NATURE TEMPLE

An initiation centre for the people, for reflection on and reconnection with our origin and the mystery of creation. This unique experience space is specifically designed for ceremonial use. It functions as a compass and initiation centre for truth-seekers. The enchantment of the Nature Temple is the ultimate setting to explore altered states of consciousness. A visit guarantees an unforgettable experience full of inspiration.

The Nature Temple is a 140 m2 square work of art, organically built with thick trunks and curly branches, coloured glass and clay. The majestic wooden floor combined with a fire place in the centre gives the Nature Temple splendor. The 7 diameter geodesic dome-shaped vault at the roof functions as a galactic clock through which you can watch the celestial constellations at night. During the day the sunlight shines through and you can watch the crowns of the surrounding cathedral-like trees.

Library of the earth – Made from more than 40 different types of wood, mostly inlands, give the Temple an unmistakable authentic character. Each type of wood tells its own story, both physically and symbolically. From a technical point of view the Nature Temple has become a combination of various ecological building styles, with elements from an earth-ship, a hobbit house and a log cabin. We have made use of straw, clay and cord-wood construction techniques.

We love good food and it is our pleasure to serve our guests simple and delicious home-made food and drinks. Veggies and herbs come straight from our own garden whenever possible.

The centre is about 1 hour from Amsterdam. From the airport you take the direct train to Apeldoorn, and a 5 minutes train to Twello station where you are picked up with our car. The whole journey from the airport to our centre is max 1,5 hours and is easy going as the public transport in the Netherlands is well organized and easy to understand for foreigners as well. We are happy to assist you when needed. In consultation and at extra costs we can pick you up at the airport as well (private retreats only), mail us for this service.
