Your host, Desiree

We are Desiree and Raymond Bruins Slot and we would like to welcome you to our beautiful country for (spiritual) camping or to attend a beautiful retreat. I, Desiree, was previously in Finland on an exchange and also visiting a good friend. Raymond was undoubtedly a Viking in a previous life and so we went to Finland together in November 2021. Wild plans were hatched in the sauna with a good friend, and in no time we had bought a house. Not on a lake.... but the house felt good and was right, and so did the half hectare of land.
A few weeks later we were sitting in the hot tub with the same good friend discussing what we could do here in Finland. While we were dreaming there, a white swallow flew over. How special, because that is unique (they occur one in 18,000 times). Spiritually, the swallow brings peace and harmony and the go with the flow energy. When it is white it also represents a new beginning. That was striking... a new beginning...

Tips
