Meditations:
On the Amstel river I will guide you into a few relaxing meditations, that we'll do on the boat.
These meditations are designed to tune you into, not only yourself, but also the nature surrounding you.
It's a unique and playful experience to meditate on a boat. I'd like to show you the world surrounding you in a different way. Usually we do meditation inside, but you can meditate anywhere!
On the Way:
We'll meet at the Anne Frankhouse. After a short tour of about 10 minutes through the Amsterdam Canals, we'll arrive at the Amstel river. We'll sail all the way along the Amstel river upto Ouderkerk a/d Amstel. On the way there you'll see a lot of houseboats, nice bridges, cows, windmills and the Dutch countryside. Next is a short visit to Ouderkerk a/d Amstel. This village is situated next to the river and is very picturesque.
On the way back we can swim in the Amstel if the weather permits. As soon as we sail into Amsterdam again, skipper Paap will tell you about the highlights of Amsterdam.
We close of the day in the Jordaan area.
A very nice and relaxed day out!

What our guests say about the Meditation & Nature Experience:
Nice and Relaxing Boat ride!
It was a relaxing boat ride through beautiful surroundings. The variety between meditating, eating, chatting, nature, Amsterdam.
A unique boat ride, if you ask me.
I really enjoyed it!
When I went on board I was extremely tense, but after only 15 minutes relaxation set in. The calmness that Carla radiated was a very pleasant experience for me.

Boating and meditation, water, air and space combine very well.
A very nice experience. I had my doubts initially, but honestly a very nice experience! Marc can really tell you stories about anything and Carla had fun meditation exercises. And of course a delicious high tea in Ouderkerk. The weather was great too!

A meditative journey on the water
It is a very special experience to meditate on the water. The resulting ripple of a quiet cruise invites itself to calm down and go inside. The meditation exercises enhance the experience. Give yourself this experience if you have felt the vibrant energy of the city for a few days and you want to enjoy a quiet moment. Or a new experience in your own meditation practice.
