“The flower doesn’t dream of the bee. It blossoms and the bee comes.”
Mark Nepo
Going to a retreat gives us the possibility to connect with what is most essential in our lives, to experience it in a more direct way, free of conditioning and more receptive and aware of ourselves and our relationships.
Throughout the retreat, we will have mindfulness meditation, yin yoga, talks, moments to share, moments of silence, vegetarian meals, all reflecting our quest for greater simplicity and openness.
Yoga helps to unlock the body, to balance energy and to prepare the mind to go deeper, allowing meditation to highlight the subtler aspects of our experience.
