Viewers can’t stop talking about the farming ritual in Steenrijk, Straatarm

Sjoukje, Mark and their two daughters have just arrived in Vlijmen in Brabant. They have just entered the house when Mark gets a bad feeling. “Sad. I have to go through the house, because before we go to sleep I have to go through the house with the walking stick.” He walks through the house with his instrument to remove all negative energy. “I feel a lot of sadness in the house. I’m almost touching myself.”

Exploding as he walks through the house, he feels the sadness coming to him from different corners of the house. “Burping means I release energy. (…) If I’m not filling everything with myself.” As soon as he reaches the bedroom on the first floor, the energy overwhelms him and he walks through the room gasping and gagging. “So, there was someone else here who wanted to say something clearly. It feels a lot lighter here.”

Mark has clearly felt a lot of sadness in the house. Rosita has had a hard time. When she ends up on sick leave, partly due to past traumas, she falls into depression. Her depression was so bad that she tried to end her life. “But luckily, at that time my sister called me. “

To do more for Rosita and her daughter Zoë, Mark and Sjoukje go out to buy nice things with the remaining weekly budget. When they are able to make a deal with the workers at both the thrift store and the garden center to get a discount on the products, Mark becomes emotional. “It just gives me goosebumps. That we can achieve this for them,” he said with tears in his eyes. “That other people are participating in it too. It touches me.”

Despite Mark’s good intentions, viewers can’t stop talking about his unique cleansing ritual:
