In January and February, together with others, I am organising a rich programme to set powerful intentions for 2027.

Different methods

Over four Fridays you get a taste of different methods of self-inquiry: from writing and movement to singing, systemic exercises and breathwork.

The 4 Winds

The programme is inspired by the 4 directions of the wind and the natural cycle. It is an encounter with yourself and with each other. Each day we go one step further in your own process. That way you gain essential insights from your deepest core, and we lay a solid foundation for the new year.

What people said about past events

Translated from Dutch

  1. It was a wonderful ZenWeek, organised and led by very skilled and kind people who made you feel welcome, so you could completely immerse yourself and surrender.

    Cora
  2. The ZenWeek was a lovely and enriching experience. The beautiful location brought calm straight away and the guidance was warm and professional. The varied programme made the whole week inspiring, and meeting others made it extra special. Truly recommended.

    Regi
  3. What a fantastic ZenWeek to enjoy. The programme was beautiful, carefully and thoughtfully put together. The guidance was in the hands of experienced and knowledgeable people with enormous openness and commitment. Camping de Recreatie is an atmospheric location for this ZenWeek. It really deepens the calm, the chance to slow down and the connection with nature. The classes, sessions, loving circles and ceremonies were loving and gentle; they opened my heart. This ZenWeek is an absolute gift to yourself. Many compliments for how all of this was set up, I am very grateful.

    Petra
  4. The ZenWeek made a huge impression on me. The setting in a beautiful forest and the length of five days were crucial to be able to go into the surprising depth safely and freely.

    Jurriaan
  5. Lovely and restful, with no obligations. An open, enriching and connecting week.

    Chantal
  6. The ZenWeek was a lovely, safe and relaxed week. No obligation to take part in anything, but choosing what suits you in the moment. On top of that, a place right in the middle of nature is an absolute bonus. The organisers put together a beautiful programme that is accessible to everyone. Thank you so much and see you next year!

    Daphne
  7. I had a wonderful week! The combination of all the different activities makes it a complete experience and contributes to relaxation and insights. And all that in an amazing place. Definitely recommended to do a reset and step out of your busy life for a while.
