Day Retreat - Essence & Growth

  • 209 Johan van Hasseltkade Amsterdam, NH, 1032 LP Netherlands (map)

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.
