Welcome to a nourishing weekend of deeper connection at beautiful Nøsen yoga & Mountain hotel.
Getting together in a container of warmth, silence, dance, meditation and ceremonies has become one of my priorities in life. It is a doorway to expanded consciousness and essential connection with who we are. It often brings deep meaning, healing and reconnection.
Most of the retreat will be with silent togetherness. From Thursday morning to Saturday morning, we will not talk with each other using words (except from the possibility of sharing in sharing circles). This gives us a possibility for deeper listening and more inner focus.
The silence/non talking period is supported by biodanza, flowdancing, meditation, cacao ceremony, fire ceremony, mantra singing and free time.
About Biodanza:
Biodanza is a radical system of integration and change. It invites us to open up to life fully on all levels and to awaken dormant life potential. Dance, integrated movements, affection, trance, connection on all levels (connection with yourself, with others and with life in its totality) are essential powers of change in Biodanza. Physical connection is also a part of Biodanza.
About Flowdancing:
Flowdancing is dance meditation. You can have your eyes closed or open as you choose, and your dance will unfold from inside in the moment. A part of the dance journey is with blind-fold to support the process of entering deeper inside.
Flowdancing is:
meditation because it shifts my consciousness
medicine because it harmonizes stress and stuck emotions
a mediator because it offers me a space of exploration in all directions.
a medium because I can ride the wave of exploration in it.
About Cacao Ceremony:
Cacao ceremony is a meditative sacred ritual inviting us for deeper connection; connection with ourselves, with life and with our highest purpose.
Ceremonial Cacao acts as a heartful facilitator for inner work.
Holding a high vibrational quality, Cacao will guide you deeper into your body, stimulate your mind, and awaken your sensitivity, making it the perfect ally to support your silence, our dance and our insight and it carries you deeper within. To enter the moment in a ceremonial way opens new doors of perception.
