In the meantime - OYNS For Men will be held by Robbin this coming winter.

A lighthearted gathering of men serious about leveling up
Warmly welcome to a lighthearted and transformational retreat where your body is your greatest teacher.
What's it really like to be you?
Strengthen your ability to feel at the level of bodily sensation, beyond - or, prior to - emotional labels and your old stories and intimately befriend your nervous system in its constant pendulation;
'Safe, unsafe, safe, unsafe, safe, unsafe, safe, unsafe..'
Experience an almost forgotten yet fundamental cornerstone in cultures and societies of all times: To gather as men and do the inner work that only becomes accessible in this setting.
Learn how to effectively increase awareness, enjoyment and even pleasure in the presence of any feeling.
Gently train your nervous system to handle more intensity and start to transform life's stressors into opportunities for strengthening and remembering a more original and pure You by going deeper into the felt sense of your body.
In a non-mystical way, experience firsthand how a safe nervous system unleashes the strength, joy, clarity, leadership and connection that your soul is hungry for!
Level up your relational skills and let your authenticity blossom and inspire yourself and those around you.
Become fully autonomous in a practical, effective and integrative breathwork meditation practice that brings bodily intelligence to a whole new level in your daily life and turns challenges into opportunities for growth .
Individual wisdom in the relational field
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 combined with detailed awareness on bodily feelings and a moment-to-moment attitude of total receptivity. Not only will you access your body and your subconscious intelligence at deeper and more subtle levels, but also be able to resolve and even feel pleasure in the presence of any feelings.
Increased body awareness and increased capacity to be OK with what you are feeling is simultaneously 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!
Indeed, in 'safety mode' you unlock your natural state of lightheartedness.
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.
The retreat is held by the knowledgeable, experienced, compassionate and playful facilitator Robbin van der Crussen.
