ABOUT THE RETREAT

This retreat is about the body, mind and soul. And how everything is connected and overlaps in the flow of things. It is inspired by traditional body practices, somatic approaches, cosmic inspirations, boundless joy of creativity and cosmological activism.

Together we let the body speak and write poetry in the truest sense of the word. We connect with nature and so with ourselves. We listen. We feel. We let ourselves drift. Everything is already there. We’ve just forgotten to listen. This retreat is aimed at all people who want to stand in their full power: mentally, physically, spiritually and psychologically. And who enjoy experimentation, adventure and community. Because that’s what it takes to strengthen our body as a social body.
