Entering the silence and making space for yourself and what is moving within you. A five-day Stilteretraite offers you a warm and safe bed for this adventure.

De stilte in

The beautiful, hushed building of Monastery Westerhûs, the rhythm of daily celebrations and the meadowland all around form the welcoming home of the retreat. After the introduction and introduction on Monday evening, we enter the silence. In the silence you have a lot of time and space for yourself. In it you seek your own way, in the midst of others. This is a beautiful and intensive process. In addition, we meet as a group every day and receive suggestions for becoming more and more at home in the silence. Every day there is also an opportunity for a personal conversation with your facilitator. On Friday morning we break the silence and close together.
