Teachers

This retreat is an exceptional getaway for those who are interested in learning techniques that will pave the way to greater physical and mental well-being as well as the deepening of the spiritual path. People from all walks of life and different experiences with meditation can benefit equally from this experience. This retreat was organized with a lot of love, warmth, and care. Everything from the location to the agenda to the material itself was carefully and consciously selected. The environment was very serene and beautiful. And the food simply can’t be beaten!

I really enjoyed last summer’s retreat. The combination of yoga, meditation, chi, fantastic food, beautiful location, silence and above all the guidance by Martin and Marije was great. A beautiful and impressive experience, which has brought me peace of mind and a happy and clear head.

Going to this retreat was one of  the best decisions I ever made. The environment is lovely, the food gorgeous and the quality of teaching bar none. It was my first introduction to meditation and Martin’s practical approach made it immediately accessible. His dedication, sense of humour and deep understanding of others allowed each one of us to discover and enjoy this beautiful practice altogether but at our own individual pace. This combined with the gentle femininity of Marijes yin yoga classes, Qi Qong, delicious food and the sublime silence made for a life-changing experience.

Marije’s nice morning yoga made sure that I woke up smoothly and slowly.
It was wonderful to experience the peace and quiet between so many people.
And all week delicious food was cooked for you by Karel and Jarka. No meal was the same.
From our meditation teacher: Martin Pack I learned the mindful meditation by practicing this several times every day with and without the group. My head became more and more quiet and calm. His guidance with great humor and kindness sharpened my technique in meditation.
And in my daily worries I keep returning to it. To experience the peace in my head and in my heart again.

I am always looking for a relaxing and energizing retreat to regain space in my body and mind. This retreat, under the warm and professional guidance of Martin and Marije, was a true gift. The best quality food for body, mind and spirit was served! All vegan, strengthening, relaxing and discharging! Which made this week a wonderful experience. Thank you so much!

Marije offers the perfect blend of down-to-earth-approach and spiritual guidance, topped of with little sparkles of fun. Very accessable for all levels. I always end up feeling totally loose, light, strong, balanced and happy

The silent retreat was very well organized. Martin and Marije were incredibly supportive throughout the week. One of the best aspects was the movement breaks we had with yoga and walking in nature. The food was another highlight. Each meal was nutritious and delicious. They accommodated my food sensitivities. The environment was also comfortable, ideal for personal introspection and relaxation. Daily check-ins with Martin were invaluable. His guidance helped me navigate through my journey of self-discovery and self-reflection. I highly recommend everyone to take time and go through such experience!

I really liked the Mindful Silent Retreat. It was a beautiful week filled with the space and support I needed. Marije introduced me to Yin Yoga and surprised me with the exercises. it felt calming and healing and she always added something like a joke or a new perspective. Martin’s guidance was full of compassion. I had many questions about the practice, about why we do what we do. I did not always get the answer I wanted. But I always walked away smiling and feeling grounded.

This retreat was my initiation into the world of meditation and mindfulness. Martin’s teaching and storytelling made it instantly approachable. His commitment, humor, and insight helped each participant on his or her own path. The mindfulness was supportred by the (yin) yoga sessions, the delish vegan food, and the silence. An experience that really altered my view on life.

Martin inspired trust and gave me the confidence I needed to keep going

A wonderful week in a cozy quiet center “Het Hof van Kairos” in the east of the country.There I experienced a Vipassana Mindful meditation led by Martin, with lots of wonderful personal guidance. Yin Yoga given every day by Marije. She did this in her own playful way, very warm. In addition, 100% plant-based, organic, healthy, fresh food was prepared during this retreat to fully support us during this week. All this was prepared in love by Jarka and Karel. Everything in silence to really turn into myself.
Thank you very much for this special week.

Practicing yoga with Marije gave me the inspiration to dive into the spiritual world. A great teacher who taught me various exercises and techniques to calm the nervous system. Through her meditation, yin-yoga and hatha yoga teaching I have found the way to my own balance and peace of mind.

Martin has a the gift for making everyone feel welcome. He took a genuine interest in how each person was getting along with the practice and would a give individual guidance.
