Sacred Burial Ritual 2019
Toltec Earth's Embrace ritual
Residential 4 day Shamanic Intensive
Friday-Monday August 16-19th 2019 - Orval (Belgium)
"Shamanism is a path of direct revelation, from personal experience, connection and power. There is no sideline. Earth is a fundamental teacher, she heals, reveals and transforms. Her power is there for everyone who is willing to receive. This time asks us to remember and walk upon the path of the Earth renewed." - Roel Crabbe
This is an in-depth initiation ritual with enormous potential. What Earth will bring you on this night of ceremony and embrace is something that cannot be expressed in words. You will walk the path of mystery and the ancient path of healing. - Roel Crabbe.
The Ancient Tradition of "Earth's Embrace"
The Sacred Burial found in Toltec and African traditions, but this powerful ritual exists worldwide. The ritual of the Sacred Burial is an ancient tradition that has been used for many centuries for healing, renewal and transformation, as a Vision Quest or rite of passage.
Roel is one of only a handful of people trained to facilitate a Toltec Sacred Burial ritual in Europe. He will be guiding this powerful ritual for the fifth time since 2008. Currently, he holds a Toltec Burial ceremony every two years. (The other year he runs the Vision Quest in the South of France).
This is an intense authentic initiation ritual very few people get to encounter. If the deep mystery of Earth, its teaching and healing powers call to you, we welcome you to join us in this ancient tradition.
Ancient, life-changing ritual of transformation
In the Sacred Burial ritual, you dig your own grave, where you will spend a night of darkness, silence,
surrender and prayer.
It is an authentic ritual of stillness, transformation and deep communion with the spirit of the Earth.
The Sacred Burial is for people who are called to connect further and deeper with the healing power of the Earth or want to use this this intensive transformation ritual as a Vision Quest.

An Initiation that is not for everyone
It is important to note that this ritual is not for everyone. The Burial is for those who are willing to release the grasp of ego, fear and control and open on a deeper level. We will guide you through the necessary inner preparation to fully open yourself to the voice of nature and to release the perception of boundaries, so you can be fully embraced by the healing spirits. Focus, silence of mind and surrender are key.
Preparing for powerful ritual
During the preparation period, you will work with several methods of the Toltec tradition, fire ceremony,
work in nature, meditations and silence. These preparations will guide you into deeper and deeper openness and give you access to
inner silence. You will work with your connection to Mother Earth, the powers of nature, and allowing the
embrace of life's mystery to teach you about your true potential.
During this time you can focus on what is important for you at this moment in your life.
When we go into the Earth, we go with clear intention and surrender.
This ritual is only for those who are ready. This will open the door to the soul and carry you into new realms.
If you are dedicated to the path and are ready for this initiation into the Wisdom of the Earth, Roel and Griet welcome you and will guide you and keep wacht over you during the entire ritual and your night in the Earth's Embrace.
This workshop is limited to a small group of participants, so sign up early. Knowing Roel’s work method as well as the willingness to surrender to working in silence and on inner preparation are requirements for participation.
If you are interested but you have no prior experience with Roel’s guidance, or you have some personal questions, you can always contact him thought the contact page. He will contact you to discuss your participation via Skype.
Held in the prestine nature of Orval, in the South of Belgium, the ritual is performed with the utmost care and in accord with the powers of this place. Together we will make sure that the site that is taking care of us will be left behind in pristine condition.

Peggy Dylan over Roel Crabbé:
"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." - Peggy Dylan

Agenda
"“I am very grateful that we went deeper and deeper into silence during the days of preparation. This made me strong enough to experience such a night in full surrender.
The whole night I felt carried and guided in my deep process of rejuvenation, transformation and surrender.
Now, after a few months, when there is a storm around me, I can easily go back to the silence deep within!
That is just indescribable and that experience is just getting stronger and stronger!
It is by far my most beautiful experience ever!!!
May all the good light your path!”
"The Sacred Burial, what a beautiful gift! The simplicity, the love, the caring and most of all, the power you place in each of us…
I felt safely protected in the Great Mother, as if a new life energy began to trickle in, that whispered to me: it is okay to be who you really are, LIVE, follow the call of your heart, feel the love that has always been there, look with the eyes of the soul and see the abundance…
And the trickling in became a small stream and holds the promise of becoming a powerful current. The beginning of everything..."
"While digging my grave I felt, most of all, dignity growing inside of me, a feeling that was pretty nonexistent in my life before.
Many deep fears and concerns have died before, during and after the Burial.
Since the Burial I take my life very consciously in my own hands. And I enjoy a new kind of freedom, of observing every tree I come across and of the mud on my hands.
I have learned to take in the life-force and have let go of resistance.
I opened myself to the love of Mother Earth. And I am so happy for it.
I have felt so much more warmth and love around me than before.
Thank you for this!"
"I am so happy that I am in tears. I am not able to do something, I can only be.
I am new in this world and I look with eyes full of wonder. I have so much energy that I can only lie down on the earth and connect. I am the life in this body and my body is strong and powerful. This is who I really am and I am everything.
I am so thankful for the wisdom, the healing and the love of the earth. I am so grateful for the process of the Sacred Burial, I am so thankful for Roel and Griet, for your love and devotion."
"Healing The Apparent Self Of The Ignorance Of The True Self Is The Ultimate Essence Of All Healing"
"For while a drop of water is not the ocean, yet it does contain within itself all the attributes of the limitless deep."
