positive mood for the next week's work. I can only add that the smile didn't leave my face for several days. This is a wonderful place, which I recommend to everyone.

• Lovely to feel the energies flowing freely and in perfect harmony! Completely genuine, and fantastic to come so deeply into contact with the source in everything! You are so beautiful, and I completely forgot my human form for a moment. Whoo!!!

• Thank you so much for a truly deep concert – the perfect framework for meditation.

• It was a fantastic experience, THANK YOU from the heart! Wonderful music and atmosphere with Ecaterina's magical voice! I warmly recommend experiencing it in real life.

• My first Full Moon concert in the magic garden. The experience begins the moment I step through the gate. It is like entering another dimension of being. Joy and love stream towards me. Here I feel at home, simply present in the moment. The surroundings, the music, the images strengthen my innermost core. I am One with the All. Quite simply ; ) Joy, Peace and Love. The warmest greetings and Thanks.

• Fantastic Full Moon concert. Music and song reach deep into body and mind in a powerfully healing, loving and uplifting way. Pure delight. You are so super skilled. Warmest greetings

• I could feel Ecaterina's beautiful voice right into the cells of my body, and the calm it gave me for a long time afterwards.

• I love Ecaterina's healing voice <3
