Renewal is not a concept.
It is a lived transmission.

Realived is a space for renewal. Real expansion happens when we are connected to both the cosmos and the earth; when we can feel our numinous essence while staying rooted in the body. It is living from the truth that we are a divine child.

This is not metaphor. It is a lived, felt, embodied reality that carefully crafted soul journeys make accessible. This is the path of becoming more alive. I work in four dimensions. The physical body. The subtle body. The field between. And the moment where they all deliquesce into one truth.

Medicine, real medicine, is subtle. It moves through space, through sound, through silence and through movement. Psychedelic medicines can be the catalyst for a profound soul and heart flight, in the bodies. The soil of our soul.

"I take people on a soul and heart flight, in their bodies."
Psychedelic Medicine Woman

Tessa van de Ven

Psychedelic Medicine Woman

Pragmatic and Attuned.
Earth-bound. Spirit-guided.

I am a psychedelic medicine woman, facilitator, educator, and ACT practitioner. My path has been shaped by 11 years of deep-dimensional work through psychedelic journeys and complementary modalities: breathwork, yoga, sound, prayer, and wisdom teachings.

I've had encounters with lost light and false light, within and without. From that terrain, I know what it means to live truly from the heart and to remember our light. Heart-centered living is not an aspiration. It is the most fulfilling soul-human direction in life.

My work is about dissolving the layers between you and your own aliveness. I guide people through soul journeys that help you reconnect with the truth of who you are beneath protection, conditioning, and inner noise, so you can inhabit yourself fully, as a divine child of this earth and universe. This work supports you in landing in the body, softening the mind, reconnecting with the heart, and opening to subtle medicine, and is devoted to the art of renewal.

The Pillars

Music as carrier.
Medicine as catalyst.
Body as ground.

These are not techniques. They are languages, each one a way of speaking to the internalized patterns of you that words cannot reach.

I

Music

The main pillar. Sound is the original medicine. Carefully curated, personalized journeys that hold, open, and transform, guiding the mind-body through release, remembrance, and return. Music is the invisible ceremony.

Primary Carrier
II

Psychedelic Medicines

The catalyst. Used with intention, preparation, and reverence, plant, fungal, and synthesized medicines can open the doors of perception, revealing the truth of who you are beneath conditioning and illusion.

The Catalyst
III

SOMA Breathwork

Pranayama-based breathwork that activates the autonomic nervous system, engages the subtle body, and creates expanded states of awareness from within. No substance required; the breath alone is the portal.

Inner Alchemy
IV

Yin Yoga

Long-held, floor-based postures that work at the level of fascia, meridians, and the energetic body. Yin yoga is a practice of compassion and inner listening, teaching the body to soften, open, and trust the ground.

Felt Body
V

ACT & Inner Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy at the intersection of psychology and somatics. We work with present-moment awareness, life direction, and committed action, softening avoidance and deepening willingness.

Mind-Body
VI

Natural & Creative Arts

Prayers, plant allies, scent, clearing techniques, and self & community care rituals drawn from wisdom traditions. Ancient technologies of reconnection, adapted for the modern traveler bridging the seen and unseen.

The Field

Together, these modalities support you in landing safely in the body, softening the mind, opening the heart, releasing old patterns, and integrating insight into embodied living.

Soul Journey Design

Connect to your heart.
Land in your body.
Soften your mind.

REALIVED is a regenerative space for deep inner journeys: a place to connect with your heart, land in your body, unravel protective patterns, and remember the living intelligence within you.

A soul journey is an intentional, creatively designed integrative experience. It is not a single session; it is a passage of renewal from the inside out. You arrive as the self you've learned to inhabit. You come home to the deeper living self.

I design each journey individually and uniquely, drawing on the full spectrum of my pillars, modalities, and teachings, to meet you where you are and align with what you're willing to explore. Every journey includes preparation, the journey itself, integration, and application. The container is carefully facilitated. The space is transformative. The direction is toward life.

The Framework

Four-dimensional work.

Real expansion lives at the intersection of all four: the physical, subtle, relational, and eco-cosmological. True transformation unfolds through all of them.

◯ Physical Body

The living vessel. Sensations, somatics, breath, and movement. The body holds primal knowing.

✦ Subtle Body

Meridians, energetic channels, and liminal space. Yoga, sound, and clearing work move in this field.

◈ Earth

Grounded, rooted, elemental. Connecting to the living intelligence of the earth.

☽ Cosmos

Expanded, open, vast. Connecting to the infinite inner dimension of conscious being.

The Teaching

On light.
On love.

Not all light is the same. Not all love is the same. The journey requires learning to discern, within yourself, and within the inner and outer worlds you inhabit.

☀

Light

I have encountered lost light, the parts of ourselves that went dim and hid. I have encountered false light, the brightness that blinds rather than illuminates. And I have found the real light. The medicine teaches us to recognise these lights within and without, to grieve what has been lost, unmask what is false, and serve what is genuine. Light that is real does not seduce. It simply allows you to see, sense, and feel clearly.

♡

Love

Living from the heart feels good. Not in a sentimental way, but in a structurally different way. When we align our presence, choices, and actions with the intelligence of the heart rather than the fear of the mind, something shifts. Not once, but continuously. This is what soul journeys open: a felt sense of what it means to actually live from your center. Love is the direction. The heart is the compass. The body is the home.

"Medicine is subtle. Real expansion takes place when we are connected to the earth and cosmos, and living from the truth that we are a divine child."

In Their Words

Those who have journeyed.

"

From the very beginning, Tessa created a safe and supportive environment that allowed me to open up quite quickly. The process helped me regulate my emotions better and break patterns that had a negative influence on my life. I now feel more comfortable allowing myself to be vulnerable and creating more calm and space for myself. I would definitely recommend this process to others.

Niki B.
"

I am still grateful to Tessa every day for the time we traveled together. To me, she feels like one of the teachers I have had in my life. I can wholeheartedly recommend a guided journey with her. You are in good hands, and she takes your journey and process extremely seriously.

Django S.
"

Tessa created a safe environment from the very beginning, allowing me to open up and reflect deeply. Her guidance in preparation, during the ceremony, and throughout integration made me feel fully supported and cared for. The journey helped me better regulate my emotions, break negative patterns, and create more calm and balance in my life.

Debby de H.
"

Thanks to Tessa's safe and supportive guidance, I truly dared to look inward, and that has given me insights and inner peace that I still carry with me today. It is so much more than just a ceremony; it is truly a journey of growth and deeper self-discovery. For that, I am deeply grateful to her.

Djenna van N.
"

During the ceremony, the careful alignment of music and scent made the experience one of the most beautiful and inspiring moments of my life. The greatest gift of this journey was finally being able to let go of something that had been present in my life for eight years. For an incredible journey guided by Tessa, I would recommend it without hesitation, even if it requires getting on a plane.

Stef G.
"

Working with Tessa during the microdosing coaching sessions was a really positive experience. She was very supportive and patient, guiding me step by step. I especially appreciated her calm and confident approach, which gave me trust and motivation throughout. I would absolutely recommend the microdosing coaching sessions with Tessa; she is clear, supportive, and makes the whole process easy to understand and follow.

Guilherme C.
"

Tessa is amazing from start to finish. I always felt so held and supported by her, especially during my journey when I felt super vulnerable like a newborn baby. She goes above and beyond, getting to know me deeply to create personalised sessions and a personalised playlist. I feel lighter, more joyful and more grounded since completing my work with her. She has amazing intuition and I felt healed even after the first couple of prep sessions.

Alison L.
"

My shamanic medicine session with Tessa was a profound and transformative experience. Her grounded yet deeply warm approach, combined with ancient wisdom and modern insight, immediately made me feel at ease and supported. Tessa is not a guru, but a guide who helps you discover your own answers. Her sessions feel like a ceremony of liberation, not magical in a fantasy sense, but genuinely extraordinary.

Koen E.
"

What this journey brought me is more understanding and compassion for myself; I always found it easier to have compassion for others than for myself. Since both my partner and I went through this process, we communicate more openly and feel more comfortable expressing emotions. From the very first moment, I felt safe. Tessa truly knows how to create a safe environment in which that becomes possible.
