Wow… giving a retreat is not always an easy task.
There is so much preparation beforehand, especially the way I do it. I prepare many special superfoods, create the space with care, bring in my own things, think about the energy, the atmosphere, the details…
And then, you never fully know who will come together.
Of course, many people return year after year, and over time they often become friends. I usually have conversations with new guests before they arrive, but still, every retreat is a little mystery. You never completely know how people will feel here, how they will connect with each other, or what may come to the surface once they slow down.
Some people arrive carrying deep grief, old traumas, illness, exhaustion or emotions that have not fully healed yet. And sometimes unexpected encounters or group dynamics can trigger something inside someone.
Mostly, I have been very lucky with my retreat groups. People often connect beautifully, support each other, and sometimes even become lifelong friends.
But this retreat has been quite a ride for me… and it made me realize even more how important it is to clarify what a retreat truly means to me, and how different it is from a normal holiday.
Yes, there is beauty, nature, nourishing food, yoga, rest and laughter.
But a retreat is also a shared space of awareness, healing and transformation. When we slow down and step away from daily distractions, things can come to the surface. Sometimes beautiful. Sometimes uncomfortable. Sometimes deeply healing.
For me, a retreat is not just a holiday experience where everything revolves around comfort and entertainment.
It is a sacred space where we come together with openness, respect, compassion and personal responsibility.
You do not need to be “perfect” or fully healed to come.
You are welcome exactly as you are.
But it is important to come with the understanding that a retreat is not about escaping life…
It is about meeting yourself more deeply within it.
Monday we will start another smaller retreat ( if you feel a deep last minute calling then reach out to me)
