STILL | Winter retreat

Over dit evenement

Up for a calm, soft, silent and soothing integration this winter?

Ready to go inwards even more and take time to restore and recharge?

Looking to ground into nature, warmth, community and your body?

In this tranquil, soothing, and nourishing journey of STILL, we embark on an integrative experience.

We surrender the chatter of the mind to a deeper silence, exploring deeper layers within ourselves. The retreat will be held mostly in silence, with spacious invitations for gentle expression through creativity, touch, and community.
Practices are few, simple and deepening - exploring concepts of surrender and letting go, nervous system resets, darkness, death, sounds and healing nourishment through food, ritual and nature.

You will find spaciousness in time to do nothing, soak in the swimming pool or sauna, and be lovingly held by nature, food, and togetherness. You will experience what truly matters to you and feel restored, grounded and deeply connected.

YOU WILL
- Soften into deeper states of stillness within yourself.
- Restore your system through presence, community, and gentle touch.
- Be held in subtle rituals to integrate what’s been left unprocessed.
- Recharge in silence, nature and the elements and lavish in food creations
- Meet the themes of death, endings, and darkness as humble teachers - transforming fear into clarity going forward and subtle vitality.
- Embrace the art of completion with grace - in relationships, identity, and life.
- Deepen your capacity to rest in the fullness of this present moment.
- Melt into gratitude, softness, and quiet joy of being alive.

TESTIMONIALS
"My insights were that it feels very empty when something passes away; I realised that it won't help me if I linger in mourning; I was made to live and enjoy it."- Pablo

“What I received was surprisingly gentle and soft. Looking back on the ups and downs of our lives, and finding out what is truly important.”- Margot Brouwer
