Since ancient history men from all over the world have known that it is essential to gather with men and share in what is transcendental.

Professional musician Alexander Gustave van Breemen has been guiding men in workshops, sessions, men's rituals and retreats for more than 15 years. His international work on festivals, conferences, trainings, retreats and workshops in Europe, Asia, The US and Africa has provided him with a widened experience of working and thinking within different cultures and backgrounds.

The Program

In this 5 day retreat we provide powerful and transcending tools that men from all over the world have been using since thousands of years, for healing, strength, clarity and tranquility. With our program we slowly bring our busy minds back to a more natural and calmer state and strengthen our focus. We become more receptive and open for the healing currents that are present.

  • Daily meditations

  • Mindfulness

  • Qi-gong/ EBR (Energetic Body Re-allignment)

  • Walking meditation

  • Rhythms, music and voice

  • All meals included

 

Asha Meditation

You will learn the powerful method of Asha Meditation, which was developed by Yoginâm for this modern age man and which you can easily integrate into your daily life.

 

Qi-Gong/EBR

The morning program includes the profound method of EBR (Energetic Body Re-allignment).We sit behind laptops and on couches and drive cars for long periods of time, which, for many men, has resulted in many physical complaints. The EBR program contains exercises from Qi Gong, Hatha yoga, martial arts, and a fysiotherapeutic background, that cover a wide area where these problems find their source. Men with back, leg, shoulder and neck problems, experienced a gradual decrease, or even disappearance, of many of those problems, by using this program on a daily basis.

 

What makes this retreat different?

We are located in The Garden of Nâm where everything is designed in the vision of Yoginâm, the inspirator of LivingNâm (a way of living that is steered towards optimal living). Many people from different cultures and backgrounds from around the world have been visiting him to share in his healing resonance, to benefit their lives. As The Garden is next to Yoginâm's hermitage there is the rare opportunity for the participants to share in the healing resonance of Yoginâm's HarpMood sessions. For those who feel the need, it is also possible to book a personal HarpMood or healing.

 

Accommodation and Food

During the retreat you will stay in one of the traditional, Andalucian style guestrooms, with in the background one of the most beautiful mountain areas near the coast of Andalucia, Spain. The Garden of Nâm is an oasis of tranquility where you can walk along fruit vegetation, exotic plants and trees, where you can sit under the centrally located pergola or in little corners with cool shade and breathtaking views in all directions. Coming to The Garden of Nâm is coming to a garden of transformation.

Enjoy healthy and homegrown food, picked from the garden and prepared by our Ayurvedic cook. During the week you will be served a variety of ecological, detoxing, rejunvenating and tasteful meals.

Location

We are situated in Níjar, one of the most beautiful villages of Andalucia. When you cross the bridge, 2 minutes walking from The Garden, you can enjoy a walk through the old village centre with its romantic, narrow alleys and traditional, Andalucian houses. You can take a walk up the mountain to the Atalaya tower for a stunning view over the entire area, all the way up to the sea and the famous nature reservate of Cabo de Gata. In the old village centre you can enjoy a coffee or cold drink with tapas on the atmospherical terrace at one of the traditional Spanish cafés, under amazingly shaped olive trees. During the retreat we will visit the mountain village Huebro, with sensational views across the mountain, where we can drink fresh, mineral rich, drinking water, directly from the mountain source.
