Leave everything
behind for an
afternoon.

At BummerSheep, we believe in the power of connection. Since
opening our doors in Ermelo in 2020, we’ve been a refuge for those
in need of a listening ear, a caring heart, or simply a quiet place to just
be. In 2023, we moved to the countryside and transformed our
garage into a cozy haven where people can escape for an afternoon
and find comfort in knowing they’re not alone.

The world feels heavier these days, with rising numbers of people
facing depression, burnout, loneliness, addictions, toxic patterns and
other mental health and emotional struggles. BummerSheep was
created to offer a break from that heaviness—a place to breathe, to
share, and to feel understood.

BUMMERSHEEP IN THE NEWS

We all need a
listening ear!

Many of us were raised to believe that asking for help about mental
health was a big no-no and seen as a sign of weakness or failure. We
were often told to "tough it out," "keep our feelings to ourselves," or
"be strong," as if struggling internally was something to be ashamed
of. However, this belief couldn't be further from the truth!

In reality, seeking support for mental health is one of the most
courageous and empowering steps you can take. It demonstrates
self-awareness, resilience, and a willingness to grow and heal. Just
like visiting a doctor for a physical illness or injury, reaching out for
mental health support is a vital part of taking care of yourself. It
shows that you value your well-being and understand that no one
should have to face their challenges alone.

By asking for help, you're also breaking down the stigma that has
surrounded mental health for far too long.
