We will share together a sound meditation around the fire, under a night sky full of stars. Perfect moment to let go of what burdens you. We welcome sharing your thoughts and feelings in this safe sacred circle, if you will want. 🍲 Enjoy rich nutritious autumn themed vegetarian meals. (vegan is also an option) 🪵 Unwind in the hot sauna, swim in a natural swimming pond or treat yourself to an optional 1-on-1 private massage with Elaine on Sunday morning. We created this retreat from a very personal place. We know what it feels like to run on empty, to deal with chronic pain, to feel overwhelmed and lost. This weekend is a gentle invitation to leave your worries at the gate, step out of "doing" mode, slow down and simply be cared for with love, intentional self-care and also to experience the healing power of being nurtured within a supportive women's community.🧡🧡🧡 Together, we create a space where you can rest, reconnect with yourself, and embrace the slower rhythm of autumn through Yoga and Ayurveda. We would love for you to be part of it. 🍂

Testimonials

info

In een rustig en bijzonder omgeving, Nana zorgt voor een prettig en ontspannend les, die help om alles los te laten en tot je zelf te komen.

Rebeca, netherlands

Na enige inspanning voel ik me echt ontspannen. Nana past zich aan op mijn kunnen en mijn welzijn. Na een paar lessen is mijn spierkracht toegenomen en spierklachten al vermindert. Een mooie ervaring!!

Annelien, Netherlands

As soon as I arrived at the Maker’s barn, I immediately felt peace inside me. The space they made for this workshop was really beautiful, warm and welcoming. The energy there was inviting. Nana prepared water, tea, fruits and snacks to make sure that you are not hungry or thirsty, and we could be there with our full energy. Everything I did at this workshop was easy, fun and nurturing to my body and mind, but I loved Nana’s Yin Yoga very much as she took some time between poses for us to really feel it in our bodies. This way, I was able to observe how my body was feeling after each posture, and my focus was really on my body, not my mind. I found it a great way of feeling the connection between the body and the mind.
