What do we do during the retreat?
Yin Yoga
By staying 5 minutes in postures you will work deep in your muscles tissue. This ensures that you get rid of accumulated toxins, emotional patterns, and thoughts. This gives you deep relaxation and will balance you physically and emotionally.
Being Surrounded By Water
The retreat is surrounded by lakes. Water represents JOY according to Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine teaches that one of the functions of water within the body is to move emotions and metabolic waste. When the body needs more liquid to flush out toxins, it will draw water from the bones, muscles and the brain. 85% of our brain tissue is water. So drinking and swimming in clean natural water supports your physical and emotional process during the retreat.
Walking meditation
By going outside and walk consciously you will get in touch of the negative ionic charge found in nature. Not only this will shift your negative emotions, it will make you see things more clearly. So, enjoying the breathtaking surroundings of the retreat will support your inner process and gives you a great sense of relief.
Food
During the retreat you eat inspired, medicinal food that will make your system sing, relax and detox. You do not eat meat, dairy, bread and sugar and do not drink coffee. All products are of biological quality. Detoxing is not the same as fasting. The meals are buffet style and there is plenty of food, if you need a lot or extra energy.
Sleeping more than 8 hours
Treat yourself during the whole stay as a patient. When complex emotions starts to build momentum, it can feel like a snowball of yuck getting stronger and stronger. If this is the case, and you just can’t see even a glimmer of light, the next best step is to go sleeping. This is important because every time we sleep you give the emotional body a big reset. So, enough sleep during the retreat is crucial.
