- Meditative drum journey as a special source of inner connection and insight - Mindfulness rituals for pausing and finding peace CONTENTS - IN DETAIL With the RECONNECT YOURSELF retreat, you will strengthen yourself and sharpen your inner compass:

You gain a few days' distance from everyday life and really take time for yourself. You clear your head and really unwind. In the depths of meditation, you center yourself and experience inner peace. You take this experience home with you. As an inner source of strength and an anchor for challenging times.
Mindful deceleration and consciously perceived silence are an effective counterbalance to the speed of everyday life. This is how you bring yourself back into balance. You experience special meditations and (nature) exercises. This gives you valuable impulses and new perspectives on yourself and your issues.

Start the second half of the year with clarity and strength: you examine which projects are still in harmony with yourself and your resources. You sense what really matters to you and recognize what your direction is for the rest of the year. You strengthen your confidence in yourself and your path. For powerful decisions and clear inner focus in the coming months. Through consciously spent time in nature, you will feel grounded and connected to yourself and to the cyclical rhythms of the year. Rituals created together make the impressions from your meditation and time in nature tangible. They bring your intuitive insights to the fore.
