Introduction
Reflection is the process of thinking deeply about yourself, your life, your choices, and your values. It involves consciously pausing to consider what is truly important to you, to gain insight into yourself and your life’s path. Reflection leads to self-awareness, reconsidering decisions, and seeking inner peace and balance.

This day retreat is designed to offer a space for reflection and connection in a small, intimate group. Our unique houseboat on the water offers a peaceful, natural setting, surrounding you with water and silence to support every aspect of your retreat Essence & Growth journey.

We welcome you with warmth,
Nathalie & Martijn

Bio Nathalie
As a yoga therapist, I combine my knowledge from my professional dance career with my specialization in trauma-sensitive yoga. I work on increasing awareness by guiding people in discovering their bodies and releasing stored physical and emotional tensions. I believe in the power of self-exploration, in truly understanding the connection between body, mind, and spirit.

Bio Martijn
As a writer and interviewer, I work with language every day. Language is never solitary; it exists through the grace of interaction between people. That’s where language's power lies: imagination is expressed, and we find reflection within a sentence. In conversation, we playfully discover where language brings deepened values—close to your heart, feelings, and authentic self. Language speaks, language brings, language gives.

Day Retreat Ticket
€75 per person.

The ticket price includes all sessions, a healthy lunch, snacks, and beverages throughout the day.

Express yourself

This workshop is a playful way to discover what moves your inner voice while formulating your personal values. Expression of the heart starts with imagination stimulating your creative mind through drawing and moving meditation. This allows us to liberate ourselves from thought restrictions, inviting the gift of total freedom.

Define your values

Your personal values reveal your life’s purpose and what you consider as deeply meaningful. Formulating your values will give you an insight into your beliefs which affects how you behave and make choices. They can help you determine who you would like to become in life. And they can guide you through the decisions that lead up to or impact where your life is going.

Affirmations

When our values are present we will deepen the creative process by formulating affirmation sentences that you can use as a daily reminder to understand what you hold dear to your heart.

Move your inner voice

With the use of drawing and moving meditation, we will explore how visualisation can empower a direct way of communicating through the sensory body. Opening up our senses in the language of drawing and moving is an expression of the heart, intuitively we dive into a consciousness of what is happing now.

In ritual we exist

We will end this workshop in a ritual celebrating the love for creation with our drawings and the wheel of affirmations we formulated together. It is through the freedom of creation we can experience our true selves in the present moment, here and now. All limitations that we hold deeply in our minds, can be moved if we open ourselves through that creative process. We are perfect beautiful beings and in this sharing ritual, we can freely express that we exist.
