Welcome to our 6 day-5 night retreat in the beautiful and secluded Norwegian forest. This retreat is an experiential opportunity to rest, relax and go a little deeper towards yourself:  body, heart, mind and inner life.   Together, we will explore meditative and creative practices for embodiment, grounding, centering and well-being.

​

We will work with various aspects of EMBODIMENT & CREATIVE EXPRESSION practices including yogaSOMATICS movement, myofascial (bindevev) unwinding, breathwork, creative expression and understanding through drawing (art therapy), following the messages of your dreams, practices to connect to your heart and awaken empathy, inner exercises for the energy body, meditative sitting practice throughout the weekend.

​

ENJOY THE SILENCE

While not a strictly silent retreat, throughout the weekend  we will invite the group to enjoy longer periods of silence and reflection.    

Our week will include:

• yogaSOMATICS practice for grounding and well-being in the body

• Mindfulness, meditation & energy work  in contact with nature

• Creative Expression through Drawing and Reflecting - Communication with your Inner Self (Art Therapy)

• Dreamwork - Understanding the deeper meaning of your dreams

• Deep Relaxation & Guided Relaxation

• Gentle hands-on healing practices with a partner for relaxation

• Possible yogaSOMATICS work in warm water - IF we are able to organize the pool to be warm enough.

​

This retreat is practice-oriented for going deeper towards yourself.

​

We will practice cultivating a non-judgmental and accepting awareness of thoughts, feelings, senses and body sensations that arise from moment to moment. From this more relaxed and current state of being, we can begin to meet other people in a more open and empathetic way.

​

This is a week for yourself, inner contact and the opportunity for new insights.

​

FOR WHO: This workshop is open to all adults who are curious and open about exploring life energy and being present with life-as-it-is. 

Beginners will appreciate the ease and new sensations of well-being of this practice.  Advanced practitioners and teachers of all kinds of yoga, movement and dance will appreciate a new perspective and being supported by a very experienced teacher in new discoveries. This retreat is also very well suited for couples who wish to spend a weekend of deeper contact together in a meditative practice.
