Location for yoga weekend and yoga retreat in nature at retreat center in the Netherlands The Land of Now

Retreat center for
yogaweekend and yoga retreat

A welcome place where yoga is alive, in the space and silence of the north of the Netherlands.

As supervisors of retreats, we know better than anyone how important and supportive a suitable place can be for a yoga weekend or yoga retreat.
In a retreat everything revolves around the right attention, and as a supervisor to be able to offer a safe space and atmosphere for relaxation, depth and development.

This place is all about that attention, and it is our passion to ensure that you as a organiser do as little as possible. That, from the moment you get out of the parking lot, the retreat already starts, everything is arranged for you and you can fully immerse yourself in Yoga. So that your retreat naturally breathes yoga.

Attention and love
for the big things
and the small things

Space for the essence

The location exclusively at the disposal of you and your group

During your stay, The Land of Now will be your home for a few days and we provide an inspiring experience, together with our enthusiastic team. If you organize and supervise a yoga retreat or yoga weekend here, no other groups will be present during your stay.

On the ground floor of the retreat center there is a large attractive yoga room with bamboo floor, professional sound system and the room is equipped with yoga and meditation materials. The salon offers plenty of space to retreat with a book, or to meet others, sitting by the wood-burning stove. The conservatory is a fine intimate space overlooking the pond and can be used for individual conversations or to dream away in the sun.

The meals are enjoyed in our restaurant which has a direct connection to the catering kitchen, where you are welcome if you want to know which herbs we have used for the warming soup you have just eaten, if you want to know the chef his / her culinary secrets, or just need a good conversation.

‘Now yoga begins.’

In balance with Ayurveda

Ayurveda, the sister science of Yoga, takes into account the seasons and the time of day. The digestibility and that food should be tasty as well as healthy. A feast for the senses, nourishing for body and soul.

You can go to The Land of Now for all your questions about Ayurveda therapy, lifestyle and nutrition.

Our kitchen also offers you inspiration. Our meals offer an inspiring and tasteful experience for all your senses. Organic and sustainable, Ayurvedic principles and plant-based whole foods.

Yoga retreat location in nature

Our retreat center is located in the middle of the peace and vastness of the authentic Groningen landscape near the city of Groningen. Here you can still hear the grass grow and contemplate beautiful starry skies.

In our park-like landscaped garden you can wander, relax or dive into the outdoor sauna. Here on ‘het Veen’, as the Veenweg residents put it, you regularly see special scenes. Turkeys on a trip, a hare that comes to neighborhoods or a deer that passes by in the early morning. From the location you can walk with vast horizons and the wind in your hair. A short distance away is the beautiful Schildmeer and the Roegwoldt.

Respect for nature is self-evident for us and we allow ourselves to be inspired by new possibilities every time.
