“The way out is in”
– Thich Nhat Hahn
Our one-week guided retreats (maximum 12 guests), are rooted in:
SANCTUARY
Switching from doing to being feels counter-intuitive for many of us. At N O U S, we consider it a brave, radical act and a vital step towards liberation.
A N O U S retreat means stepping into a sanctuary, where you get the time and space to slow down and to be, in stillness and in nature, away from external distractions. We invite our guests to switch off all devices upon arrival.
CO-CREATION
The circle is as strong as the pure intention of who sits in it. We believe in the power of group energy and intentionality. When we leave behind agendas and role performances, and we step into a place of openness and authenticity, that’s when the magic happens.
HEAD-HEART-BODY-EARTH
The mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master, is how the saying goes.
We offer a blend of individual and collective practices – to create space for new perspectives and embodied knowledge to inform our change work.
Practices accompany a different theme every day (interconnectedness, power, inner wisdom, abundance) and include: sharing circles, ritual, yoga, walks, meditation, practices in nature, deep relaxation, talks, fire circles, journaling, 24H restorative silence, land art, poetry, dance, 1-on-1 support, creative practices, celebration, somatics, restorative massage,…
COMMUNITY
A N O U S residential retreat is to step over a threshold, to plant your feet carefully but firmly on the ground and to start walking, accompanied by others.
Diving into the inner dimension of collective transformation is not a one-week quick intervention or an individual practice. It can only be done through a collective and shared journey, which continues in community, beyond the retreat.

The sound of the bell
pulls me inwards
She is me and I am her
I am here, she sings
I am made of minerals and moss,
earth and stardust,
just like you
Let go and let me carry you
Sink down, down, down
Through a blaze of light
Through a dark lake
I am always here
This well is always full
Just follow the bell
and come here
Come home
to yourself
