Breathing space for humanity
Our training location is a hotspot for developing sustainable behavioral change, leadership skills, and emotional intelligence. You are welcome to attend our personalized training courses and guidance, individually or in a group.
This page explains our location, the 60m2 classroom, and what I can offer you.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to help!

Training location Groningen
Our ecological training facility is located on the outskirts of Roegwold National Park, just outside the village of Slochteren. You are welcome to increase your emotional intelligence here, in order to create sustainable recovery, growth, change and/or human-focused leadership in your daily work and life. Feel free to contact us for more information.
The view from the classroom is fantastic; check out the photos. There are unobstructed views over the meadows from the front and rear. We have over 3000 square meters of organically landscaped gardens, which you are free to enjoy during your breaks. Benches are scattered around, but you can also sit or lie in the grass.
After enjoying a vegetarian lunch or delicacy, you can take a walk. There is a beautiful half an hour walk around the mill. And if you have more time, you can explore the Overbos Forest in about an hour. For multi-day training sessions, we’re happy to arrange a visit to the nearby Dannemeer Lake or Fraeylemaborg Medieval Castle, complete with its gardens, Slochterbos.
The classroom
The classroom is 60 square meters in size and features its own entrance, hallway, restroom, and kitchen. As you can see on the video, the space feels inviting and is intentionally decorated in a way that helps you feel at ease immediately. After all, you come here to focus inward. That’s why you won’t find suspended ceilings or fluorescent lighting here. Enjoy the cozy sofa, comfortable chairs, natural light, warm wooden furniture, window frames, and soft cushions. They are here to encourage you to relax. There are even hammock chairs and swings!
The extendable table can accommodate up to ten people. This is also the maximum number of participants on training days. Additional tables and/or chairs can be added as needed for lectures or other purposes.
There’s no need to worry about catering. You can grab coffee and tea for yourself. Plenty of (often home-baked) treats will be available during the breaks. My husband Rik prepares a delicious soup or salad for lunch, depending on the season. We ensure plenty of sandwiches and ingredients for vegetarian options and aim for the most organic lunch possible. Please feel free to let us know your preferences in advance! Given our limited culinary knowledge, we cannot accommodate specific diets, but you’re welcome to bring your own food if you prefer.
Easily accessible
People from the Netherlands and beyond seek my support in achieving sustainable behavior change. They typically visit our training facility alongside my online offerings, but you can also opt to come in person instead of choosing online assistance. There are excellent hotels and B&Bs available in the area, but please be sure to make your reservations in advance.
The training site is easily accessible by bicycle and public transportation (bus line 178 from the main station in Groningen, exit at stop Stichtinglaan; from there, it is a 15-minute walk to our training facility). If you are driving, take the Slochteren exit from the N387.
Are you interested in visiting us? If so, please share your needs and wishes so I can provide you with more information about prices and availability.
Stay tuned
