The Healing Field Initiation

7-day Shamanic intensive with Roel Crabbe

February 21 – 28th 2025 – Frandeux – Belgium

“When we become a channel for the Healing Field, we step into a dimension of endless possibilities and healing potential. A dimension of the purest light in which our connection with Spirit blossoms.

In “The Healing Field Initiation”, I will be sharing my personal spiritual practice, methods, and ceremonies for allowing your relationship to the Healing Field to flourish and making you a vessel for its healing light.” – Roel Crabbe

*** UPDATE: doors for the 2025 retreat have opened. Do not wait to register, the previous edition was sold out. 

The 7-day ceremonial intensive where Roel shares the practices he uses himself to awaken the soul.  

In this shamanic intensive, Roel will teach you his personal spiritual work for healing which is the result of studying shamanism, ceremonial work and healing for over 29 years. In this profound 7-day retreat, you will be immersed in profound practices, healing meditations, long shamanic ceremonies with ancestral healing songs, and group healing work.

‘The Healing Field’ is an initiation for people who feel called to sink deep into ‘the field of healing’ and become a channel for the healing light.

Roel is assisted in this 7-day event by his soul brother and multi-instrumentalist Patrik Niels, with whom he has guided sound rituals and ceremonies for over ten years.

The Healing Field: A Profound 7-day Shamanic Initiation

There is a healing power that can guide us. It is intelligent and alive. A power that, when we surrender to it, lifts us to a whole new state of being.

Shamanism is “Spirit-driven”: the shaman becomes a channel for the healing powers that want to work through him to bring harmony.

In “The Healing Field,” Roel will take you into a direct connection with Spirit and learn the methods he uses to become a channel for the work he puts out into the world and shares with so many.

  • What does it mean to be a vessel for Spirit?
  • What are the different levels of connection, and how can we focus on the highest path?
  • What does it mean to truly stand in a Healing Power?
  • How can we embrace the soul-gifts we feel in our hearts?
  • How can we open our whole being, including our bodies, to the higher frequencies of love and healing?

Roel shares his methods for becoming a vessel for “the Healing Field”

This shamanic intensive is not about learning techniques or gaining knowledge but is a deep immersion into the field of Light that Roel has been working with for over 29 years.

This is a profound initiatory experience with long sessions of silence and deep ceremony. A sacred space in which you can truly recharge and sink deeper into your essence and personal connection with Spirit.

Besides this work, in which you can rejuvenate to the deepest parts of your being, Roel will also perform healing ceremony for the topics that are present in the group. He will hold group-healing sessions where he gives direct healing to participants and the circle.

The Healing Field is not a workshop but a profound 7-day ceremonial circle in which you enter this healing dimension with Roel, and we surrender to the healing work that wants to happen.

You will learn to work with:

  • Body-based ceremony in which your body becomes one with Spirit
  • Breathwork for your light body and cultivating unified devotion to the light
  • Purification Ceremonies for releasing blocked energy
  • Spirit-Practice ceremonies for learning to work with “the Healing Field” to embrace all soul-parts that long for healing
  • Group rituals in which you receive and bring healing to the collective
  • Daily Ancestral Healing song ceremonies in which you are immersed in the healing songs Roel is know for
  • Mandita practice: Ceremonies coming from his over 20 years of studying with his teacher and Indonesian ritual master, taking you beyond the mind and into direct connection with what his teacher calls ‘High Spirit’
  • Soul & Silence ceremonies
  • Working with ‘the Healing Field’ to receive guidance and empowerment for your soul’s journey.

A journey of personal and collective healing

The Healing Field is for people who feel called to become a channel for Healing Power for themselves and the collective.

Willingness to work together in silence and surrender to long ceremonies are key.

The Healing Field is a deep dive into the ceremonial healing field so familiar in Roel’s work. We work together with gentleness, love, and compassion for all that lives within ourselves and the collective.

A 7-day Immersion into Roel his deepest ceremonial work

Roel will be assisted during these 7 days by his soul brother and multi-instrumentalist Patrik Niels.

For more than 10 years, they have performed sound rituals that take you into the dimension of the soul and pure spirit.

After amazing Healing Field retreats in 2023 and 2024, they will collaborate again create this field of light together.

A transformational journey of 42 days

A profound initiation like the Healing Field requires careful integration. Therefore, there will be an online session before and after the retreat to prepare you for the initiation and help you integrate the work into your own life.

Five days before The Healing Field retreat, you will join the international group of participants to start your preparation together in ceremony.

One month after the 7-day retreat, you will come together again to deepen your integration period, allowing the energy of the work to anchor further.

You will learn to truly anchor the Healing Field energy in your life so that its deep gifts don’t just dissipate, but become part of your energy field and way of life.

This deep journey is not for everyone

Important: This workshop does not focus on mental knowledge but on creating a deep connection to the realms of the soul and working with frequency and healing energy. The foundation of this work is daily and long immersions in ceremony, working with silence, ritual music and healing song. A willingness to learn from experience and not the mind is key in ceremonial practice.

Requirement for participation:

  • Previous experience with Roel’s way of working (preferably in person)
  • Willingness to work in silence and ceremony for extended periods.
  • As in all Roel his in-depth trainings, you will be offline for the complete program (unless in case of emergency)

Do not apply if you are in a period of intense imbalance 
Your safety and the group’s safety are of utmost importance in all Roel his trainings. Due to the profoundly deep nature of this work, this intensive is not for you if you are struggling with psychological or emotional instability or are triggered easily by healing work related to trauma.

If that is the case in this moment of your life, you will receive more support from Roel, his guided meditations, accompanied by the work you are hopefully doing with a therapist or counselor.

Your stay at the Healing Field

The Healing Field is hosted at the beautiful castle of Frandeux. (South of Belgium) The Domain is located in a tranquil nature reserve. On the Domain is a beautiful lake that is excellent for swimming. Adjoining the lake is 25 acres of private forest with a beautiful river valley where you can walk freely and enjoy what the seasons have to offer. In the courtyard, you can find a Celtic sacred mount that is dated from 1st century BC and was used as a power place.

So imagine old castle rooms, a pristine workshop space, a wonderful finish sauna that is available during lunch breaks and evenings, and the deep focus, where we as a group go offline to connect to the power of the amazing work Roel and his team bring forward…

What previous participants say about this course

“My path is clearer, my heart is brighter and I feel that I finally have what I need to pursue the next step on this journey with connection through the voice. Thank you from all my heart – you are masters in what you do!”

Ingela Palmquist

“I only can say: Beyond all expectations! Kevin and Susana shared their knowledge, passion and heart with us and built a space where we all could be like we are, without being judged and step deeper into being a musician. And it can’t be said in words how miraculous it is when 20 like-minded musicians come together to create music out of love and consciousness. It felt like heaven! <3”

Tina Elay

“As someone who’s dreamed for years of leading chants this retreat was a dream come true. Kevin & Susana brought together a soul group with the same shared dream and are continuing to support us to realise it in a spirit of true community.”

Tanishka

“Susana and Kevin help you to uncover all that in their lovingly, generous, non-judging atmosphere. Together with all the other participants of the course it is a beautiful journey opening our hearts, feeling and helping each other, and feeling connected to our deepest core connected to the source of all. Be part of it the next time :))“
