Retreats in Spring 2026
Dear friends,
Amiglia continues to unfold—quietly, for now—behind the scenes. Her caretakers are exploring, arranging, and preparing. Meanwhile, Amiglia herself has settled into a restorative winter rest: cold, still, and incubating, gathering her strength before she awakens again and lets her natural beauty blossom in the New Year. She has plans!
Welcome to Amiglia in spring.
This is an invitation to shed what no longer serves you, to become free, and to allow your true nature to shine. Shining is not something you learn to do—it’s a natural state of being, just like growing, learning, and connecting. At Amiglia, we don’t teach you to shine harder; instead, we gently explore what stands in the way of the light coming through - along with inspiration and authentic expression. Here are the retreats that will be held at Amiglia in spring 2026:
Uncover Your True Nature with Zoe Joncheere
Moving Language with Zoe Joncheere
Inhabiting with Zoe Joncheere & Mathilde van Beekhuizen
Rites of Passage with Aafke van Sprundel
Uncover Your True Nature
With Zoe Joncheere
What does it mean to be me? What is my unique expression? How can I uncover more of my creative potential?
In this retreat we learn to differentiate between the person that we are - with all its inherited and adopted features - and our true nature. We drop layers and find that we don’t have to try hard, invent originality, or force ourselves to be more loving and lovable. Our true nature IS love. Our true nature IS expressing itself in a unique way. We just have to look into what stands in the way. By doing that, we become more transparant and less attached, available for life itself to happen through us. We become more ‘nobody’, and that is so much easier than identify with the person. Life starts being a dance.

Moving Language
With Zoe Joncheere
“Moving Language creates, as it were, an open field — almost inaudibly soft. With a very fine vibration, this language juggles with purity, with love, with simplicity… it flows in and out… undulating, graceful… like a dance.” (participant)
This retreat is for you if the following resonates with you:
You feel like you live in a fragmented world — and at the same time, you sense that this is just a way of seeing things. There is another way… but you can’t quite grasp it.
Let me give you a key …
Babies don’t feel separate. Animals don’t either.
They are life. Reality. Completeness.
Why? They don’t use language.

Inhabiting
For artists who like to be guided by transpersonal knowing. For spiritual seekers who want to enhance their capacity of observing (inner) landscapes.
The land of Amiglia and its surroundings is our field of exploration. Zoe guides us with her expertise in meditation, Nobody’s Dance and Moving Language. With Mathilde we learn to observe as an artist: to track and map the landscape in unexpected ways, to zoom in and out, to question and to (re-)associate. In the synergy of the two women and the presence of the elements, we deepen our experience of inhabiting who we truly are and find new ways to give expression to that. Learn more

Rites of Passage
With Aafke van Sprundel
Throughout times and especially honored and upheld by indigenous people around the world, rites of passages have helped people entering new phases.
This week you are guided to uncover, dive deep, and embrace a new stage of your life. You will go through the 3 steps that underly all rites of passages:
separation of the old
embracing the liminal stage (the term for the in-between)
integration as you prepare to go back home or to your next stage in life.
10 to 16 May 2026

Heartfelt greetings,
