Magic of Life
Life is there, waiting for us to embrace it, but we are too distracted or consider it a threat, becoming victims of circumstances!
We live on survival in a noisy world and in a noisy head. We seek connections at all costs that do not nourish us deeply. Our own words become a distraction since they are rooted in subconscious reactions, like little stories that had been repeated so many times that they became true.
A deep connection to nature is an opportunity to reset and rediscover our original nature. We will start the retreat by connecting to the medicine of nature around us. We will make a sacred ghee together and prepare a medicine using plants that resonate with us at that time.
Then we will dive into strict silence. Silence offers a mirror, first to our busy inner dialogue, and then, with time and more stability, to something much deeper.
This retreat aims at
- Take a break from social medias and explore silence.
- Connect to a deep ressource: nature.
- Nature as medicine: preparation of a special medicine.
- Deep meditative practice.
- Fire rituals to find your inner rhythm.
- Silent walk in nature (day & night).
- Conscious eating.
This retreat combines
- Soma & Kundalini Yoga to reset our nervous system and be able to embrace the richness and depth of silence.
- Ayurveda & nature as a source fo healing.
- Conscious walks in the mountain to readjust our rhythm.
- Somatic touch to connect at a deeper level to our body and instinctive intelligence.
- Fire rituals to reconnect to the cosmic cycles.
- Deep meditations in specific places in the nature & prayer with the elements.
- Sattvic diet to refine your perceptions.
We will limit our communication to the minimum at the beginning of the retreat. Phone, tablets and computers will be taken away.
Day 3-4-5 we will be in strict silence to optimise your contemplative mind.
On day 5, we will start to talk again in the afternoon, but you will only get back your devices on the last day. We will have a special sattvic diet during the retreat. This diet will be light and adapted to the transition summer/autumn.
