Some of you may already be planning your holidays, so my annual retreat to Silna near Pszczew, by the beautiful Lake Chłop in the heart of the forest, is this time also open to men and even couples. 🙂 Breaking with the previous format of a women-only circle, I’d like to invite everyone to the SUMMER RELATIONSHIP HEALING WORKSHOP, focusing on our relationship with ourselves, family relationships, relationships within a partnership, and professional collaboration. In the atmosphere of the mini-community we always create there, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and relaxing in the embrace of nature, we’ll engage in deep self-reflection and go through a yogic process of releasing the wounds of love on many levels.
18-24.08.2019. A nourishing immersion in nature
W SILNEJ BY LAKE CHŁOP, THE HOUSE UNDER THE LINDEN TREE / Pszczewski Landscape Park
Give yourself time to step away from the daily grind and find some balance spiritual well-being, thanks to the beautiful natural surroundings, a light, cleansing vegetarian diet and a daily yoga routine.
This year’s theme will be HEALING ALL RELATIONSHIPS.
We shall draw first and foremost on our spiritual nature, seeing ourselves as human beings in relation to the Self. The foundation of this relationship is Love and the heart. If we wish to bring these into the relationships we form in our lives, we need to make this Primordial Relationship the strongest one. Building on this experience, we will explore the nature of men and women without judgement. Differences are what make life interesting and challenging. The male and female psyches function in distinctly different ways, which means that each perceives feelings, sensations, words and even life itself very differently. When a man and a woman fail to recognise these unique gifts and challenges that the other side possesses, misunderstandings and difficulties will arise, regardless of the nature of the bond. Together, we can balance our energies, be ourselves and help one another to create fulfilment and harmony in our homes, communities and the world, and build relationships – whether as partners, within families or in the workplace – based on authenticity.
There will also be time for the body and mind to regenerate, to find and regain the energy retained in painful memories, repressed emotions, disallowed fears. The science and art of yoga does not bury the history of life, does not demand an analysis of memories - it invites you to purify their contents through the technology of breath, movement, concentration and mantra. Trust your inner feeling and let go of what you hold so tightly. Breathe. What awaits you is a week of rest, fun but also working with the methods of yogic knowledge of the spiritual, mental, mental and physical dimensions of the human being, a few small challenges, and caring for the needs of the female body with Ayurveda on a daily basis.

PROGRAMME: lectures and discussions in the Circle, two yoga/meditation sessions every day, one day of silence to discover inner stillness and regenerate the senses, but also to tap into a different dimension of communication; morning „trance-like” runs to the lake and swims, „breathwalk” walks in the forest, 3 vegetarian meals (2 involving communal cooking), artistic and creative activities, plenty of time for oneself, and in the evenings, relaxation to the sound of drums and gongs, singing by the fire, as well as learning how to give each other relaxing massages of the face, head, hands and feet, …

During these days you will experience a process of renewal on a physical, mental and spiritual level. You will experience both an Inner Silence conducive to deep introspection and the proximity of others in conversation, in sharing yourself together, in action and in practice. You will soothe your mind and feed your heart with contact with Nature. Through the simplicity of each day, your Body will relax and regenerate.
Such a trip can often stir dormant strings within us by moving us away from familiar realities, by changing the rhythm of the day; it is a relaxation from daily chores but works on other levels of existence - it regenerates what is tired of everyday life, temporarily weakens established mechanisms of action which allows for an opening of consciousness and a broadened perception (not only intellectual).
– so if you feel that this might be the right time for you, for you as a couple – get in touch now, and the decision you make within yourselves will set other events in motion so that it becomes possible to make it happen…. You’re welcome to join us
We’ll be starting on Sunday 18 August at 5.30 pm with an organisational meeting and dinner at 7.00 pm, and we’ll finish on Saturday 24 August with lunch at 1.00 pm.

===========================
WORK METHODS:

*Ayurveda - tips for balancing lifestyle, sleep, senses and diet; cooking and oil massages.

*Nada (Naad) yoga - a method of working with sound on subconscious patterns. Pure voice on vowels, and Mantra.
*Artistic activities ? surprise
Kundalini Yoga leads through gentle or intense, but always effective sets of exercises. The session begins by establishing a connection between the soul and the body through the sound of a mantra. It then guides your body through graceful postures rearranging patterns and blockages left in it by anger, shame and grief. It renews the flow of energy, making you open, ready to be a fulfilled being. Kundalini is a biological way of expanding the mind, it is the food of our consciousness, it reaches out through the nerves. Systematic work with one's own energy, mind and emotions by becoming familiar with the dynamics of the breath, calmly and comprehensively stretching the body and activating the chakras leads to a coherent and lasting connection of soul, body and mind, noticing one's own beliefs and limitations and that these can be healed. Great prophets, mystics, sages and people of genius have achieved their evolutionary goal. They harmonised their lives with the forces of nature that govern our lives. Their purity, truth, moderation, compassion, humility, above all, helped them to do so.
