Total Stress Release Retreat
November 15th-17th
Domburg, Zeeland
A luscious relaxing weekend filled with transformative mindfulness and awareness practices, gentle yoga (yin and yang) and ample time to do nothing, simply sit in the heart of Zeeland's beautiful nature.
Did you know... that one in three people struggle with stress and burnout symptoms like fatigue, tension, overwhelm and anxiety? And far too many suffer in silence, entangled in worry and distractions. If this is your reality, you will benefit tremendously from this total stress release weekend retreat.
Retreating is the single most powerful way to break free from the chaos of everyday life, immerse yourself in mindfulness, understand yourself better and reconnect to your full potential.
Break the stress cycle on this weekend retreat!
Join me at the Total Stress Release Retreat in Zeeland.
This Stress Release Retreat has been consistently selling out for years. This fall, probably for the last time, I'm taking this experience to Zeeland for a weekend of gentle guidance into my favorite awareness practices - with the intention of helping you find more ease and joy in daily life by learning to nip stress in the bud before it takes you down.
​
How?
By contemplating and understanding a little set of the Buddha's most mind-blowing (and mind changing) teachings: The Four Foundations of Mindfulness.
Change your relationship with stress
This weekend retreat (full of mindfulness practices plus a generous splash of daily yoga) is an incredibly effective way to break free from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Our focus on The 4 Foundations of Mindfulness and a little side step into The 4 Noble Truths is guaranteed to shift your perspective on life.

It's time to invest in your wellbeing and happiness
Why it's time to listen to that inner voice, nudging you to retreat:
01
Self Care
Your mental, emotional, and physical well-being are priceless assets that deserve your attention and care. By retreating, you prioritize self-care and recharge your mind, body, and spirit, so you can continue to thrive in all areas of your life.
03
Clarity and Perspective
Stepping away from your daily routine allows you to gain fresh perspective and clarity on your life's direction, goals, and priorities. With a clearer mind and renewed focus, you can make more empowered decisions and take aligned action towards creating the life you desire.
02
Break from Burnout
In today's fast-paced world, burnout is a real threat to your health and happiness. A retreat offers a much-needed break from the relentless demands of work and life, giving you the space to rest, rejuvenate, and rediscover your passion and purpose.
04
Lifechanging Insights
Retreats offer a rare opportunity for deep introspection and self-discovery, leading to profound insights and breakthroughs. By immersing yourself in mindfulness practices, self-reflection, and personal development workshops, you uncover hidden truths, release limiting beliefs, and unlock your full potential, setting the stage for lasting positive change in your life.
Still not sure?
I know, it's a big step... and you might be worried about:
05
Is it worth the money?
Consider the retreat as an investment in your well-being and personal growth. Think about the long-term benefits you'll gain from the experience, including improved mental and physical health, enhanced clarity and focus, and greater overall happiness. And if you need a payment plan, just reach out to me.
06
A whole weekend?
I understand you might feel apprehensive about committing to a full weekend retreat, but consider reframing your perspective on time. Think of the retreat not as an absence from your regular routine, but as an investment in yourself that will yield huge dividends in the long run. The insights, clarity, and peace of mind gained during the retreat can have a ripple effect on your productivity, creativity, and overall well-being for years to come.
07
I won't know anyone!
Retreats are generally very supportive and welcoming environments where participants feel safe to be themselves. You'll be surrounded by like-minded individuals who are on a similar journey of self-discovery and growth. Plus, it's when you step out of your comfort zone, that often the most profound transformations occur. (And if you're really concerned... convince a friend to come too!)
08
What's the point?
If you feel skeptical, you might consider the testimonials from past retreat participants (scroll down) who experienced profound transformation and positive changes in their lives. My trick when I am feeling skeptical - I remind myself to keep an open mind and go for curiosity and willingness - who knows what new practices and perspectives could bring me! You might surprise yourself too. :)
A retreat is not a holiday!
The mistake a lot of people make, is that they think a a break or a little time off is going to fix things for them.
So they splurge on the city trip or the holiday, maybe even booking something that is a little too expensive, or a little too adventurous. And they hope that after their trip they will feel more like themselves, a little more connected, recharged.... and then three days after they get home they feel frazzled all over again.
​
But a retreat is not a holiday. It is a chance to really truly give yourself the time and space you need, so you come home feeling more centered, happier, more at ease with the way your life flows.
