About this Retreat
Your Guides
I dream about a world where we really care, listen and see each other because for a long time I didn’t feel seen. I am looking forward to a society where we let ourself be guided by curiosity to get the essence of our fellow humans because for a long time I didn’t feel heard.
I’m longing for people who have the magical words and attitude to make each other feel welcome, safe and acknowledged and therefore comfortable to completely let go and open up because for a long time I didn’t feel welcome when I opened up.
I imagine a lifestyle where we relate on an eye level and connect deeply on a heart level because for a long time I didn’t feel connected and appreciated. Like that our biggest treasures that we had to suppress in our early days can surface, be recognised and given to others to enrich their lives because for a long time I also didn't know how to enrich other people's lives.
I wonder what the world would be like if we all connected to our inner guidance, intuition and inspiration so that external authorities would become obsolete?
I dream about a world where we can be authentic and freely express our inner movements. Our fears, our sadness, our grief, our shame, our guilt and our anger without attacking or blaming anybody else for it and assuming the responsibility.
I envision a world where we communicate our projections to find out that they aren't real while everything is met with understanding and curiosity without trying to fix us so we can go deeper and get to the real cause underneath and dissolve or integrate it.
A world where we recognise each other's gifts and talents and have the courage to express our appreciation in order to empower and uplift and create the world where everybody has their place without competing with each other.
For a lot of time my biggest pain has been to not feel seen and heard and my feelings not being acknowledged and validated. So what makes me feel most alive and my heart sing is to offer the medicine for that pain to others.
What makes you feel most alive and your heart sing?
Details of this retreat
"Let your Heart be touched by the Miracles that happen when you feel profoundly connected and don’t have to be anybody!’
What we will do and what will happen
Have you ever experienced what happens when you feel profoundly connected?
When you get in touch with others on a really deep level?
Feel safe and at ease?
And can relax more and more into yourself?
Which brings out the best in you?
And connects you to your Truth and inner Wisdom?
The point of the “Just Pure Being” Nature Retreats is to offer an opportunity to grow into a new attitude of communicating and relating. To create a safe transformational space from that new perspective where real and deep connection can happen. Then our nervous system has the possibility to calm down and our own inner truth and wisdom can surface.
In a solution and advice oriented society where we are very eager to find a quick fix on a symptom, behaviour, strategy and action level the real causes for most of our problems stay untouched.
In the "Just Pure Being" Nature Retreats we will spend most of the time walking at beautiful spots out in nature as designated further below. Nevertheless the real focus is on a safe space where we can share our heart honestly and vulnerably. An environment where we get curious and dive deeply into each other's worlds without wanting to change anything about them. We will discover what it feels like when our peculiarities are welcomed, acknowledged and appreciated.
Transformation happens when we welcome what is.
Being with each other in Humility, Curiosity and Compassion can be a life-changing experience!
All of our behaviours, attitudes, beliefs and strategies were vital at one time and saved our lives in the environment we grew up in. We couldn't be different because our system found the exact right way to cope. When all this is acknowledged, appreciated and met with compassion a deeper dimension can open up within ourselves since we don't have to explain, defend and protect ourselves anymore and can therefore relax and "JUST SIMPLY BE".
And maybe get to the core and real cause why each one is, feels, behaves and acts the way we do. And also why we believes what we believe. And that all that used to make perfect sense to be able to survive.
Realizing all that starts an unstoppable transformation because we cease resisting difficult parts and states in ourselves and begin meeting them with compassion and understanding.
And all what we have kept trapped within us and what has been blocking us can be liberated.
“Only when Compassion is present will we allow ourselves to see the Truth.”
That's when our true potential starts shining through.
And "JUST PURE BEING" effortlessly happens.
And we discover and get to know parts of ourselves that we couldn’t even imagine.
The whole journey will be spontaneous and dynamic with guidance and activities in the morning and evening circles and the possibility to pick individual processes with the involvement of the whole group if necessary.
Every retreat will be a unique experience and is therefore complementary to all the other ones and not so much about what we do but how we do it and growing into a new attitude of communicating and relating with each other.

● More clarity about your beliefs, coping and compensation strategies, attachment styles and why you are the way you are
