"When the waves crash over me, I dive down to find shells. "
-Masha Kaleko-
Holistic island retreat with yoga & qi gong, art therapy, meditation, singing, dancing and sweat lodge ceremony.
In this retreat we combine yoga and embodiment with art therapy, a shamanic sweat lodge ceremony and singing and sharing circles. We use the power of the elements in this retreat and follow the Shamanic Medicine Wheel.
Day 1: Air, Day 2: Fire, Day 3: Water, Day 4: Earth
We also pamper our bodies with exclusively organic super food from our own permaculture garden and from a friendly organic farm nearby.
Selected detox teas and smoothies are available throughout the day to rid us of everyday pollutants and provide our bodies with new energy.
We limit ourselves to two easily digestible, vegan main meals and avoid coffee and sugar.
In this retreat, we want to give you the opportunity to reconnect and exchange with your body and soul.
This is particularly successful if we avoid stimulating substances and allow ourselves some time out and cleansing.
- Enjoy the tranquillity of the island and the morning yoga,
be inspired by the colors and sounds of the sea...
Find space for your dreams, wishes and inner images in the studio and in nature and deepen your experiences of the day in the evening meditation with sound, voice and dance and reconnect with nature and your innermost being.
The sauna, sweat lodge and hot tub right by the sea offer you an unforgettable experience of nature.
Shamanic sweat lodge ceremony:
The sweat lodge as a cleansing and renewal ritual for health on all levels. It grounds, centers and leads you to your center, connecting you with your inner nature. After a period of preparation, we enter the sweat lodge dressed in a cotton cloth. Stones heated in the fire are placed in a hole in the middle of the hut and water is poured over them. The ritual consists of four rounds. Each one represents a season and the element assigned to it. We give thanks, ask, let go and become empty in order to receive something new. Refreshed and regenerated, we return to everyday life as if reborn. We cleanse ourselves on a physical level by sweating (temperatures and climate similar to a steam sauna) and on a mental and emotional level by feeling, expressing and sharing feelings and desires. On a spiritual level, this ritual allows us to consciously reconnect with the nature around us and open ourselves up to being one with everything. Traditionally, the sweat lodge is compared to the birth mother of Pacha Mama, Mother Earth, and this symbolism invites us to feel at one again, natural and absolutely right and safe. The end of the ceremony, when everyone individually and carefully leaves the sweat lodge, is seen by traditional cultures (North American and Central American tradition) as a new birth.
Use this special time for your inner strength and your visions!
