Our program is designed for people who think that they are stuck in their daily lives, and for people who - for a shorter or longer period - need to re-assess and reorientate their lives . Many people speak of feeling stressed or burnt-out by the reality of modern life. Many people also spend a lot of time doing things that lack meaning and fulfillment. 

Also for people who want to reenter society after a period of having been ill for a long time. Also for young adults who seem to miss the connection with our society can become motivated to choose a direction for their lives.

Developed by Vlierhof staff with a therapeutic background, the time-out program will offer a supportive and nurturing environment to help people to reconnect with their own sense of inner-security and power,  while also re-focusing on positive goals and activities.

Day Program.

During an intake, we look at how many days/week you want to be on Vlierhof. Together with the person who accompanies you on Vlierhof, we find out what you want to achieve during your stay. We start and end the day together. Interaction between the participants is important.

Together, we find out were you prefer to work during that day. There are several options.

For example, in the morning you may:

• Work in the vegetable and/or herb garden
• Do general outside work
• Work in construction or maintenance
• Assist in the kitchen
• Chop wood for our wood-fired heating

The afternoon is more geared to personal growth. We have an art studio where you can paint, mould with clay, make monoprints, carve soap stone, etc. At regular intervals, you may have an individual session with a therapist or coach.

Residential program.

The above program is also offered to people who stay with us day and night. With this program there are regular activities in the evening.
