A new perspective

Do you long for time and space for yourself, and are you looking for a new perspective? Perhaps you are at a crossroads in your life, where you find yourself standing still. Or are you continuing to push yourself along a path that no longer feels right?

Whether it concerns your job, relationship, family, or company, it all starts with you. Are you willing to open yourself completely to your unique soul journey and to be guided by your inner wisdom? It’s time to discover what’s possible and take the next step toward your true destiny.

Do you recognize this? 

Do you feel that a current form in either your private or professional life no longer suits you? And that you don’t make new choices because you keep reasoning in circles and clinging to the old?

Do you long for peace, clarity, and confidence to take the next step and look forward? Time and space for yourself to get moving from a new perspective?

Then a private retreat completely tailored to you can help you!

Do you experience

Turmoil in your current job, which causes you to lose energy instead of gaining it. 

Uncertainty due to a transition phase such as burnout or outplacement, so that you do not know what step to take next.

Tension when making important decisions within your company results in making no choice at all.

Dissatisfaction in your relationship that you do not dare to express because of fear of the consequences.

Feeling unhappy despite a ‘reasonable’ relationship and job, wondering if there isn’t more to life.

Choose yourself

Choosing yourself is often seen as selfish, but it is precisely by taking good care of yourself that you can serve others best.

During the 2021 lockdown, I took a brave step by leaving my career as a coronavirologist behind. After 25 years of hard work and study, I decided to start my own company called From Thinking to Being. In 2023 I help people on a daily basis to break old patterns and live their most beautiful life. You too can choose yourself without taking such rigorous steps as I did.

A pure soul journey

Open yourself to your soul journey and give yourself space to transform. Step out of the daily hustle and bustle and take the time to reflect on where you are now and where you want to go in life. Experience what it feels like to be completely yourself and focus on your spiritual development and personal growth.

During your retreat, you can release blockages and old identities, break through old patterns and open yourself up to new possibilities and insights. It is an inward journey, where you connect with your own intuition and inner wisdom. On your journey, I am your spiritual guide, energetic coach, and catalyst. You purify yourself and can discover what lives deep inside you in order to make a deep connection with yourself. A retreat can lead to increased awareness, more peace, confidence, and inner strength.

I had a great experience with Hélène. I was able to relax and be myself for a few days. She created a program that perfectly suited my needs and guided me in a loving and knowledgeable way. It was exactly what I needed to dive deep into myself and gain new insights. I would highly recommend visiting Hélène if you are looking for a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment to grow and discover who you really are. Thank you Hélène.

Testimonials

“The private retreat with Hélène changed my life. It was truly a magical experience! The location is beautiful, surrounded by greenery and animals, which immediately creates a sense of tranquility. The food is prepared with love and mostly comes from Hélène‘s own organic garden. Hélène is an excellent host who makes sure everything is perfect. She listens without judgment and flawlessly senses what you are going through. She supports where necessary, but also gives you the space to go through your own processes. I am extremely grateful for this experience and highly recommend Hélène!” – Annemarie

“I recently did a long weekend individual retreat with Hélène and it was fantastic to relax there. The program was completely tailored to my personal needs. The location was a wonderful place where I just could be me,  do absolutely nothing for a while and just be in the moment. Hélène is a great energetic coach and we had very nice conversations that led to valuable insights. At the end of the day, I could relax in the sauna, which was wonderful. Hélène is a loving hostess and made me feel at home. I look back on the weekend with a warm feeling.” – Natascha

“Several times I came to @Hélène and every time it feels like coming home. All this thanks to the relaxing environment, the homemade food, the sauna, and of course Hélène herself. The last time during my private retreat I received an energetic head massage where Hélène guided me on a journey deep within. This has unleashed something so that the way for me as an artist is now clearer than ever. With more self-confidence I now continue my path more purposefully than ever, stating my boundaries firmly and stepping over fears every time. My heart is more open than ever, thanks to Hélène and the home she has to offer.” – Sander

“When I arrived at Hélène’s, my head was full of stories and thoughts that kept haunting me. But after just three days of retreat, I felt completely different. My head was calmer and I no longer had the tendency to keep thinking back to old stories and problems that I couldn’t distance myself from before. The conversations and treatments I had with Hélène all contributed to this. I felt safe and supported throughout the experience, and it was just what I needed to recover and recharge. Thanks!” – Sanne.

Frequently asked questions

What does a private retreat look like?

At the agreed time you will be welcomed in your private retreat cottage. After you have settled in, we discuss the planning of the treatments. With a basic retreat you will receive an energetic head treatment, with the guided retreat all sessions as explained in the welcome document are included and possible. We will continue to coordinate on this during your stay. All meals are provided at both retreats, part of which will be ready in your accommodation, another part I will bring at the agreed time. A small snack in between is available, but if you wish to eat specific things in between, please bring your own.

Please note, if you want a guided psychedelic plant medicine tour, you must extend your stay with an extra day and night. Together we discuss in advance what the best plant medicine is for you.

Furthermore, prior to your guided private retreat, you will receive an online energetic intuitive introduction and attunement, and a few weeks afterward there is the possibility of a final conversation.

Which guided sessions are possible?

If you book a guided retreat, we will coordinate during your stay which treatment at which time is most suitable for your process. Think of an energetic head treatment, an energetic intuitive consultation, bodywork such as Body Remembers Trauma Therapy, ceremonies with or without plant medicines, coaching conversations, yoga, and meditations.
Together we look at your current situation. What do your thoughts and the situations you run into have to tell you? It doesn’t matter whether your situation concerns your private life, relationships, or work. We are going to zoom out and take a different perspective. I will take you into the energy of BEING, so that you can purify and release stories, emotions, and whatever else comes up. You will leave your cottage after a few days with renewed energy.

Where do I stay during my private retreat?

You stay fully catered for in your own private retreat house with a living room with a fantastic view of the polder. You also have a bedroom with a double bed and a work/dining room, your own bathroom, and a kitchen. You can enjoy the garden in the summer and cozy up in front of the fireplace in the winter. The cottage is located at the back of the yard of @Hélène retreat center in De Bilt, the Netherlands. Easily accessible by public transport and parking on site.

How does the registration process go / how far in advance do I need to book?

Booking is based on the availability of the private retreat house and myself. Sometimes there is space available at short notice (mainly during the week), but you can also book further in advance (if you would like a weekend). Feel free to contact me to coordinate when your retreat can take place.

If you are interested, request the free welcome document. All information is described in detail here. 

You can also immediately request a free introductory meeting, where I can explain my working method and together we determine whether my offer suits you.

Frequently heard reasons not to opt for a private retreat.

1. I’m not ready yet.
Do you wait until there is so much pain that you hit rock bottom? Many people do, before they realize that they can look at life in a different way. But I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. How intense is your pain (and your longing) now? Then ask yourself if that will change on its own.

2. I can do it alone or online.
Of course, you can do it alone and you are allowed to do it alone. Only it takes much longer, you don’t see your own blind spots and it takes much more pain and effort. So why would you? Of course, you can find all kinds of things online, but the most powerful transformations still happen when you physically immerse yourself in high frequencies, like here at my location in my presence.

3. I let others/my family down when I choose myself.
What’s best for you is also best for everyone around you. Sometimes you need a different perspective to see that. You don’t have to rigorously give up and leave everything behind to start living in accordance with your true self. As they say on the plane: put on your own oxygen mask before helping someone else!

4. I don’t have the money (to spare).
How much is more peace, more self-confidence, and an aligned life worth to you? If you feel that my offer resonates with you and is exactly what you need, you can trust that there will be a solution in terms of finances. For my part, I offer you (i) more than monetary value, (ii) the option to pay in installments, and (iii) the option of other forms of exchange, if you are serious about your interest in my offer but your financial resources are really insufficient.

5. I don’t have time for it right now.
If you choose yourself, you make a choice anyway to invest time in yourself. Many people experience after a retreat that the energy that was stuck starts to flow, and it is like they jump onto an express train. This always gives you more time in return, because you live more and more aligned. For the practical planning, we always look together at the most suitable dates and times, so that we also take your family situation into account, for example.
