👉🏼 What you get:
A three-days (2 nights) luxury experience in the midst of nature, easily reachable by train (Station Hilversum) or car.
A weekend without a program, so you have the freedom to do what you want, when you want. No pressure. No expectations.
The chance to join (three) optional guided workshops that spark personal growth and reflection, creativity, presence and mental calm.
Food will be prepared by 'Bij de Tuinman' - the vegetarian restaurant that will prep two breakfast and lunch buffets, and two top-notch 2-course dinners. Fruit, snacks, coffee, tea, juices and are available 24/7.
The opportunity for long nature walks in nature reserce de Hilversumse Hei, yoga, arts & crafts activities, board games, conversations, and a dedicated quiet zone for undisturbed me-time.
Plenty of space to be alone, in the company of others. We provide gentle (creative) prompts that help you reconnect, both with yourself and others.
👉🏼 Program and Activities:
Screw timetables and meetings - our lives are too busy already! The power of The Offline Getaway is that there is no program, so you can do whatever, whenever:
Wake up with a fresh croissant or yoghurt bowl, read a book by the fireplace, journal in the morning sun, take an easy nature stroll, or just be. Our retreat hosts will guide a total of three optional activity/workshop, which you are free to join if you feel like it.
Of course, we will bring plenty offline activities to keep you busy, like arts, crafts & painting supplies, personal reflection exercises, journaling prompts, board games, outdoor games, puzzles and more.
At night, gather around the dinner table, and have conversations with the others, but only if you feel like it. Oh, and enjoy that we'll do your dishes, so you can sit back and feel like a prince(ss) 😉!
Arrival: Friday, July 24, around 18:00
Departure: Sunday, July 26, around 15:00
*Please note that all guided activities are optional. More activities may arise spontaneously, initiated by guests themselves, true community style (which is always beautiful!).
👉🏼 The Location:
