I am so grateful for this experience! Rob and Inward Bound team are phenomenal. As a solo female traveler and new to Inwardbound I felt so safe, so held, and taken care of. I had such a profound experience of healing and receiving. The venue was out of this world! If you're on the fence, I would say trust and do it! It is SO worth it! One of My favorite parts is the people the team and community and connections made and lots of laughter.
Words can’t describe this experience. Truly life-changing! From the very first meeting in Amsterdam to the farewell after the retreat - it felt surprisingly deeply familiar. The entire team created an incredibly warm, nurturing and respectful space allowing me to fully surrender and open myself to the experience. Although I was nervous at first about attending the retreat with complete strangers and sharing such a personal journey, I have to say that this was exactly what made the experience so special. Each and every person influenced my journey in their own unique and beautiful way, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. I was especially grateful to experience two ceremonies, as this allowed me to go deeper into my journey. Also, the food at the retreat was incredible. I have eaten at vegan restaurants that didn’t serve food nearly as delicious. I enjoyed every single meal, without exception. I am so grateful for this magical experience and often think back to it, the people and what it thought me about myself. I couldn’t recommend it more.
What a great group of facilitators! Rob and his staff are top notch! I highly recommend this retreat and I’m already considering my next one in the Netherlands. Thank you for a lasting impact!
This is a truly 5 star experience from start to finish. It starts with the pre-retreat organizational steps which were well organized and communicated so felt well prepared and informed going in. The retreat itself was amazing in a beautiful place which I didn't want to leave at the end. So much care, love, compassion and understanding from the facilitators Rob, Darragh and Tiziana🙏. The retreat was hugely beneficial. Highly recommended to everyone. Thank you, Inwardbound team❤️
Incredible experience. I felt safe and in very good hands. The highly skilled and experienced facilitators create an exceptionally loving and compassionate environment to support your journey. Cannot recommend highly enough.
