Do you regularly feel stressed, insecure, or anxious in your daily life?
Treat yourself to a dance, and Awareness through Movement retreat where you will learn how to enter into dialogue with your nervous system and alter long-standing limiting physical, emotional, and perception habits.
Increase your resilience and inner peace. Feel more pleasure in the activities that are important and meaningful to you, whether that is playing with your children, walking, dancing or meditating, or simply experiencing ease and joy in everyday activities.
This retreat offers a gentle and profound holistic and somatic approach to finding more ease, self-connection, joy, and quality in your life through both powerful Feldenkrais neuro-physical movement coaching, NIA sensation-based dance movement play, expressive arts, and a somatic energetic hands-on bodywork treatment. (This retreat doesn't offer yoga)
Enjoy the beautiful sunrises over the mountains, musing under an enchanting starry sky, indulge in delectable vegetarian/vegan meals, pure air, peaceful silence, and the sensuous abundance of nature.
Come back to your senses and sensations to feel better and move better.

In this exclusive retreat, with a max of 5 solo travelers, I will guide you on a personal journey into well-being that will help you to connect deeper with your body, your body's wisdom, and your self-healing capacity.
You can book this retreat on any date you like and enjoy a personal journey packed with inspiration at a friendly price. But because you can book this retreat virtually anytime, on the dates of your choice you may be the only guest and have a private retreat with me.
You will regain profound insight into how your nervous system programs itself and how to change limiting physical, emotional, and mental patterns through compassionate attention, self-awareness, and sensory-based and mindful movement exercises that harness the plasticity of the nervous system.
Combining self-awareness, movement, exploration, expressive arts, mindfulness, curiosity, and playfulness, we will tap into the nervous system's capacity for endless learning, growth, and rewiring.
From the moment you are born, your central nervous system develops itself through movement, play, curiosity, and discovery.
This organic neuro-physical learning is the foundation of the Feldenkrais method and the NIA holistic dance movement practice that I offer in this retreat.
Instead of imposing movements and postures, I invite you to play with movement ideas arising from everyday activities, sensations, emotions, thoughts, visualizations, nature, and energetic qualities.
We engage with your nervous system and strengthen your sense of self through imagination, exploration, sensory awareness, and movement creativity.
As a result, you develop a fuller understanding of yourself. This helps you recognize underlying limiting emotional, mental, and physical habits and create new powerful ways to move through life effortlessly, resiliently, and full of energy.
Usually, the more dynamic NIA dance movement sessions take place in the morning. In the afternoon sessions, I use the Feldenkrais method.
In the Feldenkrais sessions, you are invited to move - lying on the floor, sometimes standing or sitting - at a gentle pace, in a way that feels comfortable and joyful for you, with your attention in your body and with the inner sensations. Most movements are done small and slowly.
Expressive art self-inquiry is woven throughout all sessions.
This retreat offers you a very unique and personalized body-centered self-healing program, in a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere.
You will find a safe, supportive and encouraging environment that holds space to meet yourself on a deeper level, in your own time and pace.
It is our greatest aspiration and joy to make your stay, and inner journey a truly wonderful, transformative, and nourishing experience for you.
