Pause. Reflect. Create. Receive your soul’s message for the year ahead.

*** The workshop will be taught in English to include non-Dutch participants. However, if expressing yourself in English during inquiry or sharing’s is difficult, you’re welcome to do that in Dutch of course. ***


Let’s release the pressure of New Year’s resolutions ...

... and move our intention setting to the natural turning point of the seasonal energies when winter begins to give way to new life, in late January / early February. We will create a SoulCard — a mini-collage that helps you connect with your intuition and give form to the inspiration that is ready to be carried forward into the unfolding cycle.

This retreat is for those who

  • Are tired of cramming everything into December
  • Know there’s a gentler, more aligned rhythm to tap into
  • Want to connect with their inner guidance and intuition
  • Wish to deepen seasonal reflection, for example as part of the Chakra Journey
  • Are looking for a meaningful, nourishing pause to reset and set intentions

This is a much more aligned way of moving forward into the new year that syncs with the natural flow of the seasons — not the commercialized hype of December 31st.
After the busy holiday season, it’s easy to feel pulled in every direction — unfinished tasks, lingering thoughts, and the pressure to “get ready” for the new year. If you’ve been moving non-stop, like the bustling streets of a big city — always busy, always on the go, nowhere to park — inspiration struggles to reach you. Life tries to whisper, but your mind is full, and the things you truly long for can’t land.

Everything you want, wants you too. But you need to be available.

Nature’s new year begins with the Spring Equinox on March 21st. So there is plenty of time to close the unfinished chapters of the past year and create space for the new. Dust off old desires, longings, and visions, and let them fuse into a message from your soul — a subtle, powerful guide for the year ahead.


During the day, you can expect

  • Time for yourself to pause, reflect, and connect with your inner guidance
  • An intuitive mix of meditation, mantra, yoga, free movement, and flow-writing to prepare for your SoulCard
  • A ritual to reach completion of the past year — however unfinished it might feel.
  • A reflective and creative space to explore your intentions for the year ahead
  • Guidance in creating your personal SoulCard — a tangible keepsake that captures your soul’s message for the year ahead

Atmosphere of the Day

Intimate, supportive and playful — a space where reflection, creativity, and connection flow naturally


Interesting to Know

Completing – an important step BEFORE we start creating

Before the workshop, you will receive an assignment by e-mail to help you consciously complete the past year. Please bring your work to the workshop. Only when something is completed can space open for the new to arise. Holding on to old things or keeping your hands (and heart) closed reduces your ability to fully receive what you long for. As Helen Schuman puts it in A Course in Miracles:

“It’s not your duty to search for love, but to remove all obstacles within yourself, all barriers that keep love from being able to find you.”

Creating with a mini-vision-board

During the workshop, we will first dedicate a ritual to say goodbye to the year behind us and then open the doors to the new one. Through journaling, we invite your subconscious to express itself, guiding us in exploring what you want to manifest in the coming year. Your SoulCard — a mini-vision-board created on the spot — allows your soul to speak and reveal what is ready to emerge.

At the end of the workshop, you will have an inspiring SoulCard for 2026, along with a clear understanding of the message it carries for you. This tangible keepsake becomes a source of guidance to navigate your path in the year ahead.


What is a SoulCard?

A SoulCard is a mini-collage — a tangible reflection of your inner wisdom. Through simple materials, guided reflection, and creativity, you give form to the subtle inspiration that arose during the winter months.

This is not about bucket lists or attracting the “perfect year.” It’s deeper, quieter, and stronger. The voice we are inviting is as close to you as your own breath — yet so often ignored in the busyness of life. It whispers to you what your next step could be, and when we don’t listen, life sends obstacles, challenges, or breakdowns to slow us down, “forcing” us to finally tune in.




Reviews from Past Participants

"The SoulCard helped me make a desire that had been buried in my subconscious more visible and tangible. The follow-up support from Karolien gave me tools to actually bring that energy into my life. Creating the SoulCard was such a beautiful ritual that I’m joining again this year!"  Tessa
"I never expected that I, someone very analytical, could create something like this. The SoulCard really turned out beautifully, and it’s a wonderful reminder of what’s important to me and why." – Anonymous
