Recharge & Relax

This retreat is only in Dutch

An introduction to living in mindful consciousness.

Through yoga, meditation and workshops you will move into deep relaxation and cultivate a more peaceful and loving approach to life. You also get tools to live more intuitively. The advantage is that you can make better choices in your life. That creates more peace and confidence.

A typical day consists of a meditation in the morning, a workshop and an energizing yoga session after breakfast (suitable for all levels), free time after lunch and a workshop and restorative yoga session before dinner.

Your supervisors: Petra & Kalenzo

We have also experienced the struggle ourselves... stress, loneliness in relationships and unfulfilling and boring work. A lot of effort for little joy. Until we finally got sick.

But deep inside us there was a little voice that pointed us in a different direction. Several teachers helped us along the way. A path where we discovered our passions and experienced more and more joy.

Petra is a health therapist, mindfulness trainer, yoga teacher and masseuse.

Kalenzo has a training in psycho-dynamics and is an African dance teacher.

Fate brought us together to share and spread that joy and knowledge.

What can you expect?

Yoga

Each day, you will practice the art of conscious movement with activating Hatha yoga in the morning and deeply restorative yin yoga in the evening, aimed at bringing awareness and harmony to the body-mind connection.

This practice anchors you in your breathing and sets a gentle, self-compassionate tone for the day. All sessions take place in our beautiful barn.

Reflective workshops

The workshops are designed to help you live more consciously and intuitively. You will be given tools that you can easily take with you and use in your daily life.

By working mindfully, consciously and purposefully, you will feel relaxed, joyful and recharged.

WHAT PARTICIPANTS SAY

I attended a yoga retreat on the beautiful and enormous domain of Petra and Kalenzo in the south of France. The domain is located at the end of a dead-end street on a hill in the middle of fields and forests. From the domain you have a distant and wonderful view not only of the fields and forests, but also of the black mountains and, if you are lucky, of the Pyrenees. The domain has a large swimming pool surrounded by chairs and parasols. There are cozy places spread across the domain where you can relax: read, enjoy the sun or some shade. You can stay in a beautifully decorated room, your own house or in a loft.

Every day there was meditation, hatha and yin yoga in a large converted barn, with a warm wooden floor and one of the large side doors almost always was open so it looked like you were doing yoga outside. This way you could enjoy the beautiful view and the large tree nearby during the exercises. Both Petra and Kalenzo taught meditation and yoga. Their warm and soft voice brought me into a nice yoga flow and deep meditation. I really relaxed. Their yoga exercises were very varied, different every day. The whole body was discussed. Based on group discussions, Kalenzo and Petra also provided training in zest for life and in making dreams come true, .... .

During my free moments I took a nice walk near the domain. At another free moment we went for a walk with the whole group a little further away from where we had beautiful views. I also enjoyed a relaxation massage and a Thai massage a day later.

I was extremely happy there and I will definitely go back.
