The Monastery LIve

19/12/2025

Do you sometimes need a little support? Someone to listen to you with full presence? To give you a couple of tools to reimagine what is going on in your life? To test out other options?
Could your relationship do with a little boost?

I offer individual and couple sessions onine or at home (between Oliveira and Arganil. The work is based on Jungian shadow work, creative therapy, somatic experiencing and years of practice.

Why do we not embrace being full of contradictions? Why not make the journey towards your inner confusion one of creative pleasure and wonder? Why not embrace all the versions of 'you' that you can not bring out into the world (yet)?

Salon d'Espoir is ready to welcome you for tailor-made individual or couple sessions. We work on the mind through the body, inner parts work, focussing, breathing, shapeshifting, and constellations. If you want to know more, check out the website, or mail me for a personal conversation...

Onlangs werd ik geinterviewd voor de podcast ZIEL van Eva de Groote en Ruben Nachtergaele. (Die ook al de heel mooie reekst 'Wijze Vrouw' maakten). Het werd een mooi gesprek, en ik deel graag deze episode:

Listen to this episode from Ziel on Spotify. De volgende stop in het onderzoek naar ziel is Randall Casaer, hij is illustrator, kunstenaar en mensenfluisteraar. Vanuit zijn leven en werk kwam hij tot de vaststelling dat we in essentie één en hetzelfde zijn. We trekken ook naar de Ardennen waar Ell...

Join us one last time for Silent Days at Solwaster! From 17-21 July we sit together once more, before the move of the Monastery Live to a new location. It would be great to see you (again) and close this chapter of the work together...

THE MONASTERY MOVES...
Looking for helpers!

Hello everybody, due to circumstances we no longer have the funds to keep The Monastery Live location in Solwaster, and we have to move out by the end of July. We will move with pain in the heart, for leaving the beautiful forests and streams behind will be a bit of an adjustment. But at the same time we are setting up Monastery weeks in other locations and we hope to welcome you there soon.

But there is quite a bit of stuff to move, and it would be fantastic if you would find the time to join us for (a couple of) day(s) to help with boxing and moving. Of course you could stay over for free and also eat for free in these days.
There is a last Silent Days retreat from 17-21 July, and then...
22-23 July: Last trips to the Recycling centre and Second Hand store, and demontage of a couple of closets
24-26: Boxing days...
27: MOVING DAY.
If we are enough people, we can combine packing and walking/meditating, and make it a real retreat. Hope some of you can make it!

Love,
Elle
