🌳 Venue:
Yūgen Forest is a regenerative retreat centre with the mission to have people reconnect to nature and allow both to flourish in harmony. Situated on the 52-hectare Roggebotstaete estate, this sanctuary offers a harmonious blend of nature, sustainability, and well-being. The name "Yūgen" reflects a deep appreciation for the subtle and mysterious aspects of the universe, aligning with the forest's ethos of connection and transformation.
There’s 10 eco-cabins and 2 glamping tents. You can choose whether you share your accommodation or not. The luxury cabins are little wooden cabins with 2 beds, either separate or together, and a mini wood stove. The glamping tents are slightly bigger and also equipped with 2 beds and cosy blankets, separate or together. ⁠There are private sanitation buildings with luxurious showers and toilets on the field.

🍅The food:
All meals are plant based and designed to nourish body and mind. The chefs at Yugen create vibrant and playful dishes for you using fresh and seasonal ingredients sourced directly from the estate's food forest, vegetable garden, and herb garden, as well as from local farmers. Each dish is made with love and is an integral part of the retreat experience, intertwined with nature, sustainability, and well-being.
If the weather permits it, we will enjoy a dinner under the stars in the “Boskamer”, a romantic outdoor eating venue tucked away in the forest complete with fairy lights and a wood fired oven.
