Listening to Your Inner Compass

Yoga, Dharma & Aspiration — A Journey Inward

With Jantien Hadders & Barbara van Dortmond
13.00 – 16.30 | €45

Saturday 28 March 2026

In this immersive afternoon workshop, you are invited to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with what truly guides you. Through a gentle combination of yin yoga, meditation, silence, reflective writing, and practical philosophy, we explore dharma, aspiration, and santosha — not as abstract ideas, but as living principles that can support your daily life and choices.

No prior experience with yoga, meditation, or philosophy is needed. Everything is offered in an accessible, grounded, and open way.

What You Will Gain

• Greater clarity about your inner values and life direction

• Personal insight into what dharma and aspiration mean for you

• Experience of how stillness, yin yoga, and silence support honest self-inquiry

• Space for reflection without pressure to fix or change anything

• Written reflections and insights to return to in daily life

What to Expect

• A 3.5-hour immersive workshop

• Yin yoga, guided meditation, silence, and practical philosophy

• Time for meditative writing and reflection

• A calm, safe space centered on curiosity and openness

• A 30-minute break with tea and snacks

Workshop Structure

Part 1 — Connecting with Your Dharma
Through yin yoga, meditation, and reflective writing, we explore:

• What gives your life direction and meaning

• Dharma as more than personal goals — including responsibility and courage

• How to relate more honestly to your own life path

This part is inspired by reflections from Eindelijk Verdwaald, exploring dharma as lived, embodied, and deeply human.

Part 2 — Creating Space for Your Aspirations
This second part focuses on integration and embodiment. We explore:

• How aspiration and contentment (santosha) can coexist

• The balance between discipline, patience, and self-kindness

• How to create space for what truly matters, with mildness and humor

Teachers

• Barbara van Dortmond — Yin yoga & meditation teacher

• Jantien Hadders — Yoga teacher & author of Eindelijk Verdwaald

Optional

Participants can purchase Eindelijk Verdwaald by Jantien Hadders for a reduced price of €17,50 (retail €24,95). The book (in Dutch) explores themes of getting lost, finding direction, and trusting your own path. Reading along is optional.

What to Bring

Comfortable clothing, a notebook, and a pen.

A Personal Note

This workshop grew out of a natural connection and shared curiosity. Jantien’s love for philosophy and lived experience meets Barbara’s grounding guidance through yin yoga and meditation. Our intention is not to provide answers, but to create a space where you can slow down, listen inward, and gently explore what guides you — in your body, your choices, and your life.

With warmth,
Barbara & Jantien
