Douwe van den Berg / The Cool Way

I am at a loss for words to adequately describe the trip. The incredibly beautiful location, the remoteness and the insanely great team with and around Douwe and Josefine have made the trip again an unforgettable experience. It was now the 2 time that I was with Douwe and team on the summit of Mrs. Snezka and it will not be the last time. It is not over yet!

Douwe ist Wim Hof Instruktor, Movement Teacher und Breath Coach und unterrichtet mit viel Enthusiasmus in einer spielerischen, neugierigen Art.Vor 3 Jahren habe ich mich das erste Mal für eine Wim-Hof Reise bei Josephine und Douwe angemeldet. Es war ein unvergessliches Erlebnis. Ich hatte die längere Reise mit Aufstieg auf die Schneekoppe in Shorts gebucht, ohne mir wirklich Gedanken zu machen, was das bedeutet. Je nach Wetter ist der Aufstieg eine kleine oder größere Challenge, bei der ich mich durch die professionelle Begleitung von Josephine & Douwe jederzeit sicher gefühlt habe. Zusätzlich begleitet wird der Aufstieg durch einen Mountainguide, der als Fotograf das Erlebnis auch in Bildern festhält.Nach der Reise folgten zwei weitere und die nächste ist bereits geplant. Jedes Mal ist etwas anders, jedes Mal ein unvergessliches Erlebnis, eine Woche mit unglaublich netten Menschen.Douwe hat ein unglaubliches Talent, Menschen zu bestärken, ihre Kraft zu erkennen und bringt dich dazu, über deine selbstgesteckten Grenzen hinauszuwachsen.Man lernt seine Komfortzone zu verlassen und auch in unkomfortablen Situationen zu entspannen. Mit nach Hause nimmt man innere Stärke, einen Funken, der auch Dinge im Leben zuhause verändern kann.--------------------------------------------Douwe is a Wim Hof Instructor, Movement Teacher and Breath Coach and teaches with a lot of enthusiasm in a playful, curious way.I first signed up for a Wim Hof journey with Josephine and Douwe 3 years ago. It was an unforgettable experience. I had booked the longer trip with a climb up mount śnieżka in shorts without really thinking about what that meant. Depending on the weather, the ascent is a small or bigger challenge, during which I felt safe at all times due to the professional guidance of Josephine & Douwe. In addition, the ascent is accompanied by a mountain guide who, as a photographer, also captures the experience in pictures.After the trip followed two more and the next one is already planned. Each time is something different, each time an unforgettable experience, a week with incredibly nice people.Douwe has an amazing talent for empowering people, realizing their power, and gets you to grow beyond your self-imposed limits.You learn to leave your comfort zone and relax even in uncomfortable situations.You take home inner strength, a spark that can also change things in your life at home.

Thanks Douwe for an amazing Wim Hof experience! Thus must be repeated. Looking forward.

Everything has its reason! And that was exactly the motto and at the same time the motivation that led me to Douwe and Josephine and my first trip to Poland in February 2023. Thank you to the universe and thank you to everyone who was there and made the journey into the cold and to my personal limits unforgettable. I have been able to open a whole new room in my museum and it is just filling up with great moments, emotions and memories.The trip was perfectly organized from start to finish and Douwe, Josephine and the whole team did a terrific job. The planning, preparation and execution left nothing to be desired. The days in the group and in the cold were entertaining and intense and it was definitely not the last trip with them into the wonderful cold of this breath taking landscape.

Douwe is just such a beautiful human being and a great teacher! He is funny and friendly, always with a smile on his face and can make you feel calm and strong. I can highly recommend him
