Nourish your soul retreat | NETHERLANDS

Are you doing life or is life doing you?
I believe that a retreat can be so much more than ‘just’ an opportunity to relax and unwind. A retreat is also the perfect time to reconnect with yourself, nourish your body, mind and soul and initiate transformation. The society we live in is a very masculine and rational place, and we mostly live from the head. We have lost the deep connection with our bodies. But our bodies hold our emotions, our deepest desires for life and the answer to who we really are. It’s very easy to become disconnected from all that by just going with the flow and allowing society to dictate your life for you. Only once we reconnect with these deeper layers of ourselves and once we nourish our body, mind and soul, we can thrive in life.
This retreat offers you a safe space to dive deep within yourself
Sometimes we need space and permission from someone else to do this, because we simply can’t allow ourselves this deep selfcare. It seems ‘too much’ and we don’t deserve it. So that’s what I’ll do for you. I will create and hold space for your journey back towards yourself and I will give you full permission to nourish yourself on every level. Throughout this whole week, you are your priority no. 1. Through yoga, meditation, breathwork, nourishing meals, nature, massages, rest and good conversations, you will explore your lifestyle and your physical and mental health and reconnect with those deeper layers of yourself. You will find clarity on what you really want in this life and how to get there. And you will recognize and delete your own internal blocks that stop you from reaching these goals. You are the creator of your own life. No one else. On this retreat, I will help you experience again how it feels to be free, to take back control and to make decisions from your heart. Because you’re worth it.
Are you ready to switch the light back on?
If yes, then I invite you to spend 5 days with me in the Northern part of Holland. You will leave feeling nourished in every possible way, connected and confident to start doing life your way. Bye, bye society’s expectations. You got this.

Our retreat space
You will be staying in de Wierschuur, in Hippolytushoef, the Netherlands. This is a beautiful and tranquil monumental old farm, made into a luxury villa style group accommodation. It’s located in the middle of the Dutch ‘polder’, with sheep, cows, and endless corn and grass fields surrounding our private space. The sea is at a 10-minute bike ride, and the farm itself has plenty of space indoors and outdoors for you to relax, read a book by the fire or just chill in the garden.
You have 3 different room options to choose from, private queen, private single and shared. All rooms have comfortable beds, beautiful interiors, bedlinen and towels, a private bathroom with toilet, a desk for you to write in your journal and big windows to look outside into the garden and over the farm lands. They are a lovely space for you to retreat yourself from the group and to rest.

Next level nourishing, healthy food
The food we eat every day can be a medicine to nourish, strengthen and heal imbalances in your body and your brain. Therefore our private chef serves the most delicious, next level healthy, nourishing meals. Most of our products are locally sourced and organic. All meals are vegetarian, and many are vegan. Vegetables are the basis of every dish, but don’t be fooled! You won’t go hungry here and this isn’t rabbit style food. Your stomach is going to love our food! I believe that everybody and every body is different, so we will do our best to cater for most dietary restrictions or wishes you may have. But please confirm first before booking if the chef can work with your request. There are always snacks available for those who need some bites in between. We talk about the food you get served, explain the benefits and how we cook it, and in this way inspire you to try these dishes at home!

What my guests love about this retreat
”This retreat was absolutely amazing, and I loved every minute of it. Myrthe was so heartwarming and welcoming, and she really made this experience unforgettable. She also created such a nice space for us to be ourselves, to be vulnerable and to be open. The program was great, and every single detail was so well thought through and personal. I loved the yoga sessions, the meditations and the workshops so much! I would do it again over and over, and can't recommend it enough. It taught me a lot about myself and made me so mindful of how to continue living my life after the retreat. The food was also so healthy, nourishing and delicious. This was definitely the best "gift" I've ever given myself”
“Het retreat was FAN-TAS-TISCH! Het is eigenlijk niet in woorden te vatten, zo’n bijzondere en mooie ervaring. Alles is tot in de puntjes geregeld voor ons: top locatie, geweldig & gezond eten & drinken, heerlijke yogalessen en een relaxte sfeer. Ik kan maar een tip geven aan anderen: boek zo snel als je kunt het volgende retreat. Dit moet je meemaken als je op zoek bent naar de balans in je leven, of gewoon om jezelf te trakteren op een heerlijke week!“
I don’t even know where to start. This retreat exceeded any expectations I thought I had. It was truly the most amazing experience. I can’t fault anything, not one thing. I loved every moment. From the yoga classes and different styles, to the food, activities, massages and the workshops. The location of the retreat is set in the most beautiful surroundings. You wake up to birds, nature sounds and breakfast ready. I loved how the group was nice and small so wasn’t overwhelming. I would go back in a heart beat. Thankyou Myrthe you arranged the most brilliant week away, I didn’t have to think about one thing but show up. 10 stars”
“Het was heel fijn om een paar dagen lang alleen maar te hoeven ontvangen; je bent op een mooie locatie, er wordt heerlijk voor je gekookt en er is een fijn programma van yoga, massage en andere activiteiten. Verder hoeft er niks. Zo heb je tijd om jezelf en je gewoonten en patronen eens onder de loep te nemen. Ik voelde me na afloop energieker, lichter en meer mezelf”
“The entire experience was beautiful from the start. Myrthe and her team made me feel safe and loved. The other women were incredible. I know the universe orchestrated this meeting for a reason. This retreat is a gorgeous and safe environment where you are given permission to go inward and make yourself a priority.”
“I wish I could have stayed longer. It's like switching on the light again. This retreat offers so many ways to get in touch with your body, mind and soul again. It's a great place to explore your health on different levels.”
