Deep Rest. Sound Healing. Inner Strength
18–20 December 2026
De Schouw Retreat & Wellness Centre
Noordgouwe, Zeeland, the Netherlands
Sometimes life does not ask us to work harder or think more, but to slow down and listen to what the body is telling us.
During this all-inclusive weekend retreat, somatic yoga, intuitive movement, restorative yoga, yoga nidra and sound healing guide you on a journey from movement into stillness—and from stillness towards renewed strength, vitality and inner direction.
Somatic yoga invites you to experience movement from within. Rather than focusing on achieving a posture, you learn to recognise your body’s subtle signals, explore tension and rediscover your natural freedom of movement.
Through the Soma Release Technique, somatic yoga, yoga therapy, breath, sound and intuitive movement come together. The guidance is trauma-sensitive: you remain in control of your own body and are always invited to follow your own pace, needs and boundaries.
A journey through the weekend
On Friday evening, we take time to arrive, connect and create a safe and trusting foundation. Gentle somatic yoga and breath-regulation practices help you land in your body.
On Saturday, we deepen the experience through the Soma Release Technique, combining guided and intuitive movement with yoga therapy practices. After activating the body’s energy, we move into restorative yoga, sound and reflection, allowing your experience to transform in stillness.
On Sunday, the movement becomes freer, more powerful and more expressive, creating space to experience your strength, life force and joy of movement. Yoga nidra and sound healing then guide you back into deep rest. From what you have felt and discovered, you formulate a personal intention that feels true to you.
