Emotional Awareness Retreats
In 2025, we are opening a new chapter that we feel deeply passionate about. We are launching our Emotional Awareness Retreats in The Netherlands: a place where meaningful change begins not through effort or force, but by gently coming closer to what is already within.
Many people spend years searching for clarity, reading books, listening to podcasts, attending seminars, or trying to fix what feels broken. But often, the missing piece is not more information or techniques. What is needed is a safe, attuned space where one can pause, feel, and begin to truly listen to themselves — beyond the noise of daily life, beyond the well-practiced coping mechanisms, beyond the protective layers that were once necessary for survival.
This is exactly what these retreats are designed to offer.
Over the course of six carefully held days, we will welcome small groups of 5 to 12 participants into a space of safety, truth, and real human connection. Together, we create a container where participants are supported to explore unresolved emotional wounds, unprocessed experiences, and the patterns that may still unconsciously guide their choices today. These wounds often began long ago, sometimes in childhood, sometimes through difficult life events. They can show up as anxiety, emotional numbness, perfectionism, shame, people-pleasing, or a quiet but persistent sense that something isn’t fully at peace.
During the retreat, participants are invited to gently meet these parts of themselves. This is not about fixing or forcing breakthroughs. It is about allowing insights to arise naturally, as the nervous system feels safe enough to let go. With skilled facilitation and trauma-informed guidance, each person will have the opportunity to reconnect to their own truth, untangle inner conflicts, and make space for what is often waiting just beneath the surface: clarity, relief, a renewed sense of direction, and deeper self-acceptance.
The retreat blends individual and group work. While each person is on their own unique path, there is also tremendous healing in witnessing and being witnessed by others. The intimacy of the small group allows for meaningful connection, while also giving enough space for privacy, reflection, and personal process. Many participants describe this shared experience as one of the most powerful aspects of the retreat — a sense of togetherness where everyone is welcome exactly as they are.
This work is suitable for people from many walks of life: those who have already done a great deal of personal development work yet feel something is still unresolved; those who carry invisible emotional burdens from the past; those who feel cut off from their emotions and want to reconnect; or those simply longing for a space where they can finally exhale and come home to themselves.
If you feel called to explore this work, we invite you to reach out. We are happy to share more details and help you determine whether this experience is right for you.
