Thursday 12 March 2026 from 17:00 until Sunday 15 March 2026 around 15:00
Spring is the season of new beginnings.
Just as nature renews itself, we invite you to make space within, release the old, and allow your own blossoming to unfold.
Join us for three days of movement, stories, play, stillness, and community. Guided by experienced leaders from the Netherlands and Germany, you can rediscover or deepen your sense of playfulness in a warm and supportive atmosphere.
We work with InterPlay, a playful practice that uses movement, voice, and storytelling to access our inner wisdom. Simple and accessible forms create creativity, presence, joy and surprising clarity without pressure or the need to “do it right.”
Come as you are.
Together with participants from the Netherlands, Germany, and other European countries, we shape a weekend full of creativity and meaningful connection.
The main language is English, with support in Dutch and German, and additional languages when needed.
Cost: The costs will be € 450 per person. Or according to self-assessment: € 400 to € 550.
Registration/Information: information and registration: contact with Bart via: durandbart@gmail.com
