Urban Retreats
Urban retreats provide a way for you to deepen your practice, and get some quality ‘me’-time — without having to travel. You can also book a bespoke private urban retreat for a commercial or personal event with a difference.
Price Transparency & ACcessibility
Almost everybody is feeling the squeeze at the moment. I price Urban Retreats so that, after expenses, I get paid a mid-range per-hour rate for a freelancer in Amsterdam, assuming moderate attendance to the retreat.
I truly think that accessibility is important, and so I also offer two ‘access spots’ per retreat for €25. These spots are priced to cover costs of the venue, food and taxes only.
Want to book an access spot? Please get in touch. I never ask for personal details about finances: I trust that you understand that access spots are intended for people who genuinely need them.

Price: from €695 for a half-day and €1095 for a full-day - price will vary depending on location, number of attendees and catering choices
