Inner peace is possible

When I was still working as a scientific researcher at the university, I was always running and joining the rat race. Because everyone did, and my mind thought that I should work and live the same. These stories in my head resulted in burnout complaints. If only I had had the courage to listen to my body, feel what I truly desired and acted on it…

I needed my wake-up call to start looking at life – and what matters to me – from a different perspective. That experience opened my eyes to how I could get started to develop more inner peace and confidence in myself and thus in my life.

Since 2021 I have been guiding people during retreats and coaching them to also find inner peace, clear themselves of the stories in their minds, and inspire them to lead a more balanced life.

Do you recognize this?

∴ Deep down you know there is more to life than just hard work, but it turns out to be an impossible task to let go of that control, which causes you to experience stress.

∴ It feels like you’re caught in a vicious circle, falling into the same traps over and over again, because stories in your mind keep you from exploring new paths.

∴ The lack of moments of silence and reflection makes it difficult to organize your thoughts, increasing stress and mental fatigue, and making you feel stuck in an endless rat race.

∴ The lack of time for self-care and personal interests causes you to become emotionally exhausted and lose the joy of life.

The gate to your inner journey with plant medicines. Ceremonial retreats for increasing consciousness.

I invite you

I invite you to experience that you too can learn to bring more inner peace and balance into your life. Even if you have all kinds of stories, beliefs, and thoughts in your head that say this is not possible.

Together we will work on this during your retreat. Through reflection, contemplation, self-care and energetic work you get closer to yourself, step by step. This allows you to change your perspective, recover on a physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual level and build your confidence so that you increase your own well-being. I sincerely wish you that!

Testimonials

“When I arrived at Hélène’s place, my head was full of stories and thoughts that kept haunting me. For example, I couldn’t stop following news about the war. But after only three days of retreat, I felt completely different. My head was calmer and I no longer had the urge to keep consuming informatioin” – anonymous

“I arrived tired and grumpy. But after just one evening I noticed how much more energy I had, and that the story that my hormones determine my state of mind isn’t quite true after all” – Yvette

“Before I came to Hélène’s retreat, my thinking was predominant and took up a lot of space. The attention and guidance I received from Helene allowed me to focus more on other areas of myself. I have (again) discovered that my body is a nice home and that inspiration lives in me again. Thank you Helene for this valuable experience.” – Y.

“From the moment I arrived I felt welcome and this feeling continued throughout the long weekend. The guidance was excellent and the meals were truly delicious.

“With Hélène it always feels like coming home. I received an energetic head treatment in which she guided me on a journey deep within.

My heart is more open than ever, thanks to Hélène and the home she has to offer.” – Sander
