Campsite Retreat – Happiness is just a breath away!

Are you looking for a meaningful program for the Easter holiday? Don’t look any further! You are in exactly the right place…!

PROGRAMME

We are too much in love with the eternal here and now to force us and you into a fixed timeframe. Yet we can guarantee that our hourly schedule will be filled with a mix or blend of the following elements – according to the needs of the participants and the air of the day and the surrounding. All sessions take place either in our Workshop Cave or in the garden and on the land.

What & how

Bodywork – every day we start with a specially designed set of bodywork on the roof terrace, the garden or the cave. This set is specially designed to get you out of your head and into your senses and contains elements of neo-reichian Bioenergetics, ARICA, Yoga, Trager-Bodywork, classical ballet, mixed martial arts and modern dance theatre routines.

Brainwork – everyday we investigate in one way or the other your mental concepts like your expectations and hope- profile, anxiety-profile, inherited scripts, self-sabotage routines, distraction/escapism/avoidance tricks as well as the various ways of your self-motivation profile.

Breathwork – the blessings of Krya-Yoga and Kundalini-Yoga laid the groundwork for modern ways of working with the breath. We use controlled heavy breathing to flood the organism daily. We use Pranayama Breathing to win back control over your breath as well as moderate screaming and shouting to free the full range of your voice and general expressiveness.

Artwork – Some spots of the soul can hardly be reached by language or work with the body, but very good by uncontrolled creative expressiveness. We use the breathtaking surrounding nature for various land art methods like arranging elements, scratching techniques, natural colouring and combining misfits.

Integration – As we think that your experiences should show lasting effects and real change of behaviour, every set of experiential and expressive methods will be followed by acts of reflection. Creative writing, talking, storytelling and meaningful
sharing in the group. Words in one or the other way, as words still are the best way of mental conservation. We will also use enhanced wording techniques like neuro-nudging – hourly repeated customised wordings with eye/ear contact as well as “useful prayers” combinations of customised questions and wishes to be repeatedly said or sung.

Create to Connect: a journey of self-expression

We invite you to explore the beauty and the power of your Creative Energy to discover and nurture your Authentic Self and enjoy your self-expression. Create to Connect is a Creative Inner Journey of self-exploration, self-expression, and transformation through artistic tools. It will be a journey inside us to process who we are in this particular moment of our life and becoming aware of all the aspects of ourselves.

Expressive Art is a safe and sacred space that allow us to fully explore and express our emotions, needs and wishes. Through the creative process, we can Connect with our Inner self, unlock our full potential and open the Heart for a Personal Re-birth. This can support us in moving forward in our lives, be more aware, use personal resources outside the workshop space, built authentic relationships.

Through this creative journey, we can connect (or re-connect?) not only with us but also with the the others, we can create interpersonal connections and discover our Inner self in the stories of the others and thanks to the process of the the others. The power of the creative energy of the Group is a wonderful gift to experience.

The Process

Our instructor and guide, Flavia Santillo will promote a safe and positive space that helps participants in the creative process, self-expression and the self exploration. All workshops are based on holistic approach where the Body movement and expression are the important key of self development and healing. In each session she will guide you through different artistic exercises and task that combine Body, Creativity and Guided meditation/visualization, in particular they include Intuitive Painting, Expressive Movement, Drama and Journaling.

Every workshop always start with a Welcome Circle , followed by a Body activity (ex. breathing, gentle warm-up, expressive movement) linked by a deep and emotional work through other artistic tools. Guided meditation and visualization help us to be in touch with our Inner world and awake our intuition. Sharing Circle will be an intense end important moment that gently will lead us to the end the session.
