Ode to existence
July 11-16, Peloponnese
Ode to Existence is an invitation to come back home, back to the core of ourselves, to the space of letting go and healing. Greece has always been a very welcoming and nurturing land. The climate, the landscapes, the history, the food and the people bring altogether a sense of coming back home, in the roots of our civilization. Summer is the best period to live all day long outside, and in this retreat we use the elements of nature together with the intense heat to bring the body back in tune to its natural rhythm, to detox completely and to awaken the dormant fire energy that we all have inside. The energy that helps us transform our state of mind and burn away all those layers that do not allow us to evolve.
During this retreat you will...
-
Get in tune with nature
-
Disconnect from everything
-
Dive into the essence of your existence
-
Discover ancient rituals and explore their potency
-
Relax completely and rejuvenate
-
Connect with each other to get a taste of Oneness
-
Sleep under the stars, eat Mediterranean food and enjoy the sea
-
Recharge all your layers of existence
Mother Nature
In this retreat, we invite you to gather outdoors, close to Mother Nature. All practices and activities will be held under the trees and the blue sky and we will nest close to the ground in tipi tents. Modern times have taken us far from sleeping on the ground, living mainly indoors and far from the earth, the trees and the birds. Nowadays we rediscover the therapeutic effect of nature immersions through activities such as forest baths and walking barefoot on the earth which help us discharge tension and electrical activity of the body, literally grounding ourselves. Living outside reminds us that we are part of nature, one with the trees, the sky, the moon, the sun and the earth. We offer ourselves the gift to be fully embraced by nature and infused by her healing frequencies. It was a great gift last year! Everyone came with some hesitation about the tents, a slight discomfort of sharing a tent with someone else and of outdoor showers and toilets. It took us 1 day to let go of those barriers of the mind and fully embrace the singing of the birds, the sound of the wind fleeting among the branches of the trees, the loud crickets and the sea waves.
