Step away from the chaos of King’s Day and immerse yourself in the serene beauty of The Land of Now, a hidden gem near Groningen. This retreat is your chance to recharge in nature, reconnect with yourself, and experience a rich variety of yoga, healing, and creative practices.

Each day begins in The Land of Now’s spacious yoga room, designed with a bamboo floor and a professional sound system, creating the perfect space for Arben’s signature energizing Vinyasa practice. Afterward, enjoy a nourishing breakfast prepared by The Taste of Now team, led by chef Juliette Reniers. Their plant-based, organic cuisine is crafted with love, emphasizing sustainability, Ayurvedic principles, and vibrant flavors to nourish both body and soul.

You’ll have time to explore the peaceful surroundings, connect with others, or simply be. Throughout the retreat, enjoy sound healing sessions, Yin, Restorative, Breathwork and Yoga Nidra practices, as well as workshops on yoga philosophy, Ayurveda,
and asana techniques. Get creative in our pottery workshop, where you’ll craft your own unique piece to take home.

For deeper healing, experience a powerful energetic healing session with our wonderful Taylan, who brings balance and renewal on a subtle yet profound level. Or indulge in deep relaxation with an Ayurvedic massage from our talented Yeleni—both of whom you may recognize from De Nieuwe Yogaschool.

Beyond the practice space, we’ll explore the beautiful nature surrounding The Land of Now with peaceful walks, allowing you to fully unwind. Take your relaxation even further with the center’s outdoor sauna, offering the perfect way to release tension and soothe your body after a day of practice.

The Taste of Now team will continue to delight us with three delicious, plant-based meals a day, carefully curated to support your body’s natural rhythms. Their approach to food is not just about nourishment—it’s an experience of flavors,
creativity, and conscious eating. You can choose between single or double rooms, each with its own private
bathroom, ensuring a comfortable and restful stay.

The retreat begins at noon on Wednesday, April 23rd, and we will wrap up our journey together on Sunday, April 27th, at 16:00.

Join us for this unforgettable escape—a chance to retreat, recharge, and return home renewed.
