A paradisiacal island, in an oasis of peace, where you can come to yourself completely without all the stimuli of daily life. When I first came to Karimunjawa (January 2016), I immediately felt that Karimunjawa was the place for me to settle down and start the next chapter in my life. It makes me very happy when I see people slowing down, finding themselves, relaxing completely so the can get the glint back in their eyes… Alam Kita provides a place for people to reconnect with themselves.

Our Google reviews Alam Kita Retreat 4.9 Based on 78 reviews powered by G o o g l e review us on Eva vOM 2 years ago As brother and 3 sisters, we were able to experience the yoga retreat at Alam Kita, a 10-day heart and soul experience, attentively and lovingly guided and cared for by Margo and Astrid and the fantastic staff: Evi, One-one and Irwan . The massages, snorkeling, exploring the beautiful island by scooter and taxi, a jungle hike, the stay in the nice, comfortable bungalow, the delicious food and nature made our stay an unforgettable experience. Margo's advice and suggestions for our trip were also valuable and saved us time and searching. We hold Alam Kita and Karimunjawa in our hearts, the memories are dear to us and we can only say that everyone should wish Alam Kita for themselves. Eva Schneider 3 years ago Fantastic place, so beautiful and lovingly built by Margo and her team. One big warm bath that I immersed myself in for a week. A paradise to completely relax and enjoy the benefits of nature and the good vibe of Karimunjawa. Daily nice yoga was also possible in a beautiful space on the grounds, outside the retreats. Alam Kita: truly a discovery and hidden gem in Java. Thanks for all the good care! Däni 3 years ago We stayed at Alam Kita on Karimunjawa for 6 nights and had a wonderful time there. The complex is very quiet by the sea, is beautifully green, designed with great attention to detail and is carefully maintained. A long jetty leads to a platform on the sea, where you can jump straight into the deep water and relax in the sun. There are also many places to retreat in the shade on the complex. Our bungalow was very spacious and cozy, with an outdoor shower (including warm water), bed with mosquito net and a beautiful covered terrace with a wonderful view of the countryside. Breakfast was included and very tasty (selection of about 5-6 dishes), and you could register for the lunch/dinner buffet (also very tasty) if necessary. There are also small snacks and a good selection of drinks, water is free. Everything we needed was easily organized by Margo (taxis, ferry tickets, scooters, massage, hike, takeaway breakfast on the morning of departure and so on). Margo and her team are very kind and personable people who you simply have to like. It was made very easy for us to feel comfortable! Inez Smeets 3 years ago A beautiful place. At the beginning of November 2023, I attended a seven-day retreat, after which I extended my stay by a few days because I had such a great time at Alam Kita. Margo and the people around her are very sweet, special people who really made me feel at ease. The experiences during the retreat were also extremely valuable and I will keep them with me forever. The activities I did were very different from trekking through the jungle, snorkeling in magical blue water, to various meditations and yoga... plus many more surprises. I certainly hope to return here in the future. Evi Okta 3 years ago Annemiek Geijsel 3 years ago The individual retreat I experienced at Alam Kita is one I will never forget. So special and special!! I have experienced quite a few previous retreats, but I could not think of this in advance. And it turned out super fitting. First of all, Alam Kita is a beautiful place; you have your own nice wooden house (with outdoor shower👌), surrounded by non-stop jungle sounds and a view of the blue sea at the front. The mega jetty that reaches far into the sea is beautiful. You are so strongly connected to it nature. I was immediately captivated by the place. But during my stay, I was more and more captivated by the people who run Alam Kita and who also live/stay there themselves. Everyone so pure and authentic. Never before have I been so welcomed in a place with everything that presented itself. Without judgement. Just 'go with the flow', with your own, or using input/activity from there. Everything can be discussed, everything is ok and improvisation 'all over the place'. That is precisely what made the retreat so special for me and touched and moved me to the core. Very grateful for that!! I eventually extended the retreat to be able to stay in this wonderful place a little longer. A top place to visit for a few days, but especially for a retreat or to really experience the beauty of Karimunjawa or yourself for a longer period of time:-) Margot guides you through the retreat in her own clear way with both feet on the ground and humor! 💜💜💜 Ariel Diaz 3 years ago It is a charming place where you have pure contact with nature, Margo is an excellent host and they are always willing to help with anything that is needed. Here you disconnect from everything.

Sommige verliezen veranderen alles. Het verlies van een kind raakt niet alleen je hart. Het raakt je relatie, je gezin, je toekomstbeeld en soms zelfs je gevoel van identiteit. De wereld draait door, terwijl jullie wereld voorgoed veranderd is. Misschien herkennen jullie dit. Jullie houden van elkaar, maar rouwen op totaal verschillende manieren. Gesprekken die vroeger vanzelf gingen, zijn moeilijk geworden. De intimiteit is veranderd. Soms voel je je alleen in je verdriet, zelfs wanneer je samen bent. En misschien vragen jullie je af: hoe vinden we elkaar terug? Hoe leven we verder zonder ons kind? Hoe geven we betekenis aan een leven dat zo ingrijpend veranderd is? Deze retraite is ontstaan vanuit die vragen. Niet omdat er antwoorden zijn die het verlies kunnen wegnemen, maar omdat het mogelijk is om opnieuw verbinding te vinden. Met jezelf. Met elkaar. Met het leven. Dit is geen rouwretraite Deze retraite gaat niet over loslaten. Niet over het oplossen van verdriet. Niet over positief denken. Het verlies van jullie kind blijft onderdeel van jullie leven. Wat we samen onderzoeken is hoe liefde kan blijven bestaan naast verdriet. Hoe jullie als partners verbonden kunnen blijven, terwijl ieder van jullie zijn eigen weg door het verlies bewandelt. Hoe jullie samen verder kunnen, zonder afscheid te nemen van de liefde voor jullie kind. Een week van vertragen, delen en opnieuw verbinden Gedurende zeven dagen creëren we een veilige en liefdevolle omgeving waarin ruimte is voor jullie verhaal. We staan stil bij wie jullie waren vóór het verlies, wie jullie zijn geworden en hoe het verlies jullie relatie heeft beïnvloed. We onderzoeken verschillen in rouw, communicatie, behoeften en het verlangen naar verbinding. Er is ruimte voor gesprekken, reflectie, rituelen, natuur, stilte en betekenisgeving. Niet vanuit moeten, maar vanuit ontmoeten. Jezelf. Elkaar. En de liefde die blijft. Voor wie: Deze retraite is voor stellen van wie één of beide partners een kind hebben verloren en die willen investeren in zichzelf en in hun relatie. Of jullie het verlies samen hebben meegemaakt, of één van jullie een kind uit een eerdere relatie heeft verloren: het verlies leeft mee in de relatie die jullie vandaag samen hebben. Voor stellen die behoefte hebben aan herkenning, verbinding en open gesprekken. Die beter willen begrijpen wat verlies met henzelf én met de ander doet. En die willen onderzoeken hoe je samen verder kunt leven wanneer verdriet, liefde en verschillende behoeften naast elkaar bestaan. De retraite biedt ruimte voor meer begrip voor jezelf en je partner. Voor gesprekken die misschien lang moeilijk zijn geweest. Voor verdriet zonder dat het opgelost hoeft te worden. Voor het versterken of opnieuw vinden van verbinding. En voor de vraag hoe het kind dat gemist wordt een blijvende plek kan houden in jullie gezamenlijke leven. En misschien ontstaat er, heel voorzichtig, weer ruimte om samen naar de toekomst te kijken. Niet ondanks het verlies, maar mét het verlies. Waarom Alam Kita: Midden in de natuur van Karimunjawa ligt Alam Kita. Een plek waar de dagen vertragen. Waar de zee, de stilte en de natuur uitnodigen om even los te komen van de dagelijkse verantwoordelijkheden. Ver weg van alles wat moet. Dichtbij wat werkelijk belangrijk is. In een kleinschalige groep van vier tot zeven stellen ontstaat een veilige omgeving waarin herkenning, begrip en verbinding centraal staan. Begeleiding: Deze retraite wordt begeleid door Dennis Hooftman en Margo Niestadt. Dennis verloor samen met zijn vrouw Babs hun zoon Sam. Vanuit zijn eigen ervaring weet hij hoe diep verlies doorwerkt in een relatie, een gezin en het dagelijks leven. Margo begeleidt al jarenlang mensen in processen van verlies, persoonlijke ontwikkeling en transformatie. Met haar warme en intuïtieve benadering creëert zij een veilige ruimte waarin mensen zich gezien en gedragen voelen. Samen begeleiden zij deze bijzondere week waarin verdriet, liefde, verbinding en toekomst naast elkaar mogen bestaan.

A bond that can feel natural and effortless at times, and complicated at others, yet is always unique and irreplaceable. How often do you truly take time for each other, away from daily routines, phones, work, and responsibilities? Rediscover one another During the Mother and Daughter Retreat on the paradisiacal island of Karimunjawa, you step together into a world where time slows down and life becomes simple again. By the sea, surrounded by swaying palm trees and crystal-blue water, you will find the space to laugh, talk, heal, and reconnect on a deeper level. For nine days, you immerse yourselves in an experience filled with connection and relaxation. Mornings begin with gentle yoga or meditation, allowing you to arrive fully within yourself. Afterwards, there are workshops and playful exercises that help you see and hear each other in a new way. Sometimes you will work separately, to discover your own wishes and needs. At other times you come together again in duo-yoga, creative sessions, or intimate beach walks. And of course, the island’s magic: There is also plenty of room for joy and adventure. We snorkel among colorful fish, picnic on an uninhabited island, and dance under the stars. In between, there is time to relax with a massage, a heartfelt conversation, or simply to enjoy the beauty of nature together in silence. What awaits you: What makes this week so special is that it is not just about being together, but about truly meeting each other. You will get to know your mother or daughter in a new light, beyond everyday roles. You will discover how to support one another, how to grow together, and how your bond can become stronger, more playful, and more loving. At the end of the retreat, you take home more than memories. You return with a deeper connection. A feeling of safety, trust, and love that continues to resonate in daily life. The Mother and Daughter Retreat is an investment in your relationship and in yourself. A one-of-a-kind experience, in a place that truly feels like coming home.

URL: https://alam-kita.com/young-adults-no-more-xtc-needed-after-this-retreat/ SEO: Young adults: no more XTC needed after this retreat! - Alam Kita Young adults: no more XTC needed after this retreat! Are you between 18 and 25? And do you feel not quite at home in the world? Then this retreat from 2 – 8 November 2026 is for you. Price from € 995,- “The System” we all live in From the moment we’re born, we enter “the system.” The system everyone gets squeezed into—automatically, without even thinking about it. Your parents make sure of it, your family, your friends, the neighbors, the teachers at school, and later the instructors in your studies. Everything you learn in this system then seems “normal.” But more and more young people are becoming aware that they don’t want to be forced into this system—and that everything you’re taught isn’t as “normal” as it first appears. Quite rightly, many start to resist, with all the consequences that entails—and a lot of stress . Want to feel more at home in the world? This retreat is tailor-made for you. For these aware young people, we’ve created a customized retreat: a 7-day youth retreat where you work on yourself, individually or together with a friend. You’ll be guided by Margo, the owner of Alam Kita—a remarkable woman with lots of life experience and young at heart. Margo’s approach is always intuitive; she senses what is needed and what you need. Sometimes that’s a listening ear or a good conversation. Other times it might be an energy healing or a ceremony. She works from your inner-child issues, because that’s often where today’s blocks and limitations begin. Together, step by step and with daily guidance, you’ll break through those blocks so you can be freer—with all the positive effects that brings. You’ll also practice yoga and meditation exercises (no experience required). Do you ever ask yourself the following questions? What am I doing here? Why am I here? Why does this not feel right? It feels like I don’t belong here. Why is that? I feel different, and I want things to be different too. But how? I’m not happy, no matter how hard I try. How come? Then we warmly invite you to Indonesia. We’d love to help you rediscover yourself and feel at home in this world. And because we understand that many young people don’t have a lot to spend yet, we’ve adjusted the prices for this retreat. Price specification The price of € 995,- per person for 7 days/6 nights includes: 6 nights based on 2 people per bungalow* 7-day program with workshops, yoga, meditations, excursions, and more Morning Serenity and card reading Indonesian traditional massage or Access Consciousness® Bars treatment A week with coaching and accompaniment Snorkeling & Island Hopping tour Campfire and barbecue on a private beach Transport from the harbor/airport Breakfast, lunch, and dinner during the whole Retreat Unlimited water/tea/coffee** * If you want a private bungalow, the full price for the retreat will be €1244,- ** Soda’s, smoothies, or alcoholic beverages are not included but will be available at the bar Travel expenses to Karimunjawa are not included in the prices mentioned above and your booking is final after you received the receipt of your payment from Alam Kita.

A second big challenge is a tough hike to the highest point of Karimunjawa, together with a guide you work your way through the jungle to the top. The feeling of freedom that you will experience (not to mention the view) will enrich you!

Bring a tent and if you really have guts, just in the hammock under the starry sky. You can give yourself the above challenges on the island of Karimunjawa, one of the 28 islands of a beautiful archipelago in the middle of the Java Sea. Where you jump from your bed into the clear warm turquoise sea. Where you see the most beautiful sunsets and where you will feel happy, calm and peaceful. From the moment we are born we enter ‘the system’. The system that everyone is squeezed into. Automatically, without thinking about it. Your parents take care of that, your family, the teachers at school, the neighbors, the friends and later also the teachers of the studies. Everything you learn in this system you find “normal”. But, more and more young people are becoming aware that they do not want to be squeezed into this system! And that it’s actually not as normal as it seems at first. And will (rightly) resist. With all the consequences and a lot of stress. This retreat is tailor-made for you We have created a retreat for young people who are looking for a challenge to learn and grow in combination with adventure. A youth retreat of 8 days in which you get to work with each other and with yourself. You will be guided in this by Margo, a woman with a lot of life experience and young at heart. Margo’s working method is always intuitive, she feels what it takes and what you need. That can sometimes be a listening ear, or a good conversation. Other times it will be an energy healing, or a ceremony. Margo works from your ‘inner child issues’ because that is often the origin of all current blockages and obstacles. Margo will help you in a daily piece of guidance to break through those blockages so that you can be free again with all the (positive) consequences that entails. You also get yoga and meditation exercises (you don’t have to be able to do this in advance!). The invitation If you have the guts to go and meet yourself, come to Indonesia. We have adjusted the prices for you because we understand that the wallet is probably not that thick yet. But we think it’s so important to help because you are our future! You go to a place of power in the middle of nature, by the sea, at the foot of a mountain, where the jungle begins. The recently built 110 meter long jetty makes the sunsets even more beautiful, the swimming even nicer and the stargazing in the evening is magical.

Perhaps you recognize this: you feel that you’re not completely free. You’ve already done a lot of inner work, you’re conscious, you know your patterns. And yet… something still holds you back. It’s as if you’re looking through the bars at the life that’s calling you. You feel the pull of freedom, but you remain in the safe cage of old beliefs and survival mechanisms. It feels suffocating! But what if the door is already there? What if it’s not about working harder or healing more, but about daring to rise, pushing that door wide open, and flying? There is a part of you that longs to be free. • Free from always adapting, caring for others, people-pleasing, striving for perfection, and constantly pushing through. • Free from the feeling of being stuck in patterns, in routine, in a cage you didn’t even build yourself. BREAKOUT! “Feel the fear and do it anyway”! During this 10-day retreat on a magical island in Indonesia, we create the space to break through the cage. You will experience a breakthrough in those parts of yourself where you’re not yet free – the places where you folded your wings in order to fit in, to earn love, to preserve safety. Where have you ever folded your wings to belong? Here, you may spread them wide again. What to expect: • A warm welcome and introduction on the day of arrival • Morning yoga, both soft and strong, to awaken your body and let your energy flow • Daily 2-hour process sessions where we work through different themes, using: Internal Family Systems (IFS), dance and voice liberation, NLP, systemic constellations, Biodanza, (emotional) bodywork, visualization practices, inner child work. In the afternoons you are free to choose your own path: individual coaching, massage, hypnotherapy, Access Bars session, or simply enjoy the beach, snorkeling, hiking, and exploring the island. Evenings will unfold organically, with a full moon ceremony, rituals, dance, bonfire, HeartCollage, card readings, and a shared night at the local market where fishermen and their wives prepare fresh fish on the BBQ. This is your moment to break free from old patterns, to return to your own grounding, and to rediscover life in flow. Do you feel it’s time? Time to step out of your cage and let your free spirit soar again? Who will be by your side on this journey? We, Margo Niestadt and Monique van der Heijden , will guide you with care and love, holding a safe and nurturing space for you to spread your wings once more.

It is also possible that you have been in this grieving process for longer, and that it has been starting to feel familiar. No matter how fresh or familiar the grief may be; it still signifies an important loss of a loved one in your life. Your mind is processing this person’s departure from your life. This takes energy, and working with and on your emotions may be highly beneficial to you on this personal journey. You could do this by participating in this retreat “Space for Loss & Grief”, where there is space for your grief and memories. Through this retreat, you can shape your emotions by using the various creative resources that are available. Mariska : “It’s Sunday afternoon. Today the Space for Loss & Grief retreat starts. We sit with a small group at the table, ready to begin. Today is all about honoring the deceased in our lives.” Those resources may be making a collage, listening to music, drawing, writing, and working with natural materials. By using these creative outlets, you may also get more clarity about the current situation in your life. You are unique, and so is your grief. However, there are global similarities from which the various workshops for this retreat originated. From those fundamentals you will work out your own story in a creative way that is always good. Even if you think you’re not creative, you may be surprised! You will individually work on your own process in a group of other participants going through a similar experience. An art of living The way we deal with this grief during this retreat is creative and spiritual. In this way you give yourself insight(s) about your way of doing things and how you could change it. Liesbeth: “I now understand better how the losses in my life have shaped me into the person I am today. This even goes back to losses from generations before me, which influenced my upbringing.” We are happy to help give you the ‘space’ in this retreat, “Space for Loss & Grief’. Nothing passes more than nature and life itself. What do we do in this 9-days retreat? The guiding principle is a varied program with regular workshops, spiritual meetings in the Pendopo, yoga, and sufficient rest and space for delicious meals and time to fill in yourself. Alex: “From understanding how I’ve been shaped by loss, I see more clearly where I want to go. That’s how we moved from past to present and future during this retreat.” An ‘Alam Kita Silence’ day is scheduled approximately halfway through the retreat. By participating in this Silence Day, the goal is to try to be completely silent, without making eye contact, with your cell phone turned off, without reading. In short, no distractions. Full focus on you, your personal process, and the program. This applies to the entire 9-day where you can be guided through and where everything is taken care of. It would be nice if you bring one or more photos of the deceased person who travels with you in your mind. You will experience all of this in the middle of a natural environment with palm and banana trees, jungle sounds, perhaps a friendly Gecko greeting you from your Joglo’s ceiling (Javanese house) and the view over the Java Sea that is different every time. A magical place with a fantastic jetty from where you can go swimming in the wonderful welcoming warm water of the ocean.

Need a new beginning? Make a clean sweep? New Inspiration? Price is € 1.395,- for 10 days/9 nights For Alam Kita, everything in you is as a motivation to guide you in the steps necessary to live your ultimate desire. Nothing has to go, everything is already good, because it has made you the person you are now. We embrace everything what is old and new! December and January are magical months. For some this means warmth, togetherness, sharing and love, for others loneliness, withdrawal and sadness. It is usually a period of being conscious of all the movement of the past year. The difficult, challenging and painful moments, but also the success, joy and sparkle you have felt. Everything in our lives is subject to change and we as humans are constantly moving from one thing to another. We breathe into the NEW and let go of the OLD. And if sometimes blocks arise along the way, we put on our masks. With people, in situations, but especially through beliefs and habitual patterns. We forget to listen to our inner truth. However, there is always a new beginning, every moment. Fortunately! There are things you are happy and grateful for and things that are less enjoyable. We invite you to embrace all that is there and trust in that movement of change and that it is all just right as it is. We live in a world of opposites (duality). New Year’s intentions help you to manifest what makes you feel better. More aligned with yourself. Alam Kita invites you to make more room for those desires and to choose for quality of life. Practice the art of living and learn to distinguish what serves you and what no longer serves you. Themes that may play a role in your life are: Nutrition and eating patterns Relationship troubles Friendships Caring and and get rid of your burdens More quality in your life Stress-related complaints (Burn-out) Loss and grief Other career New love What are you still holding?
