SUMMARY:5 Days Men's Retreat April 2026
DESCRIPTION:“Since ancient history men from all over the world have known that it is essential to gather and share in that what is transcendental.” \nThe Program\nIn 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. \n\n\nDaily meditations \n\n\nMindfulness \n\n\nQi-gong/ EBR (Energetic Body Re-allignment) \n\n\nWalking meditation \n\n\nRhythms\, music and voice \n\n\nAll meals included \n\n\n  \nAsha Meditation\nYou 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. \n\n  \nQi-Gong/EBR\nThe 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. \n  \nWhat makes this retreat different?\nWe 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. \n  \nAccommodation and Food\nDuring 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. \nEnjoy 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. \n  \nRetreat Guidance\nMeditation- and music teacher\, professional musician\, father\, composer and experienced transcending sound & voice worker Alexander Gustave van Breemen has been guiding men in workshops\, sessions\, men’s rituals and retreats for more than 15 years. He uses music\, rhythm and voice as transforming tools in many of his programs and was inspired by Yoginâm who guided him on this journey towards optimal living since 2006. 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. \n  \nLocation\nWe 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. \n  \nTransport\nNíjar is 20 minutes driving from Almeria Airport. You can be picked up or dropped off for a small fee by our staff. Alternative airports are in Malaga and Alicante. Malaga has a good and affordable public transport connection (Alsa bus transport) to Almeria\, where you can be picked up by car for the last 20 minutes (for a small fee). \nOf course you could also rent a car at one of the airports which offer a variety of choice. \n​ \n​ \nCosts\nAll meals are included in your arrangement (coffee\, tea and filtered water are freely available). \nRooms ranging from € 690\,- / € 860\,- \n​​ \nBooking\nTo reserve your space or for more information please send us a mail at musicforwellbeing@gmail.com or contact us via Whatsapp: 0031624533279 \nDates\n\n\n\nArrival 18 April\nDeparture 24 April
