Regain your autonomy

We're influenced by the beliefs we get from our parents, surroundings, friends, teachers, and religions. But is that the whole truth? Society often tells us how to behave, and we usually go along without asking why. Making a different choice can be scary, because we worry about what others might think if we step outside the usual way of doing things. 

The reality is, you have the power to choose a different path. It starts with taking the first step: listening to your own inner voice. That's where we come to help. Once you begin to figure out what truly fits you and what doesn't, you can live a life that's true to yourself, free from limiting beliefs. 

Marjolein & Melissa are experienced coaches who will support you during this process back to your true and unbounded self. We've been through this change ourselves, and now we're here for anyone ready to explore themselves with honesty and take charge of their lives. 

The freedom you are looking for is the freedom from your own limiting beliefs.

This is what we do

In a world full of (external) noise it can be challenging to listen to your own inner voice. That's why we welcome you in our beautiful forest, where you are surrounded by silence and nature. Stepping outside your known environment is essential for transitioning back to your true and unbound self. 

In our coaching and retreats, we emphasise the following stages:

  • Listening - In moments of silence, attentively listening to your inner voice.
  • Noticing - Observing patterns, discerning when and how they occur.
  • Feeling - Identifying your emotions and the sensations that arise.
  • Expressing - Developing the ability to articulate your emotions, fears, and obstacles.
  • Transforming - Once you can recognise, feel, and acknowledge your own limiting beliefs, you can initiate significant changes in your everyday life.


Upcoming events

We frequently organize events and can't wait to welcome you in our HOME. You will be treated as an equal, and we ask for the same level of respect in return. 

Have a look at the listed events below and reach out. Do you have another request? Let us know! Some events are upon request and set up for you personally (such as a vision quest).

"Come to the trees to forget and to remember. To forget the straightjackets of manufactured time and cubicles. To remember something much older than the Gregorian calendar and the 40+ workweek. Come to the trees: to touch and be touched by something more primary, more whole." - Gavin van Hoorn

What Visitors Say About Us

Choosing the right guidance during a journey of self-discovery is essential. Here you can read what others say about our support which helps you understand our approach. In case there are any questions; reach out. 

"I did a retreat with Marjolein. As a director, but also privately, I had been anchored in my thoughts and actions for years.She offered me an individual program. It was the beautiful conversations, through Stoic philosophy, the silences, the cooperation in the food forest and the twenty-four hours in seclusion that led to very beautiful and valuable insights.

Marjolein has the skill to arrive at new insights in a relaxed but certainly challenging way, without convincing what is right or wrong. It was the "power of the mountain" and the "compass" of Marjolein that together achieved the effect that she managed to inspire me with.

This investment was very valuable . I look back on a fantastic week with this intriguing, quirky and smart coach."

"I came to the forest de dragon for letting myself be embraced by the trees and the waters. Often when I wanna dive deep within to adres these automated re actions for really making a change. My tree friends are to show me and embrace me were I still hold on to outdated experiences from the painful past. Also the beautiful water in this little valley is of a cristalline quality that nourished my blood back into more healthy ness with her lovely murmures and songs.

Marjolein co created a beautiful simple place with all her nature friends, visible and invisible to unwire from daily life and re wire our cristalline frequencies to go direct with source consciousness. Big thank you to all that contributed. And I surely hope to re turn and play more together."

“My inner fire had been quite extinguished by several events over the past few years. I was looking for the place to heal. A post: "Stay in the Dragon Forest". This immediately appealed to me and I sent a message to Marjolaine. Three days later I arrived in the Dragon Forest. It was like coming home.”

"I would like to share with many people about this place. I would prefer to keep it to myself .. together with the thoughts and feelings I have experienced here.

Yet I don't.

I want people to be able to come and experience for themselves. How simple a life of respect can be. Experience how important slowing down is. The day let itself be pushed away before my eyes. The sun crept out beautifully here, the bees apparently played tag. That wonder is what everyone should be able and want to experience more.

Thanks Marjolein and Mike. See you, a smile, a wink and a pat on the back,

Joram (sitting on a chair, amazed by the valley)"
