Nature day retreat 2022
On the edge of the picturesque little town of Vogelenzang lies family estate Buitengewoon. On this property you will find a grand organic garden where they grow anything from strawberries to lettuce. This is the backdrop for our one day getaway. Here we’ll have outdoor group sessions overlooking the meadows, eat fresh fruit straight from the orchard and wander mindfully into the adjacent forrest.
This day retreat is for anybody who wants to (re)connect with nature, with themselves and with likeminded others. At the end of this day you will have calmed your mind by aligning with nature.
‘‘What a wonderful and special day! From the very beginning the vibe was relaxed and familiar. They really thought of éverything making the day go by so smooth and natural.’’ - Fleur

‘‘Walking in the forest and picking fruits and veggies directly from the garden were my favourite parts even though I originally signed up for the yoga. Somehow wandering in the nature was definitely needed after staying too much in the concrete jungle that I live in’’ - Melvil

Nature does what it wants
Since this day is all about connecting with nature we are dependant on the weather to offer our activities. We also ask for your understanding about the possibility to pick in the garden: depending on the time of year and the weather, sometimes nature provides but sometimes it doesn't.
