ABOUT US
Sacred Flow Retreats is not just an escape—it’s a homecoming to yourself. It’s a space where challenge meets expansion, where presence replaces distraction, and where you step beyond the limits of who you thought you were. Here, the rawness of nature, the depth of human connection, and the intelligence of mind and body come together in a way that is transformational, primal, and deeply human.
The name itself carries profound meaning. "Sacred" represents the most important journey we will ever take—the journey inward. It is the path to knowing ourselves beyond the layers of conditioning, beyond fear, beyond limitation. It is the deep, undeniable call to reclaim who we truly are. "Flow" is the state of being fully immersed in experience—where movement becomes effortless, resistance dissolves, and you step beyond limitations into pure presence. It is the rhythm of life itself, the dynamic pulse that exists within nature, within breath, within you.
At Sacred Flow Retreats, we strip away distractions, break through barriers, and immerse ourselves in a space where growth, play, challenge, and deep rest coexist. This is not about escaping life—it’s about learning how to fully live it.
Accommodations & Nourishing Meals
Your home for the week is Stadsurfing, a sanctuary cradled between towering cliffs and the endless Atlantic. Here, simplicity meets comfort. Cozy shared rooms, breathtaking views, and a space designed for both deep rest and wild expression.
Every meal is crafted with intention—fueling your body with nutrient-rich, locally sourced foods that energize, restore, and bring people together. Expect vibrant flavors, nourishing ingredients, and the kind of meals that make you feel truly alive.
Breathwork
Your breath is your most powerful tool—an untapped gateway to resilience, presence, and transformation. Through guided breathwork, you'll learn to harness its power, unlocking states of deep calm, heightened awareness, and raw energy.
Breathwork isn’t just about relaxation—it’s about expansion. It’s about breaking through internal walls, dissolving fear, and connecting with the deepest parts of yourself.
Cold Exposure & Suanas
Step into the cold. Not to endure, but to awaken. Cold exposure isn’t about suffering—it’s about surrender. The ice strips away everything that isn’t real, leaving only raw presence and unshakable clarity.
Then, the heat. The sauna is where we soften, release, and restore. Fire and ice, stress and surrender—the perfect balance to recalibrate your nervous system, strengthen your mind, and rewire how you respond to challenge.
Fighting Monkey & Daily Movement
Movement isn’t a routine—it’s an expression. A conversation between your mind and body. Fighting Monkey practice blends elements of play, unpredictability, and deep functional movement to build adaptability, fluidity, and strength.
Through dance, primal movement, and playful exploration, you'll reconnect with the innate intelligence of your body—breaking free from rigidity and stepping into flow.
Community, Connection & Solitude
True connection starts within. This retreat is a space to go inward, to sit with yourself in stillness, and to embrace the silence before stepping into community.
Here, we balance deep solitude with profound connection. There’s no pressure to perform, no expectations—just real, raw human connection. You’ll laugh, move, and share deeply, while also having the space to reflect and be with yourself.
No devices. No distractions. Just presence.

Retreat Facilitators
Sanjay
Sanjay once dismissed breathwork—until a single moment changed everything. Though raised in The Netherlands, his father urged him to explore his Indian roots, a journey he resisted for over 20 years. When he finally embraced breathwork, it unlocked a profound connection to his past, his culture, and himself. A former strength and conditioning coach at the legendary Westside Barbell, Sanjay trained elite athletes and witnessed firsthand the power of the mind in overcoming fear and pressure. Seeking deeper answers, he traveled the world, studying under the best and committing only to teaching what he has lived. Today, he leads workshops globally, blending breath, movement, and mindset to help others unlock their full potential. To him, nature is not an alternative—it is the medicine.
Jacob
Growing up in Nova Scotia, Canada, Jacob was shaped by the raw beauty of nature but spent years lost in societal expectations, numbing his truth with distractions. Beneath the surface, anger and unresolved pain fueled a cycle of self-destruction—until he hit rock bottom. That breaking point became his turning point, leading him to breathwork, movement, and deep self-reflection. Through this journey, he found clarity, purpose, and the power to live authentically. Now, as a Certified Life Coach, NLP Practitioner, Wim Hof Method Instructor, Oxygen Advantage Coach, and Yoga Nidra Facilitator, he helps others strip away the noise, master stress, and reclaim their lives. His mission is simple: guide others toward freedom, resilience, and a life of deep fulfillment.
Berny
Bernhard began his journey in communication management and built a successful creative studio, but something was missing—true meaning. In 2016, he discovered the Wim Hof Method, a turning point that led him to explore the deep connection between breath, mind, and body. By 2019, he became a certified instructor, later expanding his expertise with Oxygen Advantage. The sudden loss of his father had left an unresolved wound, but through breathwork, he found healing, peace, and a renewed sense of purpose. Now, he helps others unlock their inner resilience, using breath as a tool for transformation. His father’s mantra—"I can do this, I want this, I will achieve this"—guides his mission to empower others. Currently, he is training to become a Heilpraktiker, deepening his knowledge of holistic health.
Jess
As the founder of Studio Je T’aime, my passion for photography and art is at the heart of everything I do. Through the lens, I capture raw emotion, fleeting moments of transformation, and the beauty of human connection—especially in spaces where people are stepping into their power. Co-hosting these experiences is an honour because I get to witness and document the profound shifts our guests go through—embracing breath, consciousness, and the cold with courage. My background in energy healing—as a Reiki practitioner, Shamanic cacao facilitator, and life coach—allows me to hold space during powerful breathing sessions, guide mindfulness meditations, and facilitate conscious discussions. Whether I’m behind the camera or in the circle, my mission is the same: to capture and support the magic of transformation.
