The essence of ancient practices including breath, sound, movement and relating applied to the individual and collective challenges of the modern world.

You will learn an integrative circular breathing method that, combined with detailed awareness, gives you access to your body at deeper and more subtle levels.

Increased body awareness and increased capacity to be OK with what you are feeling is a powerful path to lower your baseline level of stress and a root cause solution to heal trauma, expand consciousness and increase health and vitality in every cell of your organism.

It may sound banal but to fundamentally feel more at peace in your own body lets every cell in your body go from survival mode to growth mode, shifting your whole experience of being you; boosting your capacity to be open and receptive to the world around you so you can more fully and freely express, connect and enjoy this life!

The retreat is held by the knowledgeable, experienced, compassionate and playful facilitator Robbin van der Crussen.

Present moment body awareness in connection.

Everyday we explore the relational field, in pairs, small groups or collectively. We bring increased body awareness and increased curiosity and receptivity of what it's like to be in connection, moment to moment.

As opposed to coming with tips, assumptions and intellectual reflections and concepts, we reveal the present moment impact we have on each other; continually being curious of how our experience subtly shifts.

Our nervous system's perception of safety in connection increases dramatically and as we feel seen and heard like never before, we start accessing our unique wisdom and the life force within us spontaneously starts self-organizing towards greater health and vitality.

Every day starts with a morning practice, consisting of concentration, movement, breathing and relaxation to prepare your mind, body and spirit for the main work of the day, which is an in-depth breathwork session.

The main session includes a lesson explaining the underlying concepts, practical techniques, physiological and philosophical aspects of the practice empowering you to easily implement the practice when you come back home.

In the afternoons we dance, play, write, sing, share and relate to integrate and deepen our understanding and experience of the healing power of breath and body awareness, and connect more deeply with the group as a whole.

   WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH   

A WORD OF NOTICE

This is an intense and in-depth retreat. It is open to all and does not require any previous experience with breathwork.

Nevertheless it requires your willingness and openness to face new and unknown aspects of yourself.

You are expected to join the whole program, as it is built up with a natural progression from session to session, and as the dynamics and feeling of safety within the group depends on the full commitment of all participants.

You are expected to strictly adhere to silent hours (20.00-10.00) as this is an important aspect of the individual and collective process.

If you have experienced severe trauma, or are suffering from any serious psychiatric condition, let's schedule a call and look into whether this retreat is suitable and beneficial for you.
