THE EXPERIENCE
Space to unfold
Profound experiences rooted in nature.
Nestled in a quiet Algarve valley, The Ground Floor offers individuals and couples time to slow down, connect, and intentionally explore what unfolds.
Within a private and discreet setting, each experience is carefully shaped around the people who arrive, with space for connection, exploration, reflection and simply being.
THE GROUND FLOOR
What shapes the experience
The Journey
Carefully curated multi-day experiences for individuals and couples, creating space to connect, explore and reflect. Each centres on a guided psychedelic journey, with thoughtful preparation and integration.
The Guidance
Personally guided by Karlijn, bringing together professional expertise, intuition and care, with a sensitive understanding of each person's needs, relational dynamics and natural rhythm.
The Stay
A quiet, private setting in Vale de Silves, nestled in an Algarve valley, where the house, the land, surrounding nature and the thoughtful care that shapes your stay are all part of the experience.
The land invites a different rhythm.
ABOUT
Karlijn
The Ground Floor grew out of Karlijn’s personal belief in the importance of creating a space where people feel at ease to slow down, connect and find what is already within them. What began in Amsterdam has found a new home in the quiet valley of Vale de Silves.
Over the years, Karlijn has developed an integrative approach, shaped by extensive training and experience in body-oriented practices, human psychology and the exploration of consciousness. Her work brings these different perspectives together, guided by a deep respect for each person’s individual process.
“I believe we all carry within us a natural capacity for healing and transformation. By creating the right conditions, we give each person the space to find their own way.”
