Yugen Forest

Yūgen Forest is a magical outdoor venue in the new nature of Flevoland. You can come here for events, retreats, and training where well-being and connection with nature are at the forefront.

Yūgen Forest is located on the estate and test garden Roggebotstaete in Dronten. This nature area of 52 hectares with its swaying, herb-rich meadows and beautiful vistas is surrounded by forests and water. A place where guests can fully experience the connection with each other and with nature. A place of wonder, connection, and awareness. 

The Roggebotstaete estate is maintained regeneratively by us, where we aim to increase biodiversity as much as possible. In addition to our beautiful locations, you will find here, among other things, a bee garden, a food forest, an herb garden, our permaculture vegetable garden, lots of birds, deer, bees, and smaller creatures, and finally, cattle and forest pigs. 

Our dream and mission is to show that it can truly be different; regeneration is at the forefront of both our business structure and our programs and partnerships. For us, regeneration means leaving the world more beautiful than we found it. Restoring, instead of conquering.
