I came with the question: should I stay in my relationship or not? What I discovered is that I want to choose myself—my happiness—and no longer hide or shrink for someone else. That means feeling free in my own body again.

I’m not someone who easily finds the right words, but I speak from the heart when I say: this was a beautiful week on Ibiza. Meaningful connections, simple joys like watching the sunrise, walks in the woods, and of course the amazing meals prepared by Marianne. And last but not least: Jacqueline—you’re a remarkable woman with your heart in the right place. Thank you! x

Man, 57 years old

When I arrived at the retreat in July, I was mentally overloaded, physically aching, and emotionally closed off. My first reaction was resistance—being with a group of women triggered old patterns. But I let go. What I experienced was energy—love—through simply being and letting myself be supported.

Man, 61 years old

I joined this retreat to reflect on my personal life. I couldn’t make a decision with full conviction—I just couldn’t reach the emotion underneath. What I discovered is that I generally struggle to access my emotions at all. My rational mind always took over, no matter how hard I tried to push it aside.

Dearest Jacqueline, Marianne & Joost, This retreat was truly magical. You each bring something unique, and together it’s the perfect combination. I’m so glad you gently encouraged me to step into things I thought I couldn’t do. Now I’m proud to say I did it all. Despite age differences, the group was close and full of love. I recommend this retreat to anyone. It’s a week I’ll never forget, and a place I hope to return to. Much love.

Woman, 31 years old

I joined the retreat because I lacked self-confidence, had no boundaries, and couldn’t say no. What I discovered is how to reclaim my trust—in myself and in others—and how to feel strong again. I now feel ready to start fresh, let go of past mistakes, and make better choices that lead to a happier life.

Woman, 35 years old

I hadn’t felt like myself for a while and sensed I needed time for me—before tipping into depression. What I discovered is that I don’t need to seek fulfillment outside myself. The light and peace I longed for are within me, ready to shine whenever I choose.

Woman, 42 years old

I had a tough couple of years—lots of internal struggles. This retreat gave me the chance to explore yoga and meditation for the first time, and I loved it. Starting each day with movement and breath, eating natural and nourishing meals, and taking a break from coffee and wine—it all made me feel stronger.
