This 18+ Dutch program offers a 4 or 8 session program or the option to participate single sessions. A structured and practical approach to gaining deep insights into yourself and furthering your personal development.

Through various activities such as movement, writing exercises, yoga, meditation, and a powerful combination of psychological and artistic methods, you will work towards your personal growth and self-expression.
This journey is entirely yours—move at your own pace and make your own choices. Everything is optional; you’re in control. Your safety matters, so you decide what to share with the group—or keep to yourself!
And if you feel like it, let this experience also connect you to like-minded individuals, while you develop new, valuable skills that you can use for the rest of your life!
Join us and discover what feeling, experiencing, and being mean to you!
Tuesdays are for the single workshops, while Wednesdays are for the full and short programs.

Our program consists of 4 or 8 unique sessions, where we explore a different theme in depth each week. From awareness and trust to letting go of what no longer serves you, and gratitude—each lesson is an opportunity to discover a new aspect of yourself. Each theme is brought to life through various artistic disciplines.
The full program lasts for the first 8 weeks, while the short program covers the last 4 weeks. Check below.
Why Choose the Long-Term Program?
-
In-Depth Development Process:
- The full program offers a more comprehensive and profound approach to personal growth and development. Each session builds upon the last, enabling a holistic transformation.
-
Ongoing Support:
- With all 12 sessions, participants have more time and space to work on their personal goals and challenges, with guidance and support over a span of 4 months—even outside the sessions. You can always call us if you need help or simply want to share your thoughts.
-
Broader Range of Topics:
- By covering all topics, participants gain a wider variety of insights and techniques. This allows you to explore what works best for you, so you can integrate these practices into your daily life. The program provides a well-rounded and complete understanding of yourself and your potential.
-
Long-Lasting Results:
- A longer program fosters more sustainable changes and reflection opportunities. The time and effort invested in the full program can lead to deeply rooted and lasting transformations. Much of the knowledge and experiences will become embedded in your subconscious, making it easier to integrate them into your everyday life.
Choosing the full program offers a richer, more supportive, and transformative experience, helping you unlock your full potential.
Why Choose the Short-Term Program?
-
Flexibility and Accessibility:
- The short program is less time-intensive, making it easier to fit into a busy schedule. This makes it more accessible for people with work, family, or other commitments.
-
Lower Financial Barrier:
- If you're in a tight financial situation, the short program is more achievable. But know that we’re always open to finding solutions! Send us an email, and we’ll work something out together, okay?
-
Introduction and Exploration:
- The short program is perfect for newcomers wanting to experience our approach. In just 6 weeks, you can discover if our sessions align with your personal needs and goals, without committing to a long-term program.
The short program offers flexibility and financial accessibility, ideal for busy individuals or those on a budget. Learn beautiful things about yourself and grow closer to your core in a short amount of time.
Our programs offer you an inspiring journey towards self-awareness and personal growth. Choose between single sessions, a 6-week or 12-week program. We start with a check-in to land and connect. Then, we dive into the theme through philosophical conversations and meditation. The creative heart of the session consists of the main assignments, where you can express and deepen yourself through art and mindfulness. We close with a relaxing savasana and a group check-out.
