Hike & Connect

Your community to feel at home

Rediscover Yourself

Our mission is to empower you to reconnect with yourself through personalized coaching and a transformative experience in nature.

Join us for the Hike & Connect Retreat, a transformative 7-day journey on the Camino de Santiago. An impactful experience that combines community hiking with mindset coaching and personal growth!

Designed for young professionals, who are ready for the next step. This retreat offers a profound experience with 1-1 coaching, transformative group program, and lasting meaningful connections.

Your experience could look like this:

5-Day Camino Hike:
This journey is more than a walk in the woods. In just a few days, you'll reconnect with yourself on a deeper level, feeling gratitude and discovering a powerful presence within. The bonds you form with the small group will be supportive, genuine, and empowering, creating a space for you to be completely authentic and true to yourself.

Small, Intimate Group:
With only six to eight participants, you’ll receive personal attention and feel truly connected. You'll be gently supported in expressing your wishes, sharing vulnerabilities, and setting boundaries. By the end, expect a boost in self-confidence and a lasting sense of empowerment.

1-on-1 Coaching:
Your journey during this retreat is uniquely yours. Through 1-on-1 coaching, daily meditations, somatic practices, and more, you'll gain deep insights into your personal journey, growth and inner strengths. Nature’s silence will help you tune into your inner voice, recognize your limits, and embrace your full experience.

Your Path, Your Experience:
Each day will bring unexpected adventures and moments of joy as you walk through breathtaking landscapes. The beauty of nature will ground you, expand your vision, and leave you feeling calm, centered, and clear.
Community Hiking Days:
We prepare for the retreat with Monthly Community Hiking Days! These gatherings connect you with nature and mindful adventurers who live from the heart and find inspiration in the outdoors. We train together for the Camino Experience in May, and feel free to bring a plus 1.

Our
Story

We’re Femke and Morrin, both 33 years old, and our journey together began at a yurt festival on a beautiful island in The Netherlands four years ago. From the moment we met, our shared love for nature, hiking, yoga, and personal development sparked an instant friendship.

Morrin guides individuals to create a greater awareness of the love and interconnectedness that is in this world. She loves to bring people together who are willing to see that all is a reflection of themselves. Going into nature, on an experience which will transform the way you look at life, and lets you connect to deeper parts of yourself are part of Morrins' highest values in life. And to bring this in a unique way to others is truly a gift for her to be able to do. Morrin her purpose is to guide you back home to yourself.

Femke has led many retreats and believes that a truly fulfilling life begins by living from the heart. In today's world, with its constant distractions, Femke recognizes how easy it is to lose touch with ourselves. She sees the consequences of this disconnection—feelings of emptiness, being lost, insecurity, and a lack of genuine connection with others. That's why she is dedicated to helping people rediscover and reconnect with themselves. Femke knows the profound value of connection and living a presence-based life. For her, surrendering to 'what is' (or the journey) brings deep joy and fulfilment.

Together we are committed to guiding others on a journey towards inner fulfilment and authentic living.
