Details of this retreat
If you are seeking a deep reset - physically, mentally, and emotionally - this New Moon Weekend Retreat in the Belgian Ardennes is for you. Here, you will step away from the stress, noise, and demands of daily life and immerse yourself in gentle and calming well-being practices of yoga, meditation, sound healing, and nature connection.
Schedule
The retreat activities (yoga, hikes and experiences) are inspired by the energy of the 5 elements: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, Wood. Every day starts with setting an intention followed by an energetic Vinyasa-style yoga class. After that, a healthy breakfast awaits you to nourish your body. Then we embark on a unique adventure or a hike, taking with us a delicious picnic lunch. Coming back to the accommodation, you will have time for some relaxation and me-time: chilling out on the terraces and open areas, enjoying the natural swimming pool. After all this excitement, we will finish the day with restorative yoga practice before a beautiful and healthy 3-course dinner.
