Jump on board for a wonderful mindful program on the Wadden
We will return to the place where it all started a few years ago with our SOUL expeditions, the beautiful Wadden. In this area with sheltered, typically Dutch waters where the tide rushes in and out and seals rest on the sandbanks, you anchor near Terschelling and Vlieland.
Our 'toolkit' has now been considerably expanded. The SOUL sessions will be a bit more 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 breathwork (sometimes with cacao ceremony). No experience is necessary, the magic is in letting go. Then the rest will follow automatically.
The sessions are partly on board, partly in 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).
Do you play an instrument and would you like to take it with you? Nice! Know that there is a guitar and ukulele on board that you can use as well.
Experience shows that it is the combination of our SOUL sessions with the elements that makes the effect on your Self so intense. In addition to experiencing peace and releasing emotions, guests regularly receive the most beautiful insights or spiritual experiences, which enhances the experience on the 'Marie' even more.
The captain is the cook. He prepares fresh vegetarian meals and the occasional fish for you every day, except on the 3rd day. Then he has time off and you go eat somewhere on shore at your own expense.
Lex: 'There really is more between heaven and earth. An impressive ship, two beautiful people and the angle cards didn't lie. We had delicious meals and sailed, thanks Harry. The exercises and attention to mindful experience were a new discovery, thanks Isabel. Had a wonderful breath of fresh air and returned home with an enriched feeling. Time flew by. Life on the water is certainly a different dimension than on land! Recommended. Namaste.”
