Jump on board for a wonderful mindful program on the Wadden
In 2025 we will return to the beautiful Wadden for the entire season! In this vast area with sheltered, typically Dutch waters where the tides rush through the creeks, seals rest on the sandbanks, you will go to (or anchor at) Terschelling and Vlieland. You will notice that you lose track of time as soon as you are on the water. How nice is that, just getting away from it all....
Our 'toolkit' has been expanded with nature caching, cacao ceremonies and the SOUL sessions we had will be different here and there. In any case, they remain playful, with a combination of mindful energy flow, creative expression (dance, voice liberation, mantra singing, intuitive painting or writing), sensory walks, qi gong, Tension Releasing Exercises (TRE) and breathing exercises. No experience is necessary, the magic is in letting go. Then the rest will follow automatically.
The sessions are partly on board, partly in the beautiful nature (dried mudflats, dunes, forest and beach). In between there is plenty of time to chill and do what you need (swimming, walking, reading, writing or just doing nothing in the hammock).
We invite you to live our slogan: 'Enjoy the Room to Be'. So if you need to eat something in between? Just open the cupboard. Or do you want to be alone in the hammock or skip a training? That's fine. Feeling what serves you and acting accordingly helps you to relax more and more, to enjoy and to be open to the effect of the SOUL sessions.
Do you play an instrument and would you like to bring it with you? Great! Know that there is a guitar and ukulele on board that you can also use.
If we can sail and it fits in the program, then we sail. Otherwise we sail. The weather is of course always leading.
'you can't change the wind, but you can adjust your sails'
Experience shows that it is precisely the combination of our SOUL sessions with the elements that makes the effect on yourself so intense. Guests regularly experience the most beautiful insights or spiritual experiences, in addition to rest and emotional release.
In addition to 'the food for the SOUL,' 'the captain is the cook.' He prepares delicious, fresh vegetarian meals every day and occasionally a fish for you, except on the 3rd day. Then he has a day off and you go somewhere on shore to eat at your own expense.
Caroline: 'Spent Ascension weekend on the beautiful 'Marie'. Sun, sea, heavenly mudflats, delicious food, living in a bubble for a while. Yoga, air, seals, fun, cold, discomfort, sadness, the giggles. Recognition, connection, safety, the tangible love of Isabelle and Harry. Cleansed from the inside, my soul back in balance, ready for the challenges in my life. No one can take this away from me. Heavenly.'
Lex: 'There really is more between heaven and earth. An impressive ship, two wonderful people and the maps did not lie. We had a wonderful meal and sailed, thanks Harry. The exercises and attention to mindful experience were a new discovery, thanks Isabel. Wonderfully blown out and returned home with an enriched feeling. Time flew by. Life on water is certainly a different dimension than on land! Highly recommended. Namaste.'
