Embrace
A self-acceptance Retreat -
Embrace your belly, body, flaws, embrace yourself.
20th-24th Juli 2022 at Brunnenhaus
About the retreat
Too fat, too skinny, too big, too small. Too loud, too quiet and still not enough. We all know these doubts and issues. Our surrounding, society and sometimes even beloved people and of course ourselves drum it into our brains, bodies and systems. None of this is true though! You are right just the way you are!
This retreat is all about living in an honest, loving and radical self-acceptance. Together we create a joyous, playful and loving connection to our bodies. We relax our bellies, breathe deeply into them. We feel our physical strength and through this our inner power.. We massage each other and feel that each body is perfect and beautiful the way it is. We sweat all of these doubt and limiting believes out in the sauna. At the campfire we praise our own beautiful uniqueness.
What will we do?
We will move!
Discover your strength and flexibility (yes, you have both of it) with Yoga, Acro-Yoga, Dance, playful movement and Handstands (yes, you can do it!)
We will breathe!
Through our breath we can explore ourselves. Embody an relaxed state of mind and body. We can feel ourselves, let go, renew, and regulate our nervous system! Breath is THE tool to grow lovingly into a greater self-acceptance.
We will relax!
Find ease, enjoy some resting time. We will breathe together and discover its great impact on our ease. There will be magical Yin Yoga Sessions with live music by Alexia Moodloops, who will treat us with her beautiful voice and sounds. We will treat each other with a yummi Thai Massage. Also there will be a Sauna.
We will enjoy nature!
Brunnenhaus is located in stunning nature. There is a great landscape with forests and rivers, which want to be discovered.
We will connect, share, laugh and maybe also cry.
All together we will create a safe space for you to flow and grow. We will share our thoughts, needs and visions. Maybe there will be tears of release, of joy, or not. All feelings are welcome in this space. Come as you are, will all you have (yes, also the heavy stuff, maybe it will get lighter).
We will have 5 days in which you recharge your batteries fully!
