7 reasons to attend

Receive help to start or build your activity

The 5 days are packed with practical and soul support for starting or building your project or professional activity that allows you to do what makes you happy. If you only have a vague idea and don’t know how to make it happen, OR if you are already in action but want to make things work better, we’ve got you covered.

Connect with your spirit, purpose and inner drive

Everything starts from connecting to your true self and what makes you come alive – that delicious vibe of “being in the zone”. You will gain clarity on what you really want to do and what wants to be born through you to the world.

Support to do the scary thing

We will be working on fears, shame and doubts to liberate roadblocks for putting yourself out there. Every participant will be encouraged to take at least one scary action during the retreat while being held by the group (it could be to announce your services, post on social media, or anything else that you’ve been needing courage to do).

Know what you’ll be doing and how

We will tap into the golden practical ideas that will make your blissness concrete. Starting from your heart and soul, we ideate your professional path and/or business structure so that you have a clear idea about what you will be doing and how.
Work out your marketing and how to gain clients
We develop the clarity and plan for spreading your wings so you’ll never have to worry about marketing and attracting clients but can totally focus on doing your thing. Forget about having to spam people on social media. You’ll get to do it exactly as you like it.
Experience the power of community
We create and hold a safe and brave space that welcomes vulnerability and deep connection. Groups are rich in energy and potential, we consciously give everyone access to the possibilities hiding in weaving meaningful connections.
Making it happen together
You are not doing this on your own. We open a space for learning and working together. We help each other make progress. We are not afraid to depend on each other and ask for help.

Blissness Creation workshops

The 5 days are packed with boost and accompaniment to take the steps that will get your soul into action.
Led by Hanna, author of the Big Blissness book, the workshops are very hands-on to make a real practical impact for your project:

  • Learning combined with circles and masterminds
  • Powerful pairwork
  • Brainstorming work in groups of 3-4
  • Input from Hanna and the group for your specific situation
  • Feedback, Q&As, encouragement… we’ll be there for you.

Morning and evening closing sessions

In the morning and evening plenary sessions we take the time to build community and spend time as a group. Led by Leen, we create a space and introduce daily rituals to share what is alive in ourselves and the group, and work with what is. It is a time for deep work, reflection, growing awareness and tapping into the full potential of the energy we nurture together.

Community time

Space for participants to share their unique talents and skills, hot chocolate and cosy chats, gathering around a fire, tarot card reading, astrology, ping pong, feeding the donkeys, going for a walk or run, an access bars session… anything that the group wants to do that feels right.

The retreat takes place at Les 4 Sources, in Yvoir between Namur and Dinant, 20 minutes by bike from the station of Yvoir. The old farmhouse that welcomes us has been renovated with ecological materials and each room has a shower room.

Les 4 Sources is also a place where 6 families make the place live and animate a whole series of activities throughout the seasons. There are also 26 donkeys, 2 horses, a lama, an alpaca, a mulberry, 17 hens and a rooster!

Among the inhabitants are artisans, business managers and creative minds who explore the functioning of shared living spaces and governance.

The estate is surrounded by a huge forest, perfect for walks and hikes. The south-facing terrace is also a wonderful spot to rest with a book, a tea or your laptop.

How to get there?

The estate is accessible by car or train. Grouped car ride from the Yvoir train station is possible.

Address: Les 4 Sources, Fonds d’Ahinvaux 1, 5530 Yvoir, Belgium

The village of Yvoir is 7 minutes away by car, 15 minutes by bike or 45 minutes on foot. For shopping needs, the participants can borrow a bike from the centre.
