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 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 with the negative ionic charge found in nature. Not only this will shift your negative emotions, but it will also 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 of extra energy.

Sleeping more than 8 hours – Treat yourself during the whole stay as a patient. When complex emotions start 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.
