Family constellations and Meditation retreat, Corfu.
Would you like to experience a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that is both nourishing and deeply transformative?
You are wholeheartedly invited to join us for a 5-day Family Constellations and Meditation Retreat on the stunning island of Corfu. We have a beautiful venue with space for only 12 participants and we trust the field will bring the right people together for an unforgettable experience.
Do you feel the call?
What to expect:
The setting will be relaxed, authentic and open. With plenty of time to be on your own and follow your own schedule. We always prioritize self care and all activities are optional and can be joined or left at any moment. People easily use words like transformative or life changing but the depth of work that we do here actually is just that.
Here you will:
Clear blocks and unresolved pain from your past to be able to fully embody here and now presence.
Deepen your roots to your family of origin and ancestral lineage (say goodbye to floaty spirituality and actually ground and embody all aspects of the human experience).
Have a beautiful and heightened experience of the island. The work that we do will open your senses and connect you to the primal force that is life or nature. You will experience the island and its nature in a profound way and feel deeply alive.
Create beautiful connections. The work we do is authentic and without masks. No need to pretend here, just come as you are and meet each other on a deeper level. It will happen naturally through the work that we do, so don't worry to much about it.
Have plenty of time for relaxation and integration, you can use the private salt water swimming pool, hike amongst the olive trees in the are or go to the amazing beach of agios georgios and swim in the ocean.
“The days were enriching, well-organized, and very thoughtfully guided. The constellations were perfectly attuned to the needs of the group, and the location was beautiful and inspiring. The schedule felt balanced — not too long, with enough small constellations to really be in process yourself. Thank you for the clear guidance and supportive container, Merijn!”
“Merijn creates a space where you can simply be yourself.
The work is deep and intense, yet playful, light, and easygoing.

Intention
Each person can bring their own question, theme, or intention to the retreat. This could be anything—from exploring your life purpose, relationships, money, or health, to simply following a calling without a specific focus. At the beginning of the retreat, we set our intentions, and the field works in a way that weaves everyone’s questions into one organic movement.
This is the true power of the Family Constellation method: it allows you to see the root causes of challenges and opens the way for healing and transformation. Your intention can also shift during the retreat, as deeper layers naturally arise. There is no fixed outcome; we simply follow the natural flow and movement that unfolds in the moment.
Whether you come with a clear intention or simply remain open to what is needed, the process will meet you exactly where you are.
Family Constellations
Family Constellations is a deeply transformative healing modality. It is gentle, yet at the same time direct and powerful. In each session, the whole group becomes part of the process, and everyone benefits in their own way.
During the retreat, everyone will have the chance to bring a personal question into the field. Together we set it up and allow the movement of healing to unfold. Often it touches layers of your life and family history that are not easily reached through regular forms of therapy, including patterns and burdens carried for generations.
It is a beautiful and moving experience that meets you exactly where you are, showing you what you are ready to see and transform in this moment. In that sense, it is gentle — never giving more than you can hold. At the same time, it is deeply regulating and connecting. After the retreat, you will feel more attuned to life and nature, as we work with the primal force that flows through life itself. Family Constellations are sometimes called the “shamanism of the West”: healing happens on a soul level, while the way it is performed feels accessible and natural for the Western temperament. Unlike traditional shamanic practices, which require deep knowledge of their roots and history, this approach is something Westerners can engage with directly and intuitively.
While it may sound a bit mystical, the work is very real and grounded. The insights, the movement, and the changes cannot really be explained but are clearly experienced. Merijn brings a modern, intuitive approach that goes beyond traditional setups, yet remains deeply connected to archetypes and soul-level movements. The deeper intention is always to guide you into harmony with your deeper calling in life and to release stored pain and burdens.
Meditation
Meditation is the cornerstone of the retreat. It deepens and integrates the constellation sessions, while also supporting the recognition of ever-present awareness, grounding, and embodiment. The meditations will be both guided and silent, accompanied by reflection and gentle discussion on non-duality. Non-duality is not something to explain — it points to the interconnectedness of all that is and is meant to be experienced. In this retreat, that experience can arise naturally through the practice and the atmosphere we create together.
Meet the team
Merijn Boulogne (Veld van Waarheid) is the organiser and main facilitator of this retreat. He is a father, family constellations facilitator, trainer, and above all a human being who is constantly exploring and in motion. After a long personal journey in spirituality, self-inquiry, and meditation, he came into contact with family constellations in 2016. He was immediately fascinated, and that fascination has never faded. Since then, he has supported thousands of people through this work and currently leads the Family Constellations and Systemic Entrepreneurship Training in the Netherlands, now in its tenth edition.
What makes his approach unique is the relaxed, equal, and present atmosphere. Beyond rigid methods and strict frameworks, a shared field emerges in each session, creating a unique dynamic that serves everyone involved. Participants describe his work as expert, authentic, equal, playful, and intuitive.
Merijn is also a meditation and yoga teacher. He is based in the Netherlands, where he runs intensives, retreats, and facilitator trainings throughout the year. He usually doesn’t work outside the Netherlands because he has a son and doesn’t want to fly often. However, he has a special connection with the island of Corfu, and recently had a dream — literally — to host a retreat there. The vision wouldn’t leave him, and he decided to follow it. And here we are.
Merijn will be supported by Amber (Shiatsu therapist and Family Constellator) and Marijn (Cook and Family Constellator). They are two warm-hearted, experienced spaceholders who help hold the field and make sure everything flows smoothly. They’ll be there if you need a hand, a chat, or some extra support, and they will also join the program themselves, so you’ll get to share the experience with them. Marijn will take care of our delicious meals, while Amber will lead the morning practices and bring her magic as a DJ to create a beautiful, uplifting atmosphere.
