Welcome to Yūgen Forest. A beautiful nature reserve where you can get to the core, to yourself, and to each other. We work together with the landscape and want to immerse you in everything Yūgen Forest has to offer: unique locations for your event, retreat, or wedding, the peace of lush greenery, sincere attention, and our honest food.
Whether you come to meet, connect, celebrate, or find stillness, we have the perfect location for you. Where silence speaks, fire connects, and nature creates space for what truly matters.
From regenerative off-sites and team days in nature to strategic sessions and business dinners, or all of those combined into one event. For one day, two days, or however long you need.
For transformative experiences: from retreats focused on nature contact or leadership to truffle, yoga, meditation, breathwork, silence, or awareness retreats.
Special moments with the people you hold dear deserve special attention: a wedding, a special birthday, an anniversary, a significant milestone, a family day, or a farewell.
Yūgen Forest has four locations. Each one is unique and special. Perfectly adaptable to your program.
An architectural jewel on the edge of the forest. This regenerative location breathes peace, character, and craftsmanship.
Our 19th-century grape greenhouse: a living monument of craft and regeneration. An oasis of light, greenery, and peace inside.
A ceremonial location. Here, you immediately experience peace and connection. Exactly what you are looking for when you want to disconnect from the everyday.
Our outdoor location in the heart of the forest. In the fresh air, with all the benefits of nature and the certainty of comfort.
A magnificent nature estate with a beautiful mission to bring nature and people closer together again. Profits flow back into biodiversity, educational projects, and planting that strengthens the soil. The location always feels intimate, even for larger groups.

Private stay
A beautiful and, for now, hidden gem in the Netherlands. I have organized events here several times, and both my guests and I are surprised every time by the beauty of the place. The team's hospitality is refreshing.

Yūgen is a Japanese concept that describes a subtle and elusive beauty. Pure serene splendor that is felt more than seen, evoking an emotion of deep wonder and mystery.
