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.

“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.”
