One Day Silence
The Offering

One offering. One day.

A grounded invitation into stillness. One Day Silence is the only thing I offer: a private, eight-hour day of silence, guided meditation, and sound healing, held wherever you can best let go, at your home, at my place in Rosmalen, or a quiet spot in nature. One guest, one guide, no group.

Eight hours. One person. One quiet intention: giving your head and body the room to settle.

It is not a workshop and not a retreat. There is no group to keep up with, no theory, no homework. The day has a clear structure, opening ritual, guided meditation, open silence, lunch, ninety minutes of sound healing, a silent walk, closing, and inside that structure everything is shaped around what your nervous system needs.

The shape of it
Duration8 hours, from 08:30 to about 17:00. Around seven of them in silence.
SettingOne-on-one, just you and Geert Jan. No group, ever.
InvestmentBy donation, no fixed price. After the day, you give what feels right and what your situation allows.
WhereThree options, whichever fits you: at your own home (I travel to you, anywhere in the Netherlands), at my place in Rosmalen (own train station, free parking), or a quiet spot in nature you rent yourself. Travel or rental is arranged per booking.
LanguageGuided in Dutch or English, whichever is yours.
IncludedPlant-based lunch, tea, the 90-minute sound healing, all materials, and a follow-up call within the week.

Who comes for a day like this?

Most guests are not looking for anything mystical. They are people with full agendas and loud heads: professionals close to overload, parents who have not heard themselves think in years, people in the middle of a decision, a loss, or a change of direction, and people recovering from burn-out who want one safe, structured day of real rest.

A growing group comes to land. People who sat in an intense ceremony elsewhere, plant medicine, breathwork, a sweat lodge, and days later still cannot give it a place: restless, up in their head, replaying it. And people coming out of a festival weekend who feel scattered and flat and cannot quite get back into their own life. For both, one held day without input is often exactly the missing piece, because it adds nothing new to process, it gives what already surfaced the room to settle. The journal has an honest long read on each: when the ceremony is over but your head is not, and landing after a festival.

One Day Silence is not therapy, coaching, or medical treatment, and I will never claim it cures anything. It is one well-held day without input, and that alone tends to do more than it sounds like.

Questions people often ask
Experience?None needed. Every meditation is guided, and silence is a state you are led into, not a skill you have to perform.
Stressed / ragged?Especially then. The day is paced so your nervous system can soften, no pressure to "meditate well". If you are under treatment, discuss it with your practitioner first.
To bringComfortable clothes in layers, a water bottle, a notebook if you want. I handle lunch, tea, and the rest. Phones rest in a basket at the door.
Talking allowed?Before the opening and after the closing, yes. In between we hold the silence, but there is always a way to reach me: a look, a note, a cup of tea.
CancellingFree to move up to 7 days before. After that, half the donation stays with me unless I can fill the day. Illness, we always find a way.
