Retreat Program

You can receive the detailed program on request. Below is a taste of what will be alternated and combined during these four days.

Give yourself stillness and profound connection - THE WORK

Learn how to explore stressful thoughts. A simple, profound and meditative practice, which gives you access to your inner wisdom and power.

You will apply "The Work" directly, so you experience how simple exercises can offer immediate insight. This enables you to break patterns, tackle the source of stress and get in touch with your inner freedom.

You do not need any experience with The Work, only an open mind. This method is simple but radical, in the most loving way you can imagine.

Peace in your mind, peace in your body - MEDITATION & YOGA

The meditation, dynamic and relaxing yoga sessions (Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Restorative Yoga & Yang Flow) provide reflection, depth and awareness of the relationship between your body and mind.

You practice yoga in a way that is most fitting for your body, so that you can release physical, mental and emotional blockages and tensions, and can literally move freely and confidently. When you are more physically relaxed, there is more connection with yourself and you can dive deeper into your mind. Which in turn will make noticing and questioning your thoughts easier.

And that is precisely the power of this four-day retreat: Discover how meditation, Yin Yoga & The Work surprisingly enriches your world!

Free flow of energy is healing - BREATH, ACUPRESSURE & REIKI

Receiving and practicing Reiki, conscious breathing and stimulating acupuncture points during the Yin yoga sessions, helps release blockages and tensions and triggers your body’s self-healing abilities. Everything is energy; thoughts, tension, emotions. When energy is flowing, there is freedom and healing in all parts of your life.

*The language used during the retreat is Dutch and/or English, depending on the participants.
