A gift to last a lifetime

You want to experience something wonderful when you are on leave. You want an adventurous vacation . An active trip where you can really unwind. Where you can enjoy beautiful weather, lovely scenery, nature and sea. A trip where you discover a new power in yourself.

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a way to hold on to that vacation feeling long after you’re back home and at work?

A sailing vacation you will treasure for a long time to come

In our unique sailing trip we combine the principles of mindfulness, zen and neuropsychology with the principles of good ocean sailing. In this way we work on personal leadership in a playful way. The sea, the sailing, the beautiful harbors with local restaurants are combined with relaxed insights. While we set sail to the next beautiful island, we use the skills of ocean sailing as a metaphor to sail towards more happiness in your life.

In a busy life of long to-do lists and dead-lines, most people live from problem to solution . In the repetitive search for solutions to problems, the brain enters a kind of survival mode. A vacation gives only a short respite in that .

The good news is that the mind can be trained to live and work less in survival mode and more in rest and relaxation. It has been scientifically proven that the result is more successful living and working with less stress. This leads to better results and more satisfaction and peace of mind. And unlike the usual “vacation rest”, these are lasting results.

The course is given by Francisca and Premdeep. Francisca is an international Zen monk, mindfulness trainer and lawyer. And Premdeep a world sailor, adventurer and artist.

“What a wonderful time we had together with you. Thank you for the yoga, the meditation and the stories to help us further on our path. Thank you for all the fun together and for exploring and enjoying nature. Thank you for the conversations, laughing and living together. Thank you for the special moments with the wind in Yemaya’s sails.”

Fiona, Peter and Alison

“Our week spent on the Yemaya with these two unique people was one of the best in our lives. We still think back with nostalgia of the quiet moments, the conversations, the swimming, the food, and the wisdom and kindness. We would so love to sail around the world together with the fine Yemaya. Perhaps one day…”
