What to expect from this Retreat? 

​

This is NOT just another Yoga Retreat.

With every retreat I create, I like to bring along tools for self-discovery, personal development and self-transformation.

​

This retreat is an invitation to everyone wanting to liberate themselves from routine, work pressure or simply want to have the chance to deepen the connection with themselves. We all feel the pressure of obligations in life and often we don't have time to put in the self work we all need. As a result, we are often feeling disconnected, exhausted and with little or no direction to go in life, even though we feel unhappy with our current situation.

During this retreat we will be exploring Yoga classes, meditation, journalling exercises and breathwork in order to deepen self-awareness  and connection with who we really are. Also another great way to do this is through the awakening of our inner compass, or what we commonly call our intuition. Creative processes are a great way to do that, in that way our painting and pottery workshops are much more than just a fun activity to do, but guided in a way that takes us closer to ourselves. During the ecstatic dance, we have the chance to encompass movement and intuition into one, with the rhythm of music that moves us from inside out we are invited to explore our own form of expression. All of this in a idyllic setting of our 14th century old ruins. And least but not last, a guided deep relaxation  by the live sounds of percussion and didgeridoo in our night "trip to the jungle".

This retreat promises to be a real journey within yourself, through the exploration of creativity, breath and movement.

​

Creative expression is the ability to use our minds and imaginations to create something that represents ourselves. There are countless ways to express ourselves creatively, whether through music, visual art, crafting, writing, photography, drama, or movement. People of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life benefit from the creative process. Creativity helps us relate to each other, address obstacles and challenges in our lives, and even remember how to play! As adults we become so serious and focused on our obligations and duties. It can be difficult to authentically express who we are, but creative expression helps us open to new possibilities.

​

Most importantly, creative expression can lead us to a deeper understanding of ourselves. Creative expression is, “the language that lives in the heart and the spirit. It’s the language that emerges when you find the safety to really listen to your heart.”  - Cathy Salser, Founder and Executive Director of A Window Between Worlds

This retreat is for you if...

​

• You're going to yoga or taking other forms of self care but apart from feeling healthy in your body and a little more zen after your yoga or run, your mind is a clutter of a thousand thoughts and you have this constant feeling like there’s something else missing.

​

• You're making the effort to squeeze a yoga practice or a run in your daily life because you know it’s good for you, but it feels like a mission to even make this happen and you have this feeling that you're having to constantly rush.

​

• You're doing things that everyone expects you to, like being a good mother or having a secure job, but the truth is you're not feeling100% happy and sometimes you feel guilty about it because you can’t even point out the reason for it.

​

• Your job keeps demanding more and more, extra hours, more commitment, and because you care about what you do and you want to be the best you have a hard time setting boundaries and it's draining the life out of you. Perhaps you don't even love your job and you wish you could have the courage to do something else that you actually love.

​

• You're going through a tough transition because you lost an important person in your life, whether that was the end of a relationship or the loss of someone close, and this deep grief makes you feel constantly sad and heavy, it feels like you have lost the ability to enjoy yourself.

​

• You're often faced by a version of yourself that you don't even recognise, like getting snappy, or falling into a victim pattern, or emotionally blocking others, and you can recognise these are traits you don't like about yourself, but you don't know how to break free from it.

​

• You feel overwhelmed with your emotions, always either too sensitive or too angry, like an emotional rollercoaster, you can’t seem to be able to find a more balanced way to process your feelings and you end up letting them take over control.

​

It's time you said goodbye to this old version of yourself and reconnect with the woman who has clarity about her next steps. This woman is so aligned she knows when to end cycles or start new projects, she doesn't let the fear take over control. This woman loves her life, she wakes up and she feels vibrant and happy even if her day is lined up with meetings and responsibilities. This woman knows exactly what to do to unclutter her mind and make space for the things she loves, she can respectfully set boundaries, she knows how to process and calibrate her emotions, she can open up to having deep meaningful conversations with her partner or friends and she lives fully, passionately and excited about the life she built for herself, every single day!
