For more than 30 years, Angélique Verdel has supported people as a therapist, teacher, and creative guide. Drawing on psychotherapy training as a licensed Holistic Practitioner, bioenergetic therapy, and creative body-based work, she connects conventional therapeutic knowledge with intuitive, holistic, and spiritual approaches.
Alongside her therapeutic practice, Angélique is also a trained actress and singer. Over decades of working with breath, voice, emotion, movement, and the psyche, she has helped people understand and gently release inner blocks — not through force, but through awareness, expression, and embodied experience. Her work as a drama and singing teacher also showed her how creativity can reveal where energy is held and where authentic potential begins to emerge.
This inspired her to deepen her therapeutic studies and integrate methods that speak to both the analytical and intuitive dimensions of a person — mind and body, structure and intuition, left and right brain. Her passion is to guide people back to their unique gifts, talents, and direction in life.
Angélique believes that every person is fundamentally unique, and that the world becomes richer, more colorful, and more connected when people live and express their true nature. This retreat is where all of her paths come together.
Set on a powerful volcanic island in the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by nature, sea, and silence, she has created a space where creativity, mindfulness, therapy, and nature blend into one holistic experience. Here, she brings together everything she loves: creativity, movement, voice, stillness, nature, and deep human connection — supporting participants in returning to themselves in an authentic and grounded way.
Born in the Netherlands, Angélique lived and worked in Germany and Portugal for many years, and now leads her retreats in English, German, and Dutch.
