O  Y  N  S

"The retreat is a very beautifully composed journey, where all parts aim at the same goal: Help everyone to land and arrive more into their bodies, calm the nervous system and thereby expand and open up the realm of feelings and emotions."

- Elias

Warmly welcome to a lighthearted and transformational retreat where your body is your greatest teacher.

 

What's it really like to be you?

 

Strengthen your ability to feel at the level of bodily sensation and intimately befriend your nervous system in its constant pendulation;

'Safe, unsafe, safe, unsafe, safe, unsafe, safe, unsafe..'

 

Learn how to effectively increase awareness, enjoyment and even pleasure in the presence of any feeling.

 

Gently train your nervous system to handle more intensity and start to transform life's challenges into opportunities for strengthening and remembering a more original and pure YOU by going deeper into the felt sense of your body.

 

In a non-mystical way, experience firsthand how a safe nervous system unleashes the strength, authenticity, joy, clarity, leadership and connection that your soul is hungry for!

 

Become fully autonomous in a practical, effective and integrative breathwork meditation practice that brings bodily intelligence to a whole new level in your daily life.

 

Gently change your inner environment and watch the world around you radically transform!

In a natural, safe, supportive and playful environment this retreat is a potent opportunity to - at your own pace - step up and take responsibility and control of your physical, mental and emotional health.

 

The essence of ancient practices including breath, sound, movement and relating applied to the individual and collective challenges of the modern world.

 

You will learn an integrative circular breathing method that, combined with trained awareness, gives you access to your body at deeper and more subtle levels.

Increased body awareness and increased capacity to be OK with what you are feeling is a powerful path to lower your baseline level of stress, heal trauma, expand consciousness and increase health and vitality in every cell of your organism.

Feeling more at peace in your own body boosts your capacity to be open and receptive to the world around around you so you can fully and freely express and enjoy this life like it's your last one!

The retreat is held by the knowledgable, experienced, compassionate and playful facilitator Robbin van der Crussen.

More About Robbin

Instill in yourself a thorough understanding, the practical skill, and a deeply felt inspiration for how to use your breath and body awareness to meet life's inevitable challenges as exciting opportunities to wake up to more of your natural capacity for health, love, laughter, leadership, connection and creativity.

Every day starts with a morning practice, consisting of concentration, movement, breathing and relaxation to prepare your mind, body and spirit for the main work of the day, which is an in-depth breathwork session.

The main session includes a lesson explaining the underlying concepts, practical techniques, physiological and philosophical aspects of the practice empowering you to easily implement the practice when you come back home.

In the afternoons we dance, play, write, sing, share and relate to integrate and deepen our understanding and experience of the healing power of breath and body awareness, and connect more deeply with the group as a whole.

"Concrete practices that give more freedom in how I react and respond to my feelings and emotions."

"Concrete practices that give people more freedom in how they react and respond to their feelings and emotions.

By  learning about and working directly with the nervous system I now find it easier to tune into my own experience and needs, instead of distracting myself with bad habits.

I have also become better at communicating my emotions and needs to those around me in a more calm and mature way, instead of shutting down and withdrawing."

 

- Haakon

A WORD OF NOTICE

This is an intense and in-depth retreat. It is open to all and does not require any previous experience with breathwork.

Nevertheless it requires your willingness and openness to face new and unknown aspects of yourself.

You are expected to join the whole program, as it is built up with a natural progression from session to session, and as the dynamics and feeling of safety within the group depends on the full commitment of all participants.

You are expected to strictly adhere to silent hours (20.00-10.00) as this an important aspect of the individual and collective process.

If you have experienced severe trauma, or are suffering from any serious psychiatric condition, please consult me before signing up, so we can look into whether this retreat is suitable and beneficial for you.

Why not schedule a FREE exploration call?

Let's explore together if this retreat is a match for you in your life right now! Bring any questions or curiosities that you may have.
