About this Retreat
Your Guides
I am Marion van Schagen and I am a guide for people who wants to come home in theirself.
With meditation, energetic work, dance and using of sound, I offer them a space where they can discover who they really are - in stead of what they think they are.
I am a meditation teacher and has followed the whole Awakening your Light Body course (also the teachers course) and that is still my startingpoint for all the meditations I give.
My skills for energetic work have I learned from Joanne van Wijgerden from the Healing Arts.

Ego – Friend or enemy?
An inner journey toward a deeper alignment with your true Self.
Do you feel that your ego often runs away with you? That – before you know it – you are once again caught up in all kinds of stories and entrenched emotions? Do you feel stuck in all that "ego business"?
How would it be to no longer experience your ego as a force of opposition, as an enemy, but as an ally on your path of inner growth? As humans here on earth, we need the ego. It is the vehicle through which we express ourselves. The ego is smart, and it is important to keep it on your side.
During this retreat weekend, you will establish a new connection with your ego. Not to get rid of it, but to give it a higher role; it will undergo a kind of career switch, aligned with the wisdom of your true Self. In this way, the ego no longer has to be an inner adversary, but can become a loving helper, supporting your path with clarity and strength.
Expanding your awareness, you will discover who you truly are. That light! In that awareness, the ego can find peace, experiencing the trust and safety of the flow of life. Then you arrive at surrender. Emotions and thoughts can then settle.
The struggle, working on yourself, trying your best, judging and evaluating—it is all over.
Do you feel a 'Yes'? Does your heart beat faster at this? You are warmly welcome to join this deeply transformative weekend.
There are 2 places available on a sleeping room for 4.
