[1 spot open] Wild Embrace: A Four-Day Celebration of Embodied Connection

𝓦𝓲𝓵𝓭 𝓮𝓶𝓫𝓻𝓪𝓬𝓮 Let’s be soft. And let’s be wild. When the days are short and cold and our pockets of vitality are depleting, we will offer a warm space of rejuvenation. This retreat is not about diving into our shadows but letting ourselves unwind and enjoy as a tribe. So, let’s snuggle like puppies after howling like wild beasts. Let’s come into stillness and sacred presence, right after playing like little children. Let’s get real in our true, honest expression, and then go into character and be someone else. Let’s explore softness and gentle touch. And then let’s wrestle and feel our strength against each other. Let’s retreat, into our nature, and get relaxed. And excited! There are so many aspects to us, and we can do so much. Feel so much. Let’s remember what we are before all the stories are told. - 𝑇𝑜𝑣𝑎, 𝑀𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑢𝑠z & 𝑀𝑎𝑔𝑛𝑢́𝑠. 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜𝗦 𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗗 𝗘𝗠𝗕𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗘? It is a four-day all-inclusive retreat in nature, one hour south of copenhagen. A gathering celebrating human connection and expression. Here you will experience safety in being held, being witnessed in your delicious humanness, your power and gentleness, playfulness, and pain. The biggest wounds that most humans carry happen within relationships. That is why, we believe, that experiencing safe, attuned, and honest connections has such a powerful healing agency. Connecting will happen through various practices focused on touch, movement, and breath, in verbal and non-verbal spaces. We start by establishing a shared language, get to know each other and build from there. That being said, we aim not to grasp too tightly to comfort and safety which carries a risk of narrowing the spectrum of our actual human experience, in all its shapes and colors. We will be honest and inclusive, also about our more raw and loud parts. We embrace and invite them with practices such as dancing, theater games, and primal play sessions. And yet we hold each other throughout, sharing and respecting each other's needs and boundaries. You will be encouraged to keep returning to your own sense of agency and intuition of what is right for you at the moment, practicing listening to your deeper knowing. This supports the remembrance that transformation, or self-discovery, is a natural unfolding of reality that wants to happen for each one of us.

PRACTICAL ❥ 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 & 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 These four days are intended to support you in discovering aspects of your being that are less guarded, more free, and closer to your true nature. We feel it is important to acknowledge that what carries a big increase in the transformative potential is your integration of these experiences into your everyday life and relationships. This process takes time and requires commitment and a supportive environment. Therefore we encourage you to join the retreat with one or more persons who are close to you, a friend, partner, or family member, so that you can bring some practices back home together to support and deepen your integration. Of course, you are also more than welcome to come without knowing anyone else attending. ❥ 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 We will have two online calls to support the community building and integration process, one before and one after the retreat.
