Follow up

For participants of the cold water day retreat, follow-up sessions will also be organized starting in 2025. I noticed that many participants are eager to continue the day retreat, to maintain it and with professional guidance. Therefore, starting in the fall, I will organize follow-up sessions so you have the opportunity to join us in the cold water monthly. This is a trial run, so the format is subject to change.

here is already how I want to shape it at this moment.

During these follow-up moments, you will have the opportunity to connect, breathe, and dip or swim in the cold water here at my home every month.

What does such a follow-up look like?

• Welcome and get acquainted
• Joint breathwork by Wim Hof in preparation
• Together we enter the water within a safe time frame that I, as the instructor, determine in advance depending on the water temperature.
• Joint warm-up exercise
• End with a cup of tea and a chat

Bart

I attended the cold water day retreat today with a very pleasant group. It was a wonderful experience that I would definitely do again. This was especially thanks to Els's guidance, which was perfect. I discovered myself in a whole new way, and I highly recommend it to others. This review is more than deserved. Thank you, Els, for this day.

Blue

Not only the warmth of the sun that day, but also the warm welcome and the cozy atmosphere Els created, made me feel completely at ease entering the icy water. The day was built up gradually. There was time for self-reflection, expert explanations, relaxation, and camaraderie. An ideal combination, effortlessly provided by Els. It was a day with a golden edge, and I'm very eager for more. I'm so grateful that I was able to be there today. It was a special experience, and the connection within the group felt wonderful. Your guidance

It has helped me enormously to experience that inner strength and peace, and I am truly grateful for that. Thank you so much, Els.

After long deliberations about whether the cold water day would be right for me, I look back today on a wonderfully relaxing day, expertly guided by Els. Connection and breathwork were key, with the highlight being able to step into the cold water of the beautiful pool.

Thank you for the beautiful experience.
