Through our years of experience in the supervision and design of trainings and meetings, we know better than anyone how important a training location is for the effectiveness and depth of a training. The right location contributes to the focus of your participants, and invites you as a trainer to be creative in the program through the possibilities a location has to offer. So that your training gets the impact you envision.

Training at a special training location

The location exclusively at the disposal of you and your team

The Land of Now has become a popular training location for facilitators and trainers from all over the world. For trainers and facilitators, we are a welcoming place where you can feel at home and fully focus on guiding your group, and you can be confident that everything you wanted to arrange is taken care of. Because no other groups are present during your stay, the location is exclusively at the disposal of you and your participants. Together with our enthusiastic team, we will ensure an inspiring experience for you and your participants.

On the first floor of the retreat center, there is a large attractive training room with professional sound system and equipped with all meeting facilities. The room can be arranged as you wish, to suit your training activity. We have a setup for every idea. Whether you want the room furnished with tables and chairs, empty for physical or creative activities, or with, for example, yoga equipment for a more physical activity, the possibilities are endless.

The lounge, conservatory and restaurant also offer plenty of space to work in separate groups or to enjoy during a break time.

Training location in nature

Our sustainable meeting location is located in the middle of the tranquility and vastness of the authentic Groningen countryside near the city of Groningen. Here you can still hear the grass grow and watch magnificent starry skies. Our unique outdoor location can make a valuable contribution to creative processes.

In our park-like garden you can wander around, relax or dive into the outdoor sauna. Here on “the Veen,” as the Veenweg residents say, you regularly see unusual scenes. Turkeys making an outing, a hare coming to neighbor or a deer shooting by in the early morning. From the location you can walk with vast horizons and the wind in your hair. A short distance away is the beautiful Schildmeer and the Roegwoldt.

Respect for nature is a matter of course for us and we are inspired to new possibilities every time.

Ervaringen

Our guests come from all corners

“I’ve trained in almost every gym in the Netherlands during my long ‘career,’ but this is still my favorite place to work out.”

‘Thank you for providing a great day, and my compliments to the cook. All the elements of this day were top notch.’

‘Everything was really thought of. Thanks, we would love to come back.’

‘Can I also just come over for an evening meal? What flavors!

‘We have been coming here for years and every time you manage to surprise us again. By now it also feels a bit like a second home.’

Great how you think along in terms of possibilities every time. And great how everything together just ‘fits’ here.

‘I know, I say it every time, but what a wonderful place this is. And a wonderful training room.’
