About this Retreat
Josje is a versatile musician with many years of experience facilitating plant medicine ceremonies, ceremonial concerts and sound healing sessions.
With her background as a therapist and mindfulness trainer, combined with her intuitive sensitivity as a musician, she creates a safe and supportive space in which you are invited to slow down, feel and become fully present.
Through her voice, music and the deeply resonant sounds of her sound healing instruments, she invites you to move out of your head and reconnect with your body and heart. The vibrations and sounds can support you in relaxing, opening up and connecting more deeply with what is alive within you.
Josje intuitively follows what arises in the moment and adapts her guidance to the energy of the group and the ceremony. In this way, she creates a space where there is nothing you need to do or achieve, but where you can simply be, feel and receive.
Musician | Movement & Recovery Therapist
Mike combines his passion for music with expertise in breathwork, cold training, movement and recovery therapy. He leads workshops and expeditions in extraordinary locations, helping people relax, expand their limits and reconnect with themselves.
His work has included collaboration with Wim Hof and breath expert James Nestor, alongside extensive experience in functional breathing, cold exposure, movement, recovery therapy and live music.
Details of this retreat
The Intensive Recovery Retreat is a 3-night, 4-day small-group experience designed to help you step away from screens, routines and constant stimulation and create space to reset physically and mentally.
Over the course of the retreat, you will take part in a carefully balanced programme of breathwork, cold exposure, movement, meditation, sound healing, recovery practices, time in nature and shared meals. Active challenges are combined with periods of rest and reflection, giving your body and mind time to settle and process the experience.
There is no focus on performance or competition. You are encouraged to challenge yourself where it feels useful, while always working at your own level.
The retreat is guided by experienced professionals who create a supportive and relaxed environment throughout the weekend. You will also have time to enjoy the surroundings, connect with the group and make use of the wellness facilities at Japandi Lounge.
The aim is not simply to give you a break from everyday life, but to introduce practical techniques and experiences that you can take home with you and continue using afterwards.
Duration: 3 nights / 4 days
Group size: Maximum 10 participants
Location: Japandi Lounge, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands
Experience required: None

Wellness facilities include a private sauna, wood-fired hot tub, ice baths and dedicated spaces for yoga, breathwork, meditation and sound healing.
