Retreat in the Eifel in October/November 2024
Happiness often comes from paying attention to small things,
Unhappiness often comes from neglecting small things
I, We and The World; fun learning together, is this important retreat in the Eifel
On Thursday 31st October at 4.00 pm. begins the retreat ‘Where are my blind spots? Am I also living them without realising it within the society/community? How can I work on them so that I and everyone else feels better?’ The retreat continues on Friday 1st, Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd of November. On Sunday until 14.00.
During this retreat we do exercises, we meditate, we paint and we move, so that we can see and observe ourselves in the different ways we act in this world, and thereby work on ourselves in order to lead a happier and more effective life, also with our fellow human beings.
In this retreat, everything that is there, is noticed without judgement. We do not think in terms of good or bad, because what is, is. We won't occupy ourselves with much thinking anyway, because the mind so often gets in the way.
No one will judge/value/rate anyone, but we will determine, notice which sensations we ourselves have and what moves and/or causes certain dynamics within us.
We carry the wisdom of divinity/the universe in our bodies, and this wisdom we will discover as to show us what our next step should be. We learn to be in the now, to leave the past where it belongs and prepare for the future we don't know yet, because all this knowledge is here as a seed. We just need to discover it.
We always start from the point that there is basic goodness in everyone. Nevertheless, with good intentions we can also achieve undesirable results.
When we discover this, we are happy to have discovered a blind spot.
We learn to stay with our feelings, like sadness, anger, frustration, fear, and to recognise them as motivation for change. And we are ALWAYS, whether we recognise/acknowledge it or not, part of a community.
By using body-based, contemplative methods, we become aware of our own body as well as the ‘social body’ of a group. We recognise our deep connection with each other and experience our inherent ability to support each other and how this brings mind and body back into balance.
Writing materials (paper and pen) as well as coloured pencils (no feltpens) are required for the retreat. Colouring paper is available.
Ria will speak German and English.
Registrations directly with Ria. There are only 2 places left.
