The Healing Field Initiation 2027
7-day Shamanic intensive with Roel Crabbé
May 7 – 14th, 2027 – Château 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
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, the result of 30 years of studying shamanism, ceremonial work, and healing. 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 acquiring techniques or expanding intellectual knowledge; it is an invitation to immerse yourself deeply in the transformative power of the Healing Field, a luminous realm Roel has worked within for over 30 years. It is a sacred, initiatory experience, designed to guide you into profound stillness and ceremonial depth, offering a space to recharge, reconnect, and awaken your essence.
Through extended sessions of silence and transformative ceremonies, Roel creates a sanctuary where you can align with Spirit on the deepest levels. This journey is not merely about rejuvenation; it is an alchemical process where healing takes root in the soul. Within this sacred circle, Roel will also address the group’s collective needs, leading powerful healing ceremonies tailored to the topics and energies present. These ceremonies offer direct healing not only to individuals but also to the entire group, weaving everyone into the shared fabric of transformation.
This 7-day ceremonial immersion is more than a workshop; it is a portal into the Healing Field, where you surrender to the sacred work unfolding through Spirit and allow the light of healing to guide your journey.

Mandita Practice: A Sacred Daily Ceremony
Each evening, Roel will guide you into “Mandita” ceremony: a beautiful healing practice that stems from more than two decades of study with his teacher, an Indonesian ritual master. Mandita transcends the mind, offering a direct connection to what his teacher calls “High Spirit.”
These ceremonies blend shamanic healing, ancestral songs, ritual art, and deep energetic transmission to create a profound state of union with Spirit. Surrounded by Roel his ritual sculptures that are part of this retreat, and the live ceremonial music, the energy of Mandita will carry deep into the light of the Healing Field, opening pathways for transformation that go beyond words.
A Journey Beyond Technique
This intensive is a calling for those ready to surrender to Spirit and allow the Healing Field to work its magic. Through Roel’s guidance, you’ll experience the essence of healing as not just an act, but as a state of being. This is your opportunity to step into the light, rejuvenate your soul, and embrace the transformative power of Spirit.

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 6 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.
Building on the beautiful journey of previous Healing Field retreats, they are coming together again in 2027 to co-create this field of light.
A transformational journey of 65 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 online to start your preparation together in ceremony.
6 weeks 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.
How to apply?
You can make your application below. However, your application does not guarantee participation.
About Your Teachers and Guides in the Healing Field Training
Roel Crabbé has been practising shamanism since 1995 under the guidance of both traditional and Western teachers. He has been personally trained and authorized to teach Shamanic journeying and healing by Sandra Ingerman, former education director of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies and author of “Soul Retrieval” and “Medicine for the Earth,” among others.
Apart from this work, he has developed numerous practices and facilitates shamanic rituals and ceremonies for transformation and healing. He has been recognized by several traditional shamans for his ability to bring in very pure energies and tap into ancient songlines from the Spirit world. His work with ancestral healing songs, which are often only sung once, has become an intrinsic part of his teaching and healing work.
Since 2004, Roel has taught thousands in shamanism and healing in Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Austria, Italy and France. His work has been published in publications such as “Bres” and “Change.”
You can find his work and that of his colleagues at ShamanicTeachers.com
Patrik Niels has been deeply passionate about the realms of sound and music, From a young age. At just 16, he picked up the guitar, embarking on a journey that would lead him through various jobs in the sound and recording industry. In the vibrant 90s, he encountered the transformative worlds of spirituality and meditation, unlocking the remarkable healing potential of sound.
His quest for knowledge led him to study shamanism under the guidance of esteemed Hungarian shaman Joska Soos, along with training from several prominent international sound healers.
In 2001, Patrik took a bold step, leaving his traditional job to establish his own spiritual center. This haven became a place for meditation, sound healing sessions, ceremonies, rituals, trainings, workshops, and lectures. Throughout his journey, he has had the privilege of collaborating with many talented musicians and healers, including the likes of Kailash Kokopelli, Terry Oldfield, and Kevin James Carroll.
He has also shared countless moments of connection and creativity with his soul brother Roel, facilitating transformative sound rituals, ceremonies, and retreats.
Praise from Roel’s Teachers, Peers, and Colleagues
“Roel Crabbe’s work is exquisite. His life experience has led him to be a brilliant and compassionate shamanic healer and teacher. I have known Roel since 2004 and had the opportunity to watch him work many times. His work is really beautiful, and touches deep into the soul of his clients. His communication is clear and his work is truly innovative. Anyone attending a workshop with Roel will come out with a wealth of teachings, healing, and inspiration.”
“The teachers who have impacted my life in the most profound way have all had a number of qualities in common: compassion, intelligence, and integrity. Above all they, they walked their talk. In other words, they lived their lives from their principles. In my experience, Roel Crabbe has the qualities that set apart a true teacher in abundance. The Sufis call their teachers Spiritual Friends; I believe you could find no better Spiritual Friend than Roel.”
“Roel’s commitment and passion for supporting people to connect to spirit is a true blessing for this world. His soulful songs evoke ancient healing and open the portals between the worlds. When he creates ceremony, you can truly feel the presence of the loving, healing ancestors and spirits. This is powerful work!”
“Roel Crabbe is a powerfully talented shamanic teacher, musician, and deeply creative innovator in our field. His ceremonies, healing modalities, and therapies are one-of-a-kind and profoundly transformative. His many gifts and strengths make him exceptional, and he is a true stand-out among his peers.”

Marielle Haas
“Since the Healing Field retreat. I feel changed. In daily Life, also at work, I notice a quality of centeredness, ease and openness simultaneously that I never felt before.
The ceremonies, the initiations, the music, were so healing. Deep fear in my bones has shifted into pure presence and joy.
I learned to be friends with the Infinite.
What a blessing to now carry this Light with me and let it flow into the world. ”
Lenuta Hellen Nadolu
“I came all the way from Sydney Australia and the Healing Field was truly an extraordinary experience.
The Healing Field facilitated the Energy flow through my entire being, be more of myself, discover who I am, see my life path in a clear light, learn to trust, to allow and to grow.
But it also brought deep healing and helped me to let go of what it does not serve me anymore. Faith and strength became my allies, allowing a new way of seeing Life, a free state of being from where I receive clear guidance on my path. A true blessing”
Danielle De Wilde
“I had the privilege to spend an amazing retreat with fine people, interesting teachings, great location, super food but above all a collective field of peace, serenity and time to explore what wants to emerge but never got the safety and the time to do.
What a team! What a soul uplifting musical blanket. I got insights, revelations and commitments towards myself in order to cherish the precious energy we could tap in.
A big merci to Spirit manifested in all who was there. I feel gratitude and connection to the creators and facilitators including Lake and Sauna of this exceptional retreat. ”
Karin Stege
“It was a very gentle and at the same time, profound healing space with everything I need to feel safe, to enjoy, to open up and dive deeper than ever before.
The forest, the lake, the sauna. The birds, huge old trees and the sound and silence.
Now, almost 3 weeks later, I very much feel like I’m still in the healing process.
Thank you for all the ceremonies and music, that made it so easy for us to step into the healing field!”
Matthias Heiniger
“The Healing Field Retreat gave me a week-long feeling of well-being. On the one hand, this was achieved through encounters with wonderful and beautiful people and their souls. On the other hand, Roel was able to take us together into an attitude from which we were able to create this field together. There was a palpable, dense healing energy in the ceremony room.
Since the retreat, I have found more depth in my own spiritual practice. Roel gave me freedom in finding my way in the shamanic worldview. The talks Roel gave had the quality of channeling, and felt as if guided by a supernatural intelligence.”
Angelique B.
“From my diary during the Healing Field: “So blessed I feel, grateful for the many things evolving. I started this morning at half past 5 with my usual morning practice. I woke up with a light, joyful feeling. Lighter than I have ever experienced over the past 6 years and ready to reach out to the white Healing Light.
After breakfast we went up around 10 AM into the Healing Space where the energy now has become so very sacred, translucent and full of Light.
Being in complete silence I consider to be such a great blessing for All. I feel so much peace within. ”
Silvia U
“The Healing Initiation Field retreat was a deep dive into inner realms where in order to heal, you allow to feel it all. Roel was holding sacred space powerfully – creating amazing collective field where you can experience what it means to be connected as one beyond time & space in the world of Spirit. He was able to guide us all through our inner healing journey and helped me to reclaim my true divine light.”
Bruno V
“The Healing Field was absolutely miraculous. It brought me a lot closer to my true self. It introduced us to a beautiful healing method that transcends the analysis and rationalization so common to Western psychoanalysis and gave us a safe space to truly connect with what’s inside us and what we share with our communities. “
Sirpa Ilsink
“Two months after the Healing Field, I am still integrating all the gifts. The group healing helped me to reconnect to my inner, free spirit. The effects of that is that I can now speak freely in the world. I speak from my heart and am no longer afraid to do so. This week was deeply healing.”
