Our retreats take place in inspiring locations surrounded by nature, chosen to create space for rest, reflection and meaningful connection.
The aim is simple: create enough distance from daily routines to slow down, recover and return with more energy and clarity.
Our activities are carefully selected to support physical and mental recovery, encourage personal growth and create meaningful experiences. Each session is organised and led by experienced professionals who provide expert guidance in a safe, supportive and relaxed environment.
Real experiences from people who joined us to slow down, reset and reconnect.
“The whole experience exceeded my expectations. The combination of breathwork and the ice bath was intense, energising and incredibly well guided. Mike has a special presence about him. His guidance felt professional and reassuring, but also relaxed and entertaining, which made it much easier to fully commit to the experience. I left feeling stronger, clearer and genuinely inspired.”
“The location just outside Den Bosch is absolutely beautiful. Surrounded by green countryside, birdsong and a real sense of tranquillity, it was the perfect place to disconnect from everyday life. The facilities were fantastic and everything felt comfortable and thoughtfully prepared. The retreat itself was amazing. I left having learned more about myself, feeling recharged, powerful and ready to take that energy back into everyday life.”
“An amazing location, amazing hosts and an experience I won’t forget. The sound healing session was something else. The combination of live music, singing, sound, vibration and stillness created a level of relaxation I had never experienced before. At some point I completely lost track of time and felt as though my whole body had switched off from the outside world. It was deeply calming, emotional in the best way, and one of the highlights of the retreat.”
Japandi Retreats is not tied to one property. Each location is chosen for its atmosphere, access to nature and ability to give the group enough distance from everyday routines.
Our first retreats take place at Japandi Lounge in the countryside near Den Bosch, with additional retreats planned in locations including Northumberland in the UK.
The Intensive Recovery Retreat is a small-group experience designed to help you step away from everyday routines, screens and constant stimulation, creating space for physical and mental recovery.
The programme can include breathwork, cold exposure, sound healing, movement, wellness, silence, shared meals and journaling. A fire ceremony offers a symbolic moment to let go of what you no longer want to carry with you, while leaving plenty of time simply to slow down and reconnect.
A silent retreat gives you the rare opportunity to step away from the noise, demands and constant stimulation of everyday life. By removing familiar distractions, you create space to slow down, reflect and become more aware of your thoughts, emotions and habits. The silence allows for deeper meditation, greater mental clarity and a chance to break away from automatic patterns. It is time to reconnect with yourself, process what has been occupying your mind and return to everyday life with a clearer sense of what matters.
A silent retreat is an extended period in which participants refrain from everyday conversation and spend much of their time in silence. This creates a calm environment for meditation, reflection and guided activities without the usual social distractions. Our planned silent retreat is a five-day experience. Full programme details will be published when dates are confirmed.
No previous experience is necessary. Sessions are intended to be guided and accessible to people joining for the first time as well as those with previous experience.
No. None of our activities are compulsory. While we encourage participants to take part, there is always space to step back, rest and listen to what feels right for you.
