The experience
During this retreat, we will take time to acknowledge the loss you've experienced and the emotions that come with it. We will honor what is, feel gratitude for what was, and find healing through sharing.
When we lose something or someone dear to us, alongside the deep sense of loss, we encounter a range of emotions like sadness, anger, and helplessness. Grieving can often feel like a lonely journey, even when surrounded by friends. Over time, the attention from others may fade, while the grieving process continues to need space and time.
This retreat offers you the opportunity, in a peaceful and safe setting, to be present with whatever emotions arise at this moment. Grounded and without drama. We will not only share the pain but also reflect on the beauty and be grateful for what once was.
You are warmly welcome at Little Dutch Farm to find space for your grief and loss in connection and peace.
The character of this experience
What the facilitator has told us about their own trip. Anything they have not said is simply not here.
- Depth of the experience
- Next level inner journeyThis is not a treat trip. In many cases this is transformative: you look at parts of yourself that are not always pretty or pleasant. That brings uncomfortable moments and often brings up grief you may look at and let go of. It makes contact with deeper layers in you, and so with your heart. It lets you sink towards your true essence, towards what you have to bring to this world.
Who this is for
Said plainly, so you can rule it out as easily as rule it in.
- You are carrying a loss and want time with it in a peaceful, safe setting
- You want to be with whatever comes up — grounded and without drama
- A small group of four to eight suits you better than a large one

Meet your facilitator
Little Dutch Farm
7 years running experiences
Kim Taylor runs nature coaching, day retreats, garden therapy and leadership programmes from a regenerative farm in West-Friesland — a typical Dutch stolp farmhouse built in 1901, about 35 minutes north of Amsterdam. The land does the work alongside her: a meadow with four horses, an orchard, a vegetable garden and a pond. Every session is fully outdoors, in whatever weather the day brings. Kim came to this after nineteen years in sustainability start-ups and scale-ups, and after her own burnout.

What past participants say
“What a wonderful day, free from the hustle and bustle of normal life. A chance to truly breath and reflect on myself. We so often rush through life and we put ourselves last. A day on The Little Dutch Farm was like honey for the soul.”
“The togetherness and intimacy I experienced during the retreat with Kim at Little Dutch Farm brought me so much. Being outdoors, embracing and accepting the weather, greatly enhanced and strengthened the coaching process. Personally, I felt and received all the space I needed for my own process.”
