A 3-Day Transformational Retreat

Remember Who You Truly Are

Does life feel heavier than it should? Or is there something you're ready to finally change? Thinking about it isn't the answer. Feeling it, deeper, is. In one weekend, you put down what you've been carrying for far too long and come home to yourself. Calm within. More loving toward the people you care about. Steadier under pressure. More self-belief. And real clarity on what your path here on earth actually is.

Sound familiar?

You've done the work. Something still feels unfinished.

You're successful on paper. You've read the books, done the courses, maybe years of therapy. And yet a quiet voice keeps asking: is this really it?

🌫️

You feel a low-grade disconnection from yourself, from people, from life.

🎒

You're carrying old pain or patterns you can't seem to think your way out of.

🌀️

You numb out through work, scrolling, and busyness to avoid feeling what's underneath.

🌊

You sense there's a deeper, more alive version of you that you've lost touch with.

🔧

You've tried to "fix" yourself, but insight alone never seems to create real change.

🕊️

You long to feel present, free, and genuinely connected, not just functional.

You're not broken. You're not behind.

You've simply spent years living from your head, protecting old wounds. What you're looking for isn't something to add. It's something to remember.

Why this works

Your mind is built to protect you. That’s also what keeps you stuck.

There's a reason a single weekend can create real change. Most of what you carry isn't a problem your head can solve. It's stored in your body and nervous system, learned a long time ago as protection. Talking about it brings understanding, but understanding rarely reaches the place where it's actually stuck. This work goes further. It quiets the protective, analytical part of you long enough to feel what's underneath. That's how old, negative patterns can finally be released, and through the integration afterward, turned into patterns and behavior that actually support you.

The journey itself

What happens
You drop beneath the noise and reconnect with who you really are
What shifts
Old pain is felt, seen, and released, not just understood
What you feel
Lighter, clearer, and more alive, often immediately

The integration after

What happens
A 1:1 integration call to anchor your insights into daily life
What shifts
Insight becomes new habits, calmer nervous system, real change
What you feel
Still present and grounded weeks and months later

Integration is what makes the shift permanent. That's why a personal integration call is part of every journey.

Ruben, your guide
Meet your guide

Hi, I'm Ruben.

My first journey in 2017 opened my eyes to what real, deep connection with ourselves actually is, and how to reach it every day. I meditated more than 7,000 hours, invested over €75,000 in my own development, and learned from some of the very best teachers in the world. In 2021, I received the blessing to lead my own ceremonies.

96% rate communication with Ruben 4 or 5 stars out of 5 · 87% call it a perfect 5/5

"The look in people's eyes after a weekend like this… it's priceless."

I know this world is meant to be heaven on earth. Our conditioning is what makes us forget. My role isn't to heal you. It's to create a safe, sacred space and help you remember who you already are, at your core. After guiding more than 200 people on this path, I've learned this: the weekend itself will feel magical. What's even more magical is the person you become afterward.

A glimpse inside

Moments from inside the space.

What's included

A complete journey, from the first conversation through integration.

Our goal? That after the ceremony, you actually feel something in your life has changed.

Live music during ceremony

Held in sound by Anouk & Yora

Music isn't background here. It's part of how the space holds you. Our ceremonies are accompanied live by Anouk & Yora, a singer-songwriter duo of two sisters whose poetic, intimate songs (in English and Dutch) are written about life, self-discovery and coming home to yourself.

They've sung at festivals, weddings and ceremonies across the Netherlands, and their voices create a tender, grounding container that helps you soften, feel, and let go. Many participants say the music was one of the most moving parts of the weekend.

And now every night, since I came back, it is still with me. I still feel so, so much, and there's still so much happening. I'm really feeling so much more powerful again.

It taught me how important being kind and loving to yourself is. I got my loving voice back. I saw my inner power and the importance of boundaries. It was so relieving to be surrounded by such a loving presence. It's insane.

Honest answers

Let's address what you're really wondering.

Is this safe?

Safety is our highest priority. We work in small groups (max 13), with an experienced guide present throughout. Before you join, we screen for medical contra-indications and talk through your situation personally on the clarity call. If it isn't safe or right for you, we won't proceed.

Do I need any experience?

No. Most people arrive for their first time. The preparation course and your personal intention call get you fully ready. All you need to bring is openness and honesty.

I've tried a lot of things already. Why would this be different?

Because this reaches a depth that talking and thinking rarely do. Most people describe it as one of the most powerful experiences of their lives. And we don't leave you there: with preparation beforehand and a personal integration call afterward, the shift actually becomes part of your daily life. A powerful experience, made to last.

What if I'm nervous or scared?

That's completely normal, and often a sign you're ready. Challenging moments can be part of the process, and you're never alone in them. Breath, presence, and a guide who's walked this path are there to support you the whole way.

How do I know if I'm ready?

Take the free Readiness Assessment above. It gives you a clear, personal picture in two minutes. Then we go deeper together on your free clarity call. No pressure, no obligation.

What does it cost and what's included?

Journeys start at €750 for the complete weekend, with two further levels for deeper integration and 1:1 coaching. Everything is included: ceremonies, meals, the accommodation option, preparation, and aftercare. We'll help you choose the right level on your call.
