Summary

Connect with nature, its elements, and your true nature. Return from thinking to feeling. From your head to your body. Over five days, we will work with the elements—through the building blocks of yoga, meditation, and pranayama—and take time for ourselves to find peace and inner balance and to recharge our strength and energy.

We will practice Qigong and experience the power and potential of our breath (transformative breathwork) to let go of the old and activate our life energy. On our fasting and silent day, we will cleanse our bodies and minds, releasing physical, mental, and emotional baggage to align ourselves with the new.

This retreat offers the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of the elements and their influence on our lives and to learn techniques that you can also integrate into your everyday life. We invite you on a transformative journey to discover the power of the five elements so that you can return to your everyday life with new energy and clarity.
