Who are these rebels that are hosting this Anti-Retreat you might ask yourself?!

hi! We are Jobbe & Caro

You might have spotted us dancing at Sparkle & Dance or at the morning raves at Happy Startup Summercamp . Perhaps you’ve seen us working at events, creating art, or crafting visual reminders. Maybe one of us designed a book, logo, or website for you over the past two decades.
We are multi-talented creatives with a deep love for music, dancing, and dressing up. Our passion lies in creating liminal spaces, places where transformation happens and curiosity thrives.
We are rebellious thinkers who don’t offer solutions but create opportunities for discovery and growth.
We show up in life as Illuminators, asking questions that spark clarity and invite new perspectives.
Jobbe: The Playful Punk
Jobbe lives by the belief that activism can take many forms. From tying himself to trees with GroenFront! back in the days, to now creating opportunities for change within communities, his rebellion is rooted in transformation and connection.
When Jobbe walks into a room, his infectious energy has a way of getting others to move — both physically and mentally. His sharp insights bring clarity to even the most complex situations. And this proves that change doesn’t just happen at protests — it also thrives in the spaces we share and the ideas we cultivate.
Jobbe’s rebellion is one of collaboration and making it happen.
Caro: The Sparkly Rebel
Caro lives by the mantra: Why can’t adults play too? Whether it’s wearing a sparkly purple Christmas sweater year-round or embracing rest and relaxation as a counterbalance to the relentless “harder, better, faster, stronger” culture.
With a cheeky grin and well-timed wordplay, Caro proves that life is best lived on your own terms — with a wink and a nod to the absurdity of it all. Her unapologetic attitude invites others to join the rebellion and live life as they wish, to take good care of yourself so you can take care of others.
Caro’s rebellion is one of joy, sparkle and authenticity.
Together, we are here to question, to provoke, and to playfully rebel against the ordinary.
Join us for a weekend that’s anything but conventional!
