Accommodations – De schuilplaats van God

Accommondations

The house is located in a beautiful spot in the south of Spain, in Andalusia. It is situated in the midst of olive groves in the hills. A dirt road leads up to the house. The house is intended for anyone seeking a place to rest and receive spiritual healing. We have noticed that there are few options available for people who work on the front lines. For them, we want to offer this place. At the same time, other (spiritual) brothers and sisters are also welcome who are looking for a place to find rest and healing. This could be for a burnout situation, but also simply to be encouraged and strengthened.

You can come here alone, or with your partner or family. There is plenty of nature in the area for you to relax, walk, or mountain bike. Around the house, there are plenty of spots where you can enjoy the sun. There is also a nearby river with a lovely bench to enjoy the sound of flowing water. From June to September, there is even a swimming pool at the house to cool off.

Meals are prepared together, and we eat together. You are welcome to use your talents during cooking, clearing, or cleaning. This way, we keep the house neat together, just like in a home. If you prefer to be outside, you are also welcome to help maintain the garden. This is how we live together in and around the house.

Are you looking for a place for a discipleship weekend, a retreat weekend for a team of elders, debriefing, conversations, or counseling? This location is ideal for that!

What are the possibilities?

In addition to the peace of nature and the conversations that often arise between guests and the host couple in the house, it is also possible to receive professional support. This can take the form of debriefing, contextual therapy, or art therapy, available in Dutch, English, Spanish, and French.

For this, we collaborate with Hanneke Knol (contextual therapist), Nelleke Slot (art therapist), and InToMission, an organization specialized in debriefing.

Would you like to speak with one of the specialists or InToMission during your stay or learn more about the available options? Please let us know when making your reservation, and we will connect you directly with the appropriate specialist to discuss the possibilities.

Hanneke Knol

During your stay at El Refugio de Dios, you have the opportunity to receive guidance for the life process you are in. I live in Seville, Spain, and have over 10 years of experience in counseling as a coach, marriage counselor, contextual therapist, and missionary. My faith and following Jesus are my greatest passion and motivation. It is a privilege to walk alongside people, helping them find motivation and direction, as well as healing and restoration.

InToMission

During debriefing, you take time to reflect on past events. It is a moment to look back and unpack your emotional backpack. Debriefing helps you process experiences, allowing you to bring closure to a certain period or event and lay it at the cross, so you can move forward with renewed strength.

Nelleke Slot

Nelleke is an art therapist. In art therapy, you work with creative materials such as clay and paint. The creative process helps you give shape to your thoughts and emotions. This therapy is not so much about the final result but more about the process itself. Your inner world expresses itself—both consciously and unconsciously—through the materials, and I help you recognize, process, or find a place for deeply buried emotions and thought processes.

Would you like to receive coaching in a group setting and also learn from others? We also organize debriefing weeks for missionaries and recovery weeks for men. Read below to find out more about what is planned.
