🌟 A Unique Opportunity: Weekend Retreat with Swami Karma Karuna (NZ) at EcoVilla 🌟

We are delighted to announce a truly special event: for the very first time, we will be welcoming Swami Karma Karuna from New Zealand to Belgium!
Discover more about her inspiring journey below.

In the serene and natural setting of EcoVilla, Swami Karma Karuna will guide us through a transformative weekend immersion into yoga and self-discovery.

How can we strengthen and equip ourselves to thrive in a busy, sometimes overwhelming life?
How can we navigate intense emotions with wisdom?
How can ancient yoga techniques help us regulate our nervous system today?

Through a combination of accessible theory and practical exercises, you will be invited to reconnect with your strongest, most balanced self—developing exactly the qualities you need most in your life right now.

All sessions will be taught in English. Live translation into Dutch is available if needed.

With a full two-day program, this is far more than just a workshop—it's a unique opportunity to deepen your inner peace, layer by layer, and build lasting insights.

The peaceful, eco-conscious surroundings of EcoVilla in Essen, with its lush forest landscape and thoughtful design, provide the perfect backdrop for this journey inward.

We kondigen graag deze unieke kans aan. Voor het eerst mogen we Swami Karma Karuna (NZ) ontvangen in België. Meer info over haar vind je hieronder.

In de ideale setting van de EcoVilla zal zij met ons een avontuur aangaan van een weekend verdieping in yoga.
Hoe kunnen we onszelf versterker en wapenen tegen een rijkelijk gevuld en soms stressvol leven?
Hoe gaan we om met intense emoties?
Hoe kunnen we ons zenuwstelsel reguleren met technieken uit de eeuwenoude schatten van yoga theorie?

Aan de hand van theorie en oefeningen word je ondergedompeld in je sterkste en meest evenwichtige zelf, om die kanten van jezelf te leren ontwikkelen die je het hardste nodig hebt.

Swami Karma Karuna zal les geven in het Engels maar live vertaling is mogelijk.

Dankzij een volledig programma van twee dagen is het meer dan een korte dip of les en heb je de kans om met de rust en stilte in jezelf te verbinden en laag per laag dieper kennis en inzicht op te bouwen.

De EcoVilla in Essen vormt de ideale omgeving dankzij de bosrijke natuur omheen de villa en de integere eco-creatieve invulling van de plek.
