EMOTIONAL AWARENESS -PROGRAM ​
The body awareness program is for you who want to get in closer contact with your body, the body sensations and feelings in order to harness their wisdom to guide your life! It is common for us to be detached from our bodies and emotions early in childhood, when we are left alone with too intense and frightening sensations and feelings. Even though we are now adults, for many of us this detachment has remained a normal way of being in the body and in life.
Emotions cannot really be felt anywhere else but deep in the body, and therefore, the whole life experience can remain thin and unsatisfying because of this. Emotions also play an important role in guiding our life choices - they tell us what we like, what we don't, what we want to approach, what to avoid, what is important to us and what is empty, what supports our well-being and what doesn't? Without them, we are cut off from our essential inner compass and the source of life's fullness.
In the body awareness program, we lightly familiarize ourselves with the basics of body awareness, but above all, we explore together ways to start approaching the body and our feelings gradually. We try different ways and find the ones that suit you. You will receive exercises that you can already do during the retreat and continue the journey when you return home. The program includes two individual guidance sessions (60 min).
​
THE MINDFULNESS -PROGRAM ​
Awareness skills are an increasingly important area of ​​life skills that we need to live a life according to our values ​​and that we must protect in this world of the attention economy. We may feel that we easily lose the ability to choose where we focus our attention and for how long, even though it is absolutely critical for the use of our time and the quality of our lives to keep this power with us. Our minds inevitably become restless and unfocused unless we consciously set boundaries and exercise our awareness muscle.
In Mindfulness individual guidance, we lightly familiarize ourselves with the basic theory of mindfulness and in cooperation create a mindfulness program tailored to you, which you can implement already during your retreat. A customized program can include formal or informal mindfulness exercises as well as other everyday practices or habits that support awareness skills. The program includes two individual guidance sessions (60 min).
