deep rest & inner listening
Next dates:

20 - 22 September 2024
Jura Neuchâtelois, Switzerland
2-DAYS TO SIMPLY BE.
Digital Detox.
No more inputs or processing.
Time out to pause and be quiet.
Let go of the busyness and taking care of others.
A little space to gain some perspective on life.
Tune in to what's important for you.
A soft place to land.
Silence. Meditation.
Breathing. Journaling. Restorative Yoga.
Peaceful Nature. Stunning views. Great food.
Space for the emergence of what nourishes your Soul
and uplifts your Spirit.
Return to Source.
Take a step back for a moment,
a sacred pause, let silence be your friend,
and let your Soul catch up with you.
This is an intimate small group experience, allowing you space to feel the support of community as you relax into being yourself.
Simplicity.
We put agendas, computers and phones away, and attune to stillness.
Slow pace.
We slow down, to rest and digest, to hear the sounds of Nature.
Present Moment.
Compassion and gentleness in the now, embracing the goodness that is.
Authenticity.
Nothing more. Nothing less. Welcoming authentic Being.
PLUG BACK IN TO YOUR SOURCE ...
When you are fully resourced life flows with more ease and joy.
Quality time for you.
A guided process to help you
rest, relax, and restore.
Fill up your own cup.
Supported by nature.
And the energy of the group.
Tap into the authentic joy of being alive.
What does your body say ?
WHAT WILL WE DO?
