"Peaceful and relaxing time"
The house and its surroundings were very nice. The yoga lessons simply perfect as the teacher explained every single move with precision and was correcting us all the time. Although I don’t particularly fancy meditation, I did participate to nearly all meditations (only skipped one) and find it really useful.

"Refreshing change "
The experience at the retreat was like a breath of fresh air. Kathelijne is a very calming soul and the house is also very quiet and peaceful. My favorite part of the retreat was the yoga classes and quiet meals. Made me appreciate food more than what I usually do. Also the location of retreat is amidst green meadows and I could go out for a walk anytime.

we take care of ourselves: no need to think about the cooking.
All meals are prepared for us. It allows us to use our energy for ourselves and our well being.
I could go for a walk whenever i want. And for me, not thinking about having a key to come back was also nice. I just went for a walk, not thinking about closing the doors or having the key in my pocket. I could come back easily. The doors are always open and there are always people around.
The yoga: my body really felt everything. I feel in my body that my body was active. And it's a good feeling.
It's a very calm place. And i needed to be surrounded by calm and silence. That was my mood for the w-e. And the people there are in the same mood. It's so nice because you feel that there is no weirdness by not talking or not being super social.
Your need for silence and calm is respected.

"Meditation weekend at Asharum Amonines"
This is a really good place to meditate, escape de city, and detox from noise and pollution. The house is clean and every day I had very nutritious and delicious food. There is plenty of space to relax and reflect during your stay. Everyone that runs the place is helpful and friendly. They work very hard from very early to run the place as smooth as possible. I liked that I had consistent guided meditation but without being forced to join all 4 sessions a day. I had a lot of freedom to move inside and outside of the house. My room was cozy, had a good mattress, and a double blanket for warmth. Every night after 9 pm you do not hear anything and you can sleep peacefully and then wake up with the birds. There are beautiful short and long hikes around and very little people to bump into. In general I had a very good experience and I would definitely recommend staying here.

"Life changing experience"
Spending a few days at the Asharum was the perfect gift for my soul. The atmosphere is so serene and peaceful. You can be your true self, observing your thoughts without unwanted distractions. The meditation sessions were well organized and they were great. The Asharum is the perfect place to be with yourself and reconnect with the truest version of you. I highly recommend spending time here for everyone who's too overwhelmed with their busy life and wants to reconnect with their higher selves.

"Fijne retraite "
Retraite is een aanrader. De locatie is rustgevend (het huis, de tuin en de vrijwilligers ook). Alles is schoon en wordt goed bijgehouden en goed georganiseerd zodat je je nergens zorgen om hoeft te maken, uitleg omtrent alles is helder en toegankelijk. Grootste pluspunt zijn de yogalessen van Katelijn. Ze heeft zoveel kennis en oog van detail en brengt het op een enorm goede en fijne manier over. Zou er zeker voor terug komen.

"Zo rustgevend "
Ik beoefen al bijna 6 jaar yoga en heb zoveel bijgeleerd. Katelijn haar lessen waren zeer kwaliteitsvol en precies wat ik nodig had om mijn houding te verbeteren.
Het eten was fantastisch lekker en de locatie warm en oh zo gezellig. Er heerst er een zeer aangename energie dat je onmiddellijk tot rust brengt :)

"Amazing!"
Just the calmness I needed, will definitely return. Food, accommodation, and hospitality - perfect. Deeply recommend staying in silence for as long as you need :-)

"Amazing Experience!"
The silent retreat was great. The staff is very welcoming and you feel like home from the first second you enter this special place. The facilities, the surrounding and the program really makes you put pause on the daily life and find back to yourself. I can 100% recommend it to anyone who wants to experience deep peace and recharge.

"Relaxed and cosy "
You immediately feel at home at the Asharum. The rooms are cosy and comfortable. The w common area is inviting and peaceful.
The house is in a serene village, it’s nice to walk around in peace. 5 mins’ drive away there is a slightly bigger town, with a pub and a few shops.
As for the food, the lunch could be a bit more filling but the evening meal was very nice.
Most importantly, the meditation sessions are great and allow you to really get deep and benefit from the asha method in full.

"Hervorragendes und sehr entspannendes yoga retreat "
Besonders gut war der yoga Unterricht. Auch das Essen war sehr gut. Was auffiel, war der wenig kommerzielle Charakter des Retreats.

"Fint og nydelig opphold"
Denne retreaten setter et spor i deg, en trygghet i deg selv finner du i løpet av dagene. Stillheten er uvant, men utrolig fin.
Alle som jobbet og bor der er så fine mennesker, de tar vare på deg og følger opp alt du trenger. Jeg kan virkelig anbefale denne retreaten om du vil få et dypdykk i deg selv som menneske - jeg kommer alltid til å ta med meg denne opplevelsen videre. Tusentakk for et unikt opphold!

"Asharum Amonines, een fijne yoga retreat"
Ik vond de yoga lessen heel fijn. Omdat ik al langer aan yoga doe, krijg ik bijna nooit meer aanwijzingen. Van Katelijn kreeg ik wel aanwijzingen hoe ik de houdingen kan verbeteren om er meer profijt van te hebben. Er was veel aandacht voor elke deelnemer, omdat er maximaal 4 mensen meedoen.

"Heerlijke ervaring"
Katelijn is geduldig en bouwt de yoga oefeningen goed op. Ze heeft oog voor alle deelnemers. Je voelt je heel welkom in Asharum Amonines. De meditaties zijn rustgevend, de ligging is prima.

"Magisch"
In de glimlach van de Ardennen waar je even helemaal niets moet kan je dwalen & verdwalen in een lieve stilte, door een bos waar schaduwen warm zijn. Onder de zachte vleugels van Katelijn & Irma mag je gewòòn zijn & gewoon zìjn.

"A great place to reflect"
A lovely house, in an idyllic village, the garden is tranquil and the communal areas are quite spacious, so you have plenty of space for yourself. The location is very remote so it is the perfect place to cut yourself off from the world and self-reflect. The routine of the regular meditations was quite helpful.

A beautiful retreat center where you can unwind, reflect and will be inspired. Warm, sweet and wonderful residents. The location is amazing and perfect for hikes. Amazing vegan meals and fantastic yoga classes perfectly tuned in and given in small groups for the best personal attention.

Zalige ervaring. Leuke en gemotiveerde mensen, eenvoudige kraaknette kamers, prachtige locatie en gezond eten. Absoluut low footprint. Alles wat ik nodig had om terug een beetje op te laden en eens weg te zijn van werkstress. Mocht gerust ganse week zijn ! Het beste bewijs is bloeddruk: 15-10 voor en 13-8 na 3dagen. Zonder medicatie, enkel yoga en meditatie, stilte, no stress en gezonde voeding. Ik kom na de vakantie zeker eens terug ! (mét mijn paellapan) Namasté.

"Très chouette stage yoga dans les Ardennes "
Ce qui m'a marquée c'est la douceur qui traverse chaque chose. On se sent immédiatement chez soi et accueilli. La maison offre divers types d'espaces. L'environnement est relaxant. De nombreuses promenades sont accessibles à pied. L'équipe respire la sérénité. Ce fut un Séjour très agreable avec la sensation du temps suspendu.
Très chouette séjour !

"Apaisement et introspection "
La maison possède une énergie encline à la déconnexion et à l'introspection.
Les repas sont de très bonne qualité.
Les personnes qui gèrent la maison sont agréables et j'ai passé de chouettes moments avec eux.
Les cours de yoga étaient très bien construits et Katelijn explique et corrige de manière douce. Elle a l'œil et m'a appris énormément de choses pour améliorer ma pratique.

"A place to reconnect with yourself"
If you are searching for a space to focus, unwind and reconnect with yourself, look no further. Asharum Amonines is very peaceful with a warm atmosphere, it feels almost like "coming home". The vegan food is delicious, the rooms are comfy, the meditation and Harp Mood sessions are eye opening. The Ardennes are close by, so you can go for hikes in the surrounding nature in your free time.
Many thanks to Irma, Katelijn and all the other residents, for being so welcoming and caring. Hope to see you again in the future!

"I still can feel all the energy that they gives me."
I believe that this short term silence meditation is a really good step. If you are looking for more, i can sincerely say that do not hesitate to take this. I am going to be in Nâm Foundation again, for sure!
Cozy and warm place felt like a home, good instructors and luckily great weather. It was really nice to watch the rain on the winter garden with tea:)
