The invisible pain within

---

• Do you ever find yourself so afraid of rejection that you preemptively withdraw from connection, perhaps feeling even more isolated in a new environment?
• Have you developed patterns of dependence, perhaps unconsciously, as a way to prevent abandonment when your usual support system feels far away?
• Does the memory of past humiliation drive you to self-sabotage, a preemptive strike against further hurt, making it harder to build authentic connections in a new culture?
• Does the fear of betrayal lead you to exert excessive control in your relationships and circumstances, making it challenging to trust new people in an unfamiliar place?
• Have you noticed a growing rigidity in your approach to life, perhaps as a shield against future injustice, making it difficult to adapt and embrace the fluidity of a new life abroad?

"Meditation is not to escape from society, but to come back to ourselves and see what is going on. Once there is seeing, there must be acting. With mindfulness, we know what to do and what not to do to help."

Feedback from people that have worked with me

My Love Affair with Nature's Wisdom​

Some of my most vivid memories are written in tree bark and ocean salt - those annual week-long nature retreats of my teens and twenties that became my soul's compass. 
When I traded familiar landscapes for Dutch horizons nature became my sanctuary - steady companions that mirrored my inner world when everything else felt foreign. 
A decade later, I found myself guiding others in walking meditation in nature. Now, I've woven these threads of experience into this retreat - creating a space where nature's ancient wisdom meets modern longing, and where your own inner journey can unfold at its perfect pace.

I know committing to a retreat is a big decision—especially when you’re craving change but aren’t sure where to start.
​
How about we meet on a 20-minute exploratory call? We’ll talk about:

• Where you’re feeling stuck or longing for shift;
• How this retreat could meet those needs;
• Any questions you have (about the location, schedule, or my approach).

​
No pressure, just clarity. If we both feel it’s a fit afterward, wonderful. If not, I’m happy to point you toward other resources.

Warm regards
​Lara
