Silence & breathing day in the middle of nature

In this one-day deepening experience, we will take you into the world of stillness, breathwork and embodied presence. A powerful invitation to come to a complete stillness for a moment, detached from the noise of daily life, and reconnect with what really matters.

Silence is not an absence of sound, but a space where you can hear what really wants to be heard. Through breathing, meditation and conscious movement there is a shift from head to heart, from thinking to being.

During this day in the nature of Yugen Forest, you will experience how silence is not empty, but rather full.
Full of life, full of truth, full of presence.

We make space for:
– Deep relaxation and mental clarity
– Connecting with your breath, body and inner stillness
– Restoring focus and inner peace
– Releasing tension, stress and noise
– Gentle but deep transformation, without words

We understand that silence can be exciting precisely because it makes everything visible. Therefore, we guide the day carefully and mindfully, creating safety to sink and be. No floating, but a practical experience of coming home to yourself. We combine clear explanations with breath work, mindfulness, nature and reflection. Thus silence becomes not only tangible, but also applicable in your daily life.

About us
This day is facilitated by us, Eric van Tilburg and Sebastiaan van der Vinne. Both of us are experienced facilitators in the field of breathwork, retreats, group dynamics and consciousness development.
We work from calmness and focus, quickly creating safety and guiding people naturally to deeper layers within themselves.
