Welcome to the Embodied Wholeness Retreat! Join us and open to the magic of the human experience; the beauty of authentic connection and the healing depth of integrating all our different parts into an integral whole!
We are all on a journey to wholeness. Wholeness is the experience of embracing and welcoming all of who we are in our own loving awareness. This means being loving and present to every aspect of ourselves, especially those parts that are hardest to love.
Through compassionate integration, we can more and more embody an unified sense of being as an experiential process of connecting to our deepest values, expressing them and living them in our choices.
This retreat will be dedicated to self-connection that supports authentic and meaningful ways of living and relating. Our authenticity is an expression of our freedom: being and acting from who we really are. It takes courage and awareness to express and live our core values in relationships, work and daily life. We will practice yoga, tantra, Living Compassion and emotional integration methods to cultivate deep connection and wholeness on all levels.
At the retreat we will experience:
Nonviolent Communication (NVC)
Living Compassion
Shadow work
Deep integrative emotional alchemy
Power of ritual
Circle work
Yoga & Meditation
Breath-work
Delicious vegetarian food
Sauna & nature
Ecstatic Dance
Nordic Midsummer Magic
Living Compassion - Emotional Integration
We will practice different ways to connect with our inner world in a compassionate way. Living Compassion is a Nonviolent Communication based work that empowers you to be your own guide. The foundation of this work is to bring loving presence to all of our parts, the shadows and unconscious aspects of our psyche, which we haven’t fully loved until now. In these sessions we start to embrace our emotional pain instead of avoiding it, and see it as an important guide that helps us reintegrate parts of ourselves that most need our loving attention.
Practices include deep self-compassion, empowering self-responsibility and tracing any experience, however difficult, back to our essence, from where all our emotions arise. These methods are grounded in full awareness and presence with all our bodily sensations, emotional energies, thoughts that arise and the underlying value of all of these. This unconditional and empathic space to experience all of ourselves brings us more and more into wholeness.
You are warmly welcome to join us for a week of loving presence, beauty of nature and authentic community.
