Dates: Friday 15 to Sunday 17 December 2023
With: Marta Font & Sanne Kerkhof
All levels

Rituals and traditions often refer to the connection with the rhythms of nature. With the movement of the earth, sun, moon and stars. For all lunar calendar traditions, November, December and January are the winter months. And in all cultures around the world, we often find the “festivals of lights” during the period of the shortest days of the year.
The Qi moves inward. It is the Yin time. The Qi of trees moves to the trunk and roots, the tubers of plants are filled and the branches and leaves wither. Our body craves Yin food that turns inward and nourishes and warms our organs, closes the pores and helps our consciousness turn inward. It is the time of looking back, of contemplation and self-reflection and of immersing ourselves in the Drenthe countryside.
The combination of Silence, Vegetarian meals, Yoga and Nature gives you time to switch off and regain the strength & space to deal with life’s challenges.
