Why facilitators choose Yūgen Forest
Yūgen Forest is not a standard retreat location: it is a place with soul, born on new earth, shaped by seasons and people. Centrally located in the Netherlands (in Flevoland), you rent a retreat venue that moves with your intention. From the Giant Tipi to the tower room of Slot Roggebot, from flower fields to fire pits.
Your participants will stay overnight in comfortable glamping tents or wooden cabins on a unique estate. Our regenerative cuisine cooks with what the land gives: regenerative, seasonal and mindful.
As a steward-owned place, we invest every euro back into nature restoration. Anyone who hosts a retreat here contributes directly to biodiversity and future-proof living.
