Personal experiences

“The magic of this wilderness trail was in its simplicity, stillness, and the beautiful energy of Bergplaas nature. It was a journey that brought profound clarity and life-changing transformation as I experienced a deep connection with the “unplugged version” of myself and essence of life. Thank you, Karin and Welmoed, for holding the space in such light. So that everything could enfold. So muchlove and ease. You want more of that, not ego stuff. This experience is beyond words and concepts.” – Kristin

More reviews

“I have just returned from my trail with ClearWater in Bergplaas. I return feeling grounded. It has been a spiritual journey of sorts. There has been a lot of silence and quiet and plenty of time devoted to contemplation and introspection. Each of us were on our own unique journeys that somehow, miraculously, united as they ebbed and flowed. Karin and Welmoed were able to create a gentle space of safety and vulnerability, prodding without prying. You could share, or you could keep your thoughts private. Everything was respected. The nature, its expanse, its remoteness, its beauty only served to enhance the whole experience. A very specialand unique environment that shared its wisdom on our journey. I would recommend this trail highly as a leadership program. Afterall, to lead others, you must know yourself.” – Shana

“It is hard to catch the Bergplaas ClearWatertrail in words, but if you ever have the opportunity, please GO! I went in open and curious, but also a bit nervous as I didn’t exactly know what to expect. I can only say that the trail exceeded my expectations big time, and it feels like a door that I didn’t know existed has been opened. The door leads to a whole different way of consciously living my life and feeling the invitation to continue creating the beautiful experiences in relation to those around me, from my family and friends to work.” – Maite

“The wilderness trail I went on with Clearwater was, without doubt, one of the most valuable and deeply personal experiences I have had in my life. From the very first contact, there was an immediate ‘click’; the program felt carefully and thoughtfully structured, and it was immediately clear to me that this was what I had been looking for, for years. After a years-long search at various leading international institutes and universities, based on my profile, aspirations, and the executive programs I had previously participated in. It became clear to me once again that authentic leadership and ‘being’ in daily life begins with self-knowledge and inner clarity. This trail has given me ‘exactly that’. I can wholeheartedly recommend ClearWater, or rather the ‘ClearWater method’, to every ‘Executive’ who longs for profound self-knowledge, personal professionalism in leadership from the heart, and an ‘authentic existence’. This journey touches, transforms, and creates magic!” – Martin (full story)
