Sacred Forest

From € 420 / day

Natural stillness

The estate’s most beautiful spot is deep in the woods. On this field you will find a large fire circle and our two sweat lodges. In this magical place, slowing down and stillness is tangible. Here you can sink into a ceremonial bubble undisturbed. Ideal for small groups who want to retreat into nature.

Sweat Lodge

The sweat lodge is also in this favorite spot in the woods at the back of the estate. We can provide the blankets, wood and guidance if needed. This place is really in the middle of nature; there are no amenities here. We provide jerry cans of water.

Featured workshops

There is plenty to see and experience on the estate and we can organize various activities or workshops. See some examples below.

Food Forest and Kitchen Garden

52 hectares of nature that is a lot of work to maintain, so how nice is it to leave the estate more beautiful than you found it? During this activity you help on the estate. We go into the food forest to prune and harvest and we will chop wood to prepare for winter.

Lebanese Mezze Workshop

Our house chef Garo is half Armenian / half Italian and grew up in Lebanon. Inspired by all these cultures, Garo has developed its own cooking style. He prefers to make Mezze style dinners with different dishes on the table that everyone can share. During this workshop we will get started with the preparation of Mezze snacks that can be tasted by everyone during the closing drink.

Wild Picking

Out and about with our very own modern day hunter and gatherer from the estate; Ellen Mookhoek. During the walk you will discover how much delicious food grows all around you and how easy it is to supplement your meal with wild plants.

Get a taste of nature!

We cook with love for nature and as much as possible with our own produce from the food forest, vegetable garden and herb garden. Our chefs conjure up the most delicious (vegetarian) dishes that stimulate your senses.

stargazing before bedtime

You can also stay overnight at Yūgen Forest during the summer season. The carefully decorated glamping tents let you experience the peace and benevolence of nature. Immerse yourself, relax, get a good rest and feel reborn. Only bookable for (business) groups of 10 or more.
