EXPERIENCE

A holistic retreat to help you relax and reinvigorate your body and mind.

  • Yoga, Breathwork, Mediation, Journaling & Deep Reflection
  • Ayurveda Workshop
  • Muscle & Joint awareness based movement sessions
  • Spatial & Tempo focused movement sessions

THE RETREAT

Venwoude-location

Venwoude is a place for conscious growth and healing into wholeness. The 40-acre estate and its surroundings are a unique place for reflection, awareness, personal growth, sustainable living and connection. This peaceful sanctuary is in the forests of Lage Vuursche, in the centre of the Netherlands.

Away from the noise of modern life, the deep quietude emanating from the majestic beech and pine trees is palpable on the entire terrain. This makes Venwoude an ideal environment for personal growth, consciousness work and spiritual transformation.

THE FOOD

Apart from Dutch cooking the dishes will be served from all over the world following the seasons and striving for a good balance regarding taste, digestibility and nutritional value.

  • Fresh, organic, local products will be served. Sometimes vegetables would literally come straight from the farm – which you can definitely see and taste!
  • Plant based meals with enough choice available.
  • With no additional cost meals can be made 100% vegan or lactose-free and/or gluten-free.
