Catherine's story: ready for love

Catherine came to The Magic Garden to work on herself, so that she could be ready for deep, healthy and fulfilling love. For six years she flew from Belgium to a retreat with us, once a year. In January 2025 she sent us a video greeting with big news.

Catherine and her fiancé: he kisses her on the cheek, she smiles, and the engagement ring shows on her hand.

A pattern she wanted to leave behind

Catherine had been in a series of unhealthy relationships. She had become aware of her own patterns: the conditioning from her childhood, her youth and her adult life that she could see repeating itself in every new relationship.

Understanding the patterns was not enough for her. She wanted to work with them, and give her inner life a thorough spring-clean.

A retreat every year

From 2019 Catherine came back to the Roundhall every year. The change came step by step: it gradually unfolded in her life.

A greeting from Catherine

In January 2025 Catherine told us that she had found true love, and that the two of them had just got engaged. With her little video she wanted to thank us for the inner work she had been able to do with us.

Greatest of all is love. A huge congratulations, Catherine!Ecaterina and Jacob
