Retraite

Living to the fullest in Italy: a multi-day retreat in Le Marche where you can land, breathe and feel alive again - not just standing upright. This retreat invites you in an accessible, warm way to take your desire for a fuller, more real life seriously and actually make room for it. It is a 'Half-Day Retreat' with the afternoons and evenings free!

Live life to the fullest in Le Marche

Amid the rolling hills, olive trees and relaxed pace of Casal dei Fichi in Le Marche, you can relax, away from your daily roles and 'musts'. The silent power of the landscape supports you to become quieter inside, so that you can feel what you really need again. This multi-day retreat is for people who feel inside: there is more to me and to my life than I am living now. It is not a 'heavy' training, but an invitation to soften, deepen and become more honest with yourself, in an environment that feels like a breather.

From surviving to living to the fullest Many people largely function based on survival mechanisms: adapting, pleasing, fighting, fleeing or shutting down. That works for a while, but costs energy, zest for life and often also connection with yourself and others.

From surviving to living to the fullest Many people largely function based on survival mechanisms: adapting, pleasing, fighting, fleeing or shutting down. That works for a while, but costs energy, zest for life and often also connection with yourself and others. In this experience-oriented retreat you will gently explore how your patterns work in your body, emotions and behavior. You will experience that you have more choice than you think, creating space for spontaneity, openness and individuality. Emotional bodywork and experiential exercises You work with emotional body work, breath, movement and focused attention, so that not only your head, but also your body can participate in the process. By feeling what lives inside you, stuck emotions, tension and old stories can slowly soften and release. The exercises are experience-oriented, varied and expertly supervised, with room for silence, sharing, humor and lightness. You don't need to have experience with body work; It is more important that you are curious about yourself and long for more inner freedom.

Who this retreat is for: This retreat in Le Marche is intended for people who:

•    Knowing the feeling of having to do a lot and longing for more peace and space for oneself.

•    Wanting less to survive and more wanting to feel, choose and live from their own heart and body.

•    Be open to body-oriented and experience-oriented work in a small, safe group.
