Pilgrimages in the forest of France
If there's one certainty in life, it's that everything constantly changes. Whether it's in your job, relationships, or surroundings, you can't control external events. Therefore, it's crucial to rely on yourself and stay grounded. When you're centered within, you're much better equipped to navigate the world around you.
Unfortunately, in our society, we're often coddled and lose sight of our ability to take full responsibility for our lives. When unexpected challenges arise, we may feel overwhelmed or stressed. This is what we aim to address.
During our 3-day pilgrimages, we completely immerse you in a new environment, challenging your adaptability. By facing and overcoming the challenges of the journey, you will come to realize that you are capable of far more than you ever imagined.
Our promise: During our 3-day pilgrimages we will enhance your resilience and emotional fortitude, empowering you to better manage stress and inevitable changes in your daily life while having a lot of fun!
Resilience as key for a happy life
The ability to adjust to certain situations that appear in your life is essential for many reasons. Our pilgrimages will help you:
- Be better capable of dealing with stress and feel less overwhelmed.
- Adopt a positive mindset; you look at challenges as learning moments instead of obstacles you can't overcome.
- Improve communication in your relationships, as higher resilience leads to flexibility and understanding.
- Develop determination and trust in yourself and your capabilities.
- Find it easier to deal with traumas and difficult life problems.
Overall, people with a high level of resilience are more positive-minded about themselves, others, and the situations they encounter, which ultimately leads to a happier life.

"Come to the trees to forget and to remember. To forget the straightjackets of manufactured time and cubicles. To remember something much older than the Gregorian calendar and the 40+ workweek. Come to the trees: to touch and be touched by something more primary, more whole." - Gavin van Hoorn

"I did a retreat with Marjolein. As a director, but also privately, I had been anchored in my thoughts and actions for years.She offered me an individual program. It was the beautiful conversations, through Stoic philosophy, the silences, the cooperation in the food forest and the twenty-four hours in seclusion that led to very beautiful and valuable insights.
Marjolein has the skill to arrive at new insights in a relaxed but certainly challenging way, without convincing what is right or wrong. It was the "power of the mountain" and the "compass" of Marjolein that together achieved the effect that she managed to inspire me with.
This investment was very valuable . I look back on a fantastic week with this intriguing, quirky and smart coach."
"I came to the forest de dragon for letting myself be embraced by the trees and the waters. Often when I wanna dive deep within to adres these automated re actions for really making a change. My tree friends are to show me and embrace me were I still hold on to outdated experiences from the painful past. Also the beautiful water in this little valley is of a cristalline quality that nourished my blood back into more healthy ness with her lovely murmures and songs.
Marjolein co created a beautiful simple place with all her nature friends, visible and invisible to unwire from daily life and re wire our cristalline frequencies to go direct with source consciousness. Big thank you to all that contributed. And I surely hope to re turn and play more together."
"I would like to share with many people about this place. I would prefer to keep it to myself .. together with the thoughts and feelings I have experienced here.
Yet I don't.
I want people to be able to come and experience for themselves. How simple a life of respect can be. Experience how important slowing down is. The day let itself be pushed away before my eyes. The sun crept out beautifully here, the bees apparently played tag. That wonder is what everyone should be able and want to experience more.
Thanks Marjolein and Mike. See you, a smile, a wink and a pat on the back,
Joram (sitting on a chair, amazed by the valley)"
