Transformational Retreat
In the past 10 years I’ve transformed from a professional hockey player, to a nomadic motorbiker/cyclist/surfer, to a full time lecturer into a solo sailor. After two years of solo-sailing, I'm currently a part-time public speaker/trainer in the Netherlands and part-time live aboard and coach in the Canary Islands. All these transformations helped a great deal in my path towards personal growth where I discovered more about myself, my desired life and my purpose.
And that’s something I wish for you to.

Living the (digital) Nomadic Liveaboard Lifestyle
There are certain questions regarding my nomadic/live aboard lifestyle that almost everyone seems to be curious about. How do you afford your nomadic lifestyle? How much it cost to own and live on a sailboat in the Canary Islands? But I also got many questions regarding how to balance a nomadic life between family, friends, partner and work that is meaningful (to me). Therefore, I created an extended workshop that will give you great insights and a good start if you one day want to live a free, nomadic/liveaboard life.
What's included?
All that’s included in the Transformational Retreat, including an extended workshop regarding;
-
How to live a nomadic lifestyle with purpose, meaning and a reasonable income
-
How to own a sailing vessel (in a sunny place) that won’t break the bank

How to become an offshore (solo) sailor
Plus;
-
A detailed summary of the coaching sessions including a personal plan regarding your nomadic/liveaboard aspirations.

"This retreat gave me a good direction of how I want to live my life. I also wasn’t aware of certain patterns and limiting beliefs that stopped me from living my full potential. During the transformational coaching sessions Nadiem helped me to become more aware and break certain old patterns and limiting beliefs. And since Nadiem also focuses his retreat on a healthy lifestyle, by the end of the week I felt more balanced and stronger. I suddenly realised how big the impact of diet has been on my overall wellbeing. I also appreciated Nadiem’s motivation during the retreat and it helped that he has quite some life-experience for his age. Now I’m looking forward to using the lessons I learned in my daily life back-home!"

"After a turbulent 2023, with the start of 2024 it was about time to work on myself. I have been to many group retreats before and I noticed that there I was more focused on others than on myself. When I contacted Nadiem, it immediately felt warm and welcoming. I also think that there are not that many people that have accomplished the things he did at his age. Only at the beginning of the retreat, I had to get used to Nadiem’s healthy, vegetarian diet. But quite soon I started to feel the positive effects. Also the coaching sessions inside the sailing vessel have been very helpful. He used several techniques to get rid of certain bad habits I have been having for years. And I’m also glad that we created a detailed plan on how to implement the changes in my new lifestyle when I'm back. Thanks a lot Nadiem for your guidance and motivation, I finally feel I'm ready to change."

An Example of your Day
You wake up in the sun and start your day with some morning yoga (1), followed by a surf or transformational coaching session (2). Then it's time for some healthy lunch (3), some chilling on deck (4) and then you can go for an afternoon hike or mountain bike ride and watch the sunset from the many sandy, stunning beaches (5) that the island has to offer.

" I stayed some days on S.V. Mara and had a few transformational coaching sessions to get closer to my goals. I like that Nadiem uses different coaching techniques that he is combining with his own experiences. Having the sessions on a sailboat is an experience and allows you to look at things from a new and different perspective! My stay on S.V. Mara reaffirmed me in getting out there and sail the world - and that‘s what I‘m currently doing! "
Suzanne van der Veek (founder Ocean Nomads Community)
Nadiem is the example of living the ‘dream it, do it’ mentality. From zero experience in sailing, he learned to sail the seas solo in 3 months! Starting out by crewing on ocean nomads vessels, to buying his own boat and sailing the ocean. He has been an inspiration and support for many Ocean Nomads community members. And it’s exciting to see him creating opportunities for others to learn from his experience. So many others may get the courage and tools to realize the dreams! I’ve been on his beautiful vessel Mara for ocean nomads meet-ups and sleeping and what a lovely home! Simple, sweet, and 'gezellig' as we say in Dutch. Waking up on a sailboat close to nature remains a priceless, unique and cozy experience.
Yves van Veen (founder Boost your Flow)
"I’ve known Nadiem for over 15 years and what I like is that he has chosen to walk a different path from an early age. Despite all the criticism. I know personally that it’s not easy to step away from the status quo. But I do believe that this is sometimes necessary if you want to stay true to yourself. Also, over the years Nadiem inspired me to make different choices and it’s great to see that he’s helping others now as well with their path."
Why Solo?
Over the years, I've learned the most from my solo journeys. Especially while sailing solo on the Atlantic Ocean. I’ve experienced that when I spend time with myself, I find out more about who I am and what I want. And when I’m by myself, I feel completely free to decide what I truly want to do, I don’t have to consider anyone’s opinion, and I also don’t have to live up to anyone’s expectations.
