"I have learned a lot from the mindfulness training. I now listen to myself better and experience less stress. Ellen showed me that it can be different. The exercises and meetings were pleasant and instructive."

"How special it was to be quiet for a weekend. It brought me closer to myself. The guidance was good, beautiful meditations, nice yoga, and tasty meals. The location was also pleasant. I enjoyed it and learned a lot."

It was nice to be in the middle of nature and sleep in a yurt. So different from life in the Netherlands. The surroundings helped me to truly unwind and meditate. No distractions from traffic, streetlights or phone.

The massage was loving and respectful, and left me deeply relaxed. It was particularly wonderful that the whole body received attention, not just the back and shoulders as is often the case with a massage. It was delightful!

"Incredibly valuable. I have truly rediscovered a part of myself. It was a unique experience to spend a whole weekend focusing on myself. Peaceful, calm - thanks in part to all the meditations. I found true peace and ultimate happiness at 'My spot' in the back of a meadow by a sort of lake. I recommend it to anyone who wants to stop and be still."

"I experienced this silent retreat as a much-needed break. Not having to communicate, not even non-verbally, in a group was truly refreshing and a great way to truly connect with oneself. It was a reset moment during a difficult period, allowing me to take a step back. Not talking about problems can also be very enlightening."

I have experienced, felt, and learned a lot. I have experienced sadness, uncertainty, joy, intense happiness, compassion, love, so many emotions. I have also had a nice place in nature! Then, suddenly on a Sunday morning, I found myself sitting by a fire, looking at the landscape. The birds passing by, the small moon, the watery sun, so beautiful!
