multi-day RESURRECTION

quintessence.jpg

In Dutch , quintessence stands for what it is essentially about.

The heart of the matter. The heart.

That is exactly what we are looking for in this retreat.

Finding the essential in ourselves and focusing on what is essential to live life fully with confidence.

In ancient philosophy, quintessence is the fifth element, next to fire, air, water and earth. These five themes are interwoven in the program.

Why is this period of reflection and rest interesting to you ?

  • You take time to relax and reflect on what is important

  • You break habits and look at things differently and you learn to be grateful

  • You learn how to make better use of the free moments for yourself

  • You discover that happiness and success are also for you

  • You learn to make choices and to distinguish the superfluous from the essential

  • I explain how you can better distribute energy between daytime tasks, work and leisure time

  • You see again that family and friends are an enrichment for yourself, instead of a burden

  • You experience more freedom and less pressure from "what must"

  • You shine again because your self-confidence gets a boost

  In this RESURRECTION WEEK I will introduce you to the POTENTIAL that is inside you in a playful and relaxing way.

And that you do not use enough to get the best out of yourself and your life.

Simply cozy, practical to use

without hassle and with a lot

attention to the inspiring nature and environment

Language

As true Belgians, we all speak our own language. I am multilingual myself and I like to adapt to the group. So that it remains easily understandable for everyone and language barriers do not get a grip on the social aspect of this retreat. My experience shows that these are the best ways to connect.

Content

What are we doing?

Every day we work on a theme that brings us closer to our "quintessence". We integrate nature and the environment in the exercises. I always sketch the theoretical framework in advance, which is also included in a handy reference work. We give others the space and time to fully experience the experience (often in silence) and exchange afterwards. Interaction is important, but just as quiet and deepening.

How does a day go?

Every day there is a moment of reflection and rest on the program. This can be done in a group or individually. One day we also go to the beach to greet the sun.

We eat a healthy breakfast and start with the first part of the day where training and coaching complement each other.

After lunch, we allow ourselves time to settle things mentally, physically and emotionally. We enjoy the pool, the garden and the surroundings

In the afternoon we build up further with an excursion or an exercise and I also provide you with handy tools or tools to further explore the theme.

We have the evening meal where attention is given to mindful eating and gratitude.

Then I close the day to integrate the learned things. Then there is time for an evening stroll, some journaling or downright relaxation in the area

Healthy dose of relaxation

We slow down, rest and reflect. This renewal week aims to come to ourselves, you cannot accelerate that. It's about the experience, living things through and taking them in.

There are also times when you can discover the area yourself with your own transport.

We are also taking cultural action

There are many interesting cultural attractions in the area: museums (Dali), historical villages, monasteries, ...

And also:

  • Eating together and sharing pleasant moments

  • Laugh and have fun

  • Making time for each other and personal conversations

  • Silent moments and enough space to withdraw yourself
