ABOUT THE RETREAT

Program

This Spring retreat is an invitation to take a break from your daily routines and to go deeper inward. The theme Bloom is about nurturing yourself, connecting with nature and the element of earth. Its motion is centering, and its energy is stabilising.

During the retreat there will be yoga, meditation & breathwork in the mornings and in the evenings (yang & yin). In the late afternoon there will be the possibility to join workshops to dive deeper into the theme. During your downtime you can prepare for nature walks, reading and long baths to restore the body. The food that is offered will be vegetarian and vegan based, and will be support the intention of the week. Foods that will help you root and ground.

All participants will be offered a 60-minute nurturing earth-themed massage, as part of the retreat by a massage therapist.

About the element Earth

The Earth element is associated with our Root Chakra. This is located at the base of our spine and is the chakra that relates to our feelings of safety and security. When it’s in balance we have a strong sense of belonging. We know who we are, and know our place within our group or tribe, as an individual – allowing us to move into our full potential and to bloom.

The aim for the whole week is to use the castle and the woods around it as to recharge. All lessons and workshops are optional, nothing is mandatory.
