a Spiritual Retreat

Are you at a crossroad in your life? Are you sensing that there is more for you in this life?

Are you seeking mind/body healing, self-love, a balanced mind, and clarity of spiritual life purpose?

A spiritual retreat is a precious gift you can give ourselves. A complete break from our lives, the way we operate and if we are courageous, also from the past.

"Do it, and you will see delight. You will see vast expanses. When your heart is open, then reality can come. Then the whispers of your own prejudices, your own noises are not heard. That is why it is good to take a retreat, to go away and to stop the routine, not only the routine of outward existence but the routine which the mind establishes for its own safety and convenience. Those who have the opportunity should try it"

A spiritual retreat which you design!

We offer the opportunity for you to create this retreat, with help and support from the staff of the Secret Garden.

You decide:

• what your goals are and what you want to achieve
• the duration of the retreat
  
• the date of the retreat
• where you like support and guidance from the staff
• how much interaction you want with others

One of the staff will be in contact with you to help you design your retreat. We are completely committed to you reaching your goals and have the best possible experience ever.

Some people like to come and want minimal interaction. They like to spend their time in silence. We bring the meals to their accommodations and see very little of them. We have accommodations where you truly feel left "alone" in nature. A great power comes from having absolutely no distractions in this way.

Other people like to be on a schedule and want more interaction with us. For us we hold it that we go on the journey with you together. We might start the day together doing yoga followed with a healthy yummy breakfast. Then we might meditate together and discuss some. Lunch is served. The afternoon is usually spend alone, exploring the beautiful nature surroundings or enjoying the many resting areas of the gardens of the Secret Garden. We come together for tapa's and have a great meditation for the evening.

So you see there are many different ways to create your retreat.
