What You'll Experience
This retreat was created to help people (re)connect deeper with their self, their body and mind. (Re)connect with their tribe, their soul family, like minded people. (Re)connect with nature and their own human nature, and purpose.
Symbiosis
The life we're attuned to live, isn't the life we live in the modern day. Disconnection is present every day, and it starts with the simplicity of the food we eat. At this retreat we'll and get in touch with the intimate relationship with the earth, nature and plants through our raw living foods meals, in the way our bodies are meant to be nourished. The health and state of your physical body affects all other levels of your being. Purify and nourish your body at the cellular level through the best fruits and vegetables from the area.
Ceremony
Learning how to reconnect with deeper parts of you that you neglected or pushed aside, for one reason or another is key to feel connected to yourself and your environment. Rituals and ceremonies will be held. Embracing discomfort, and embracing healing and change, the most natural process. Creating rituals like spiritual purification, through the 4 elements of earth, water, air and fire, allows for a deeper connection with the rhythms of the universe.
Tribe
Since the beginning of times, humans have come together and sat in circles to share joy and grief, make important decisions and connect. The people you meet at such events are your close family, your soul brothers and sisters. The bonds made were meant to happen. This is a reconnection on a soul level. We share our fears and insecurities with each other in vulnerable but safe settings. We share our love and affection openly. We share a path in common.
Reconnection
Rebirthing breathwork is a powerful technique that uses conscious breathing to release emotional blockages and promote mental clarity. The deep breathing exercises help to increase energy flow in the body, which induces a state of relaxation, allowing for the release of buried emotions and trauma. By engaging in these practices, one can reconnect with their true self, leading to increased happiness, confidence, and overall well-being.

Maja's beautiful experience
“I tried to love everyone on the outside, and be nice to everyone, but I forgot to love myself (…) I realized I didn’t change, I just became myself again.”

Mike's Lesson
"I have resistance to say it, but what I’ve learned about myself, is that everything I need is basically all inside me. I no longer need to search and look for something on the external, to distract myself, or to bring me some fulfillment. Because yeah, just through the breath and through the connection with others and nature and with myself, all these things are healing, and they’re all within me."
Mike has been with us at 2 retreats already

Elemental Spirituality: Integrating Ancient Wisdom
At our retreat, we embrace the ancient wisdom of the elements—water, fire, earth & air—as powerful symbols of spiritual purification and growth, seamlessly woven with traditional practices all over the world throughout cultures, and the teachings of Jesus Christ. Each element offers unique insights into our spiritual journey:
Water symbolizes cleansing and renewal, much like the sacrament of baptism in Christianity. Through rituals like prayerful bathing and submerging in (natural) waters and meditative practices by water, you experience the purifying grace of this element.
Fire represents transformation and illumination. Inspired by the ancient symbolism of fire, we can incorporate candle lighting, incense burning and fire meditation into our practices, inviting transformative power to ignite our inner courage and illuminate our paths.
Earth embodies stability and growth, reminding us of God's creation and our role as stewards, and of our connection to nature. Through gardening, barefoot nature walks, and creating sacred earth altars, we ground ourselves in God's presence, nurturing spiritual growth and harmony with nature.
Air signifies breath and inspiration, reflecting the life-giving breath of the Spirit. Practices like breathwork and wind meditation help participants connect with this life force, finding peace and inspiration in the gentle whisper of the wind.
Join us in this sacred journey, where ancient elemental wisdom converges with contemporary spiritual practices, fostering a deeper, more integrated life experience.

Haico's experience
"I was a little bit nervous, because I am not vegan (...) but everyone was connecting to each other, and accepting everyone. And that was so nice. You can be who ever you want to be."
Haico was with us at the 2nd edition of the retreat in Tenerife.
A few beautiful words from Keefe
"I think during the retreat I worried that there would be times when I would feel left out or feeling self-sabotaging emotions come up, but I felt so welcomed by everybody, everyone was so lovely. And that just made the experience that much more nicer"
Rebirthing Breathwork.
What is it about?
Rebirthing breathwork has been developed to facilitate individual transformative 1:1 sessions. Its main physical goal is to correct "breathing deviations" in each individual person's breathing mechanism. These deviations/obstructions to the natural breath, can be present since birth (through birth trauma, etc.) and accumulate over the years - until it's almost impossible to sustain deep flowing breaths. This is where we disconnected from our body to the point of not feeling it and its energy centers. This mechanism was the body's way to cope with trauma. A protection mechanism which was necessary at that time.
A series of corrective sessions can return you to the full and free breath which is your natural breathing state.
When we free our breath, emotions which have been stuck for years inevitably come up and flow away.
Rebirthing breathwork also helps us to purify the mind from specific deep negative thoughts and cellular imprints and free up space in your mind, so you can more easily embody the divine nature that you are. It helps eliminating or vastly reducing anxiety.
It's the most basic, simplistic healing one can experience.

What Joris is saying...
"More than taking something with me from the retreat, I have a sense of leaving something behind. I believe it's not what you accumulate, it's what you can release. I really felt, with the people at the retreat, like I can let go. I feel like I can leave behind part of my anxiety, part of the daily stresses, or doubts... That made me see more love"

Listen to Alex
"I think I'm a very lucky person, for having met Damian in highschool. We lost contact, but then reconnected many years after, when I started to watch his stories on social media. I thought 'Wow, this is amazing what he's doing'. I knew I wanted to help him and join his retreat without even thinking, and it has completely changed my life!"
