Relationship Weekend Arte dell' Anima

After 27 years, you know so slowly what you meanto each other. We both had a process behind us in which personal growth, and how we relate to each other, played an important role. The expectation with which we started this session was therefore modest. Both of us wanted more insight into our basic patterns and how they play through in our relationship ...

The surprise was great when this expectation was immediately exceeded on the first day. Amazing how Ewoud and Marian work together and the precision which they together explained the bare of our basic patterns. Our most primary patterns were literally placed in space surrounded with love and respect. A safe place where everything could and should be there. No need to play the stage or to keep up appearances.

The structure was clear: Exploring the patterns, elaborating the basic pattern and providing tools to continue with this. With this the whole was nicely finished after the third day.

And then of course there was the wonderful accomodation where it all took place. The farm is an oasis of tranquility situated in a beautiful landscape. In the front house we had a wealth of space for ourselves. Comfort topped with nostalgia.

The excellent culinary art of Ewoud, the hospitality, personal and loving attention of both of them made the whole weekend into a warm bath in which we could let go of old pains.

It will take some time to really let everetthing fall into place, but it already feels like we could step into the elevator. With Ewoud and Marian we have been raised one or perhaps a few floors higher.

Marian, Ewoud again thank you very much.

Personal Retreat Sander

A Personal Retreat at Arte dell 'Anima was a unique and healing experience for me. This is largely due to the extensive knowledge, experience and specific approach of Marian and Ewoud, who are "pocked and jagged" specialists in their field.

However, the deciding factor for me was the pleasant presence of themselves. Marian and Ewoud have elevated life to art and are able to play an important role in a process in which the experience of connection is central, in an involved, natural and sometimes humorous way. That is exactly what I got during my stay; I have actually been able to experience what it is like to "reconnect". With myself, but also with others and actually with everything around me.

For me it meant the start of a process of realising my need for that connection. I already noticed that this means that I am increasingly able to choose a lifestyle that suits me and where I can concentrate better on the here and now. And not unimportantly, in which I have more peace with the course of my life and the choices I make in it. Without immediately panicking and also increasingly without falling into depressive compulsions.

I can use the energy that I save with that to enjoy my life more and more. A life in which I know, feel and experience what suits me and in which I am connected again with myself and others.

Review Retreat Arte dell' Anima

Staying at Arte dell' Anima was a unique and healing experience for me. This is largely due to the extensive knowledge, experience and specific approach of Marian and Ewoud, who are 'seasoned' specialists in their field.

What was decisive for me, however, was the pleasant presence of them themselves. Marian and Ewoud have elevated life to an art and are able to play an important role in a process in which experiencing connection, in particular, is central, in an involved, natural and sometimes humourous way. This is exactly what I experienced during my stay; I actually experienced what it is like to reconnect. With myself, but also with others and actually with everything around me.

For me, it marked the start of a process of becoming aware of my need for that connection. I already notice that I am increasingly able to choose a lifestyle that suits me and in which I can focus better on the here and now. And importantly, in which I am more at peace with the course of my life and the choices I make in it. Without immediately panicking and also increasingly without falling into depressive compulsive thoughts.

The energy I save in this way I can increasingly use to enjoy my life more. A life in which I know, feel and experience what suits me and in which I reconnect with myself and others.

Review Retreat Janine

My stay with Ewoud and Marian helped me find a new path. The voice-dialogue therapy has given me insight into the way my past has shaped me and especially in which way I was actually denying myself my own happiness. The professional and extremely committed way of working has made me feel that I can always come to them and that they are very committed to you, even after the stay. After years of regular therapy and all kinds of alternative therapy, my problems disappeared in five days. I no longer have any physical symptoms and am no longer held captive by my own thoughts. I still feel lighter and happier two months after the stay and no longer consumed by my self-imposed sense of 'should' and will'. The delicious food and relaxed atmosphere feel more like a holiday than a therapy weekend and have helped me tremendously to start a new path with a fresh start, especially with more confidence towards the future.
