Where Pain Becomes a Gift with Modita

The weekend pairs guided group work with room to rest, and asks for a personal conversation before anyone commits to joining.

At Vlierhof, near the Dutch and German border, Modita van Zummeren invites a small group to explore difficult feelings through movement, meditation and shared reflection. Family constellations offer a way to explore relationships and patterns through guided group work; Transformation through Dance brings attention to what you notice and express through your body. The weekend makes room for both being with others and stepping back for some quiet.

Arrive on Friday from 17:00 for settling in, dinner, introductions and a gentle first session. Saturday combines active Osho meditations, family constellations and dance, with breaks to rest and let the experiences settle. Sunday continues these practices and gives time to reflect on what you want to take into everyday life. The group closes together at 17:00. The programme builds across the weekend, so attendance from beginning to end is required. No dance experience or particular level of fitness is needed; movements can be adapted to your limits.

Before your booking can be confirmed, Modita holds an introductory conversation of about one hour, in person in Eindhoven or on Zoom. Participation follows this conversation and mutual agreement. Tell her beforehand about relevant physical or psychological conditions, medication or other circumstances, and discuss any adaptations you need. You remain responsible for your wellbeing and boundaries. Two nights, bed linen, towels, breakfast, lunch, dinner, water, tea and coffee are included. The shared twin option is USD 476.41 per person; a private room for one is USD 522.48. Deposits are part of these totals, not the full price. The booking deadline is 17 December; arrange the screening in time. Bring comfortable movement clothes, warm layers, outdoor shoes and a valid passport or national ID. Airport transfers are neither included nor arranged. The nearest airport is Weeze; onward travel is by taxi or public transport. The organiser's terms are supplied before the retreat.
