A place where people, nature and ideas flourish.
When you create the right conditions, space for growth emerges.
Landgoed De Meerberg emerged from a simple conviction: when you create the right conditions, space for growth arises. Growth of people. Growth of ideas. Growth of health. Growth of nature.
That is why we are not only building a special location, but a living estate where peace, meeting and development naturally come together. A place where you can take a distance from the daily hustle and bustle and feel again what is truly important.
At De Meerberg, entrepreneurs, coaches, trainers, healthcare professionals, organizations and individuals meet each other. Each brings their own knowledge, experience and talent. Precisely those encounters ensure new insights, unexpected collaborations and valuable cross-pollination.
Nature is our greatest source of inspiration. In the permaculture vegetable garden, the shiitake nursery, the food forest and the biodiversity, we see every day that sustainable growth starts with attention, balance and patience. We believe that the same applies to people.
Huib Ouwerling
Host of the estate
Creating space in which people can grow.
"I don't believe people need to be repaired. I believe people flourish when the environment is right."
After a career within Defense, Justice, closed youth care and international security, Huib discovered that real change rarely arises by working harder or solving problems. The greatest development occurs when people feel safe, can slow down and reconnect with themselves and their environment.
From that conviction, he is developing Landgoed De Meerberg as a place where nature, health and encounter come together.
His passion lies in creating circumstances in which people can experience, discover and grow. Not from theory alone, but precisely by doing. By being outside. By working together. By feeling again what is important.
You see that vision reflected in everything that arises on the estate. From the permaculture vegetable garden and the shiitake nursery to trainings, coaching sessions, inspiration days and encounters between professionals who strengthen each other.
He creates peace, monitors the whole and sees and creates possibilities where others mainly experience obstacles.
"When the environment is right, growth follows naturally."
