​This week invites us to identify and undo the habits that keep us living at a large distance from ourselves and others. Through guided meditations, experiential inquiries, compassionate community, and modern Western psychology on attachment relations and interpersonal neurobiology, we uncover what is already profoundly okay within each of us and re-awaken our capacity to experience more fulfilling and embodied connections with each other and the world at large. Daily movement practices (for all levels) will support our deeper integration.

During our free time, we can unwind habitual tensions in the pristine presence of surrounding nature, enjoy Blue Spirit’s white-sanded beach, swim in the Ocean or saltwater infinity pool and be nourished by Blue Spirit’s deliciously nutritious cuisine. There is also the option to book individual bodywork sessions and treatments at the Longevity Center at Blue Spirit.

IMPORTANT: The nature of this retreat is mainly contemplative. If you are not ready to observe silence for parts of this week – in order to lessen the distractions that prevent us from befriending ourselves – this retreat is not a good fit for you.

Part of the team supporting this retreat week are:
Catrin Kihlborg https://www.catrinkihlborgterapi.com/offers
and Suma Bouchardon, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner
