Our purpose
Modern day society is not a very healthy place. We are not naturally equipped to handle life’s fast pace, to perform under continuous pressure and the influence of its extreme information density. In these times people can be restless, stuck in their mind, feeling controlled etc. Therefore it is absolutely crucial to be mindful and work on your own mental and physical health. This retreat is a great kick start for a change of lifestyle, it gives you tools for different perspective on life.

Co-founder Forci & Facilitator
Michiel is the co-founder of Forci and focuses on creating life changing experiences.

A regenerative living estate, where it all comes together with a holistic view on well-being with nature at the center of everything, focussing on a lifestyle change as medicine.
Kristofer Twofeathers
Healer
Kristofer Twofeathers, sun dancer from the Lakota tradition, was trained thanks to the numerous teachings received from the wisdom of various medicine men and women from different Native American traditions. For over 20 years he has been conducting numerous ceremonies in Italy and in Europe such as the Inipi, the sweat lodge, fasting ceremonies and various ceremonial dances. He believes that these ancient rituals should not be lost because they constitute a great source of healing, they give us the opportunity to reconnect with our true nature, with Mother Earth and with the entire universe. Ceremonies create magic and in these special moments we become aware that we are in relationship with everything that surrounds us and we return to be newborns, simple beings amazed by the beauty that is all around us.
