What has been said

In all these years, participants in our learning program - now more than 300 - evaluate De Heerlijckyt as one of the success factors of our training. Organise it somewhere else and you have a less stimulating learning environment.

Stef SteyaertManaging director at WhoCares, Chairman at Socius

I met this beautiful place in 2012 and fell in love instantly. The peace, the beauty, the silence. And the people! Present, warm, attentive with the right balance between making contact and respecting the space we need as trainers to do our work. Even after all those years, whenever I arrive, my heart still makes a little leap of joy.'

Yannick LiermanInternational Senior Corporate Coach & Trainer

For our yearly retreat, the Zero Waste Europe team had a calmful and inspiring time at Heerlijckyt! Surrounded by serenity and nature, we all got to connect and celebrate our achievements in 2022. This was all possible thanks to the lovely staff, comfy rooms, equipped meeting rooms and delicious food.

Alexandra ClipaAdmin & Events Officer at Zero Waste Europe

The Heerlijckyt van Elsmeren offers the space that is so needed if you want to help people develop. Literally, with well-equipped, light-rich meeting spaces and a wide-open environment that gives space to nature and the elements. But also more fundamentally, by being an open place where everyone can feel welcome. The Heerlijckyt is not a venue, but a place with a soul. That's why we love coming there with ETION.
