6-day In Person Retreat with Miranda Macpherson
I invite you to join me for a 6-day residential retreat—a sacred opportunity to step out of the busyness of daily life and reconnect with the deeper truth of your Being.
When we create space to slow down, listen deeply, and turn inward, we become more available to Grace—the tangible presence within us that awakens, heals, transforms, and guides us home. Retreat offers a unique opportunity to relax beyond habitual patterns and open more fully to the wisdom, love, and Presence that is already here.
Together, we will explore a blend of spiritual teaching, meditation, inquiry, silence, devotional practice, music, and embodied exploration, all held within a field of compassion, authenticity, and deep acceptance. My intention is to support not only moments of insight, but a deeper capacity to embody what you discover in everyday life.
In this supportive environment, you may find yourself:
- Deepening your connection to Presence and inner stillness
- Opening more fully to the transformative power of Grace
- Releasing limiting patterns, beliefs, and emotional burdens
- Cultivating greater trust, clarity, and self-compassion
- Discovering a more authentic and embodied expression of your true nature
- Renewing your sense of purpose, meaning, and connection
More than a break from daily life, retreat is an invitation to come home—to rest in the freedom, wisdom, and love that are your deepest essence and allow that realization to illuminate every aspect of your life. I look forward to sharing this precious time together.
The topic for this retreat has not yet been announced. Early registration at the discounted rate that was offered this year is being offered below for a limited time only!
Retreat Center The Place to – BE, Zelhem, Netherlands
Our new home, “The Place to BE”, is located in the eastern Netherlands, held within a wide embrace of forest and meadow on the Slangenburg estate. Once a working farm built in 1921, this land has patiently matured into a sanctuary for inner awakening. Now lovingly restored, it offers a simple, affordable, and deeply supportive environment for retreat— creating a space where transformation and shared inquiry can naturally deepen.
How to Get There
Breathwork with Heleen Hulscher
An integral and important part of this retreat is the 3 BreathWork sessions which Heleen Hulscher will lead alongside Miranda in order to deepen your process of Ego Relaxation.
Heleen is a Breathwork trainer & coach in The Netherlands as well as being a member of our Living Grace Global Sangha.
Healing and Ego Relaxation through BreathWork is at the core of all the work Heleen has been offering since 2003. BreathWork is a way of doing shadow work, which is relevant in an integral approach. By doing shadow work you become more whole. This supports Ego Relaxation.
