YOUR HOST & GUIDE
JOREN DE BRUIN
Is a personal freedom coach, perception changer, occasional rebel and adventurer. He is co-founder of Into the Wild Within.
Former player at professional soccer club in Holland, psychology background and crazy about personal development, self empowered living and an advocate for self healing. After a severe injury 14 years to his lower back, Joren dove into the world of breathwork, cold exposure and focussed attention after meeting and learning from Wim Hof before he rose to fame. With no more solutions from the conventional ways of western medicine, he figured out how to best work with his body and mind, and healed himself within 2 weeks after being in pain for 1,5 years. He subsequently spent four years supporting Hof in his early work and trained under him, before carving his own path with a more holistic approach to personal freedom, healing and self empowerment. He has worked as a private coach, retreat leader and speaker since 2012 and has been fortunate to inspire and empower thousands of people.

Testimonials
“Challenging, delightful, life-changing, inspiring, enlivening, soul-nourishing, magical.
I have brought home a renewed sense of connection with my body and with nature. I retain a sense that I am enough, of freedom from self-doubt and self-recrimination. The feeling of connection with the tribe is still strong.”
— Alyssa, USA
“Certainly a life changing experience. Great leaders, the participants became a tribe very quickly, beautiful locations, perfect accommodation. The programme was full of adventures and deep experiences. And at the same time there were enough resources to nurture my energy - enough sleep, very good food, yoga, sound therapy and breathing exercises.
Joren and Elena made me fully trust the process, even if it sometimes was hard for me as a beginner to overcome some of the challenges, in the deepest of my heart I felt that they know what they are doing. I was able to overcome different fears and beliefs. I felt safe and free to dive in it deeply. I am so happy to have been part of this expedition. The memories will stay with me forever.”
— Lucia, Slovakia
“Transformational. I will live the rest of my life with a cornerstone memory of this journey that changed my life forever... Honestly it’s too much and I’m too nostalgic to recite everything. But Joren and Elena have provided me with undeniable proof of my strength within, and with the tools to remain calm, composed and self-compassionate through times of stress which I have mindlessly suffered from for years to come!”
— Basil, Jordan
“This was an incredibly powerful experience, Joren and Elena are a great team and have an innate ability to tap into an emotional connection immediately. Their intuition is deep and helps push the group without breaking it.”
— Kara, USA
“Amazing experience! I feel a much deeper connection to my inner self.
The activities chosen were thoughtful. Based on the group, the weather and the timing. It's as if Joren and Elena were constantly reading the room and giving the group the best possible day available.
Anyone and everyone would get something out of this retreat! Whether you know what you're searching for or not, this experience opens your heart wide open and prepares you for taking the next steps in your life.”
