“Surrounded by
ancient medicine,
held by good
company”
About the inn
The Inn is a hub for presence and belonging. A symbol of the little village we all should have access to. A place where the normal yet profound things of life are experienced again, woven with medicinal and ancient wisdom.
This little Inn is not a hotel. It is a temporary home for max. six adults at a time. One comes here to create, rest or to be a creative or medicinal resident. People arrive to simply feel at home for a moment; to digest what has been or to create what wants to be born.
The Innkeeper is Karen Vuijsters – a Dutch sociologist, acupuncturist and ancient medicine practitioner. She will be there to warm the sauna, to offer food at the table or to guide you with ancient medicine if you want to.
Just come home for a bit.

Philosophy
Our founder Karen, started this place from a true manifesto. She believes that our modern world is running on an overstimulated and hyper-productive Yang current. As a sociologist, she sees how our collective structures have detached us from true connection; and as an acupuncturist and medicine woman, she feels how our bodies long for Yin lead and rest. We have forgotten how to simply be.
The Inn for the Soul is therefore a sanctuary where the most simple and basic needs of humanity are met, even though they are the hardest to realise nowadays. Such as belonging, connection, healing and slowing down through the elements. In this way Karen hopes to contribute to the health of people, our relations together, and mama earth.
The Inn will open its doors mid 2027.
