Schedule

IMPRESSION OF THE JOURNEY

The first day we meet in the pretty old town of Bergamo. You will get the last guidance how to pack your backpack sufficient and comfortable. After that we go for a small hike in the old town of Bergamo.

The next morning we travel by bus to a very small mountain village. A village as from the movies with a pretty little church where an old Italian lady walks down the street. When you look up you see a range of stunning mountains in the background. That is the moment you realize that is the stunning area in which you are going to be submerged during this journey.
In the village we tie our laces, put on our backpack and hike towards the mountains. Exchanging the habited world for wild nature.

Our journey starts with a path elevating through a fairytale forest and meadows full of flowers. Along the journey we climb higher and higher. We cross little streams, sometimes we hike on earth, other moments on stones or big boulders. A couple of times we reach a mountain pass above tree line followed by descending a beautiful path along mountain lakes. Near the end of the week we even climb a mountaintop.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The beautiful Mountainbreath guided by Caloe
A few years ago I joined the Mountainbreath program guided by Caloe.I got to know Caloe on the journey as a warm and very competent guide and coach for me.
The Mountainbreath journey: as a mountainguide she put together a beautiful journey, it breaths her love for this mountainregion. She knows the best piknickspots with amazing views where we had second breakfasts and luches. She tells about the special plants ( we saw Edelweis!). And her selected paths led us to a variaty of mountainhuts, all giving us a different experience with their own atmosphere.
We hiked on beautiful, quiet and sometimes challenging hikingpaths.

My mental journey was also taken care of with gentle guidance when I wished or needed that. She created a pleasant atmosphere by her calm presence and empathy. I felt free and safe.
I was encouraged by Caloe and nature to push my bounderies and to look for my strength to overcome difficult ascents or descents, as in real life. To see new possibilities, to learn from the past and to see new views.
You can assume that Caloe offers you on this Mountainbreath journey the best of her many talents with lots of love!

From Fear to Love ❤ Ibiza Feb 2020
I joined the ‘from FEAR to LOVE’ retreat in February 2020.
I, like you, was drawn to the title immediately ! From Fear to Love ❤ That's life isn't it ? I was looking for something out there to heal me or put me on the right course, to make me experience life better. Before being drawn to this retreat I was making all my decisions from a place of FEAR. And as soon as I came across the retreat, I knew my decisions had to be made from my heart from here on.

The best choice I ever made was choosing Love.
Love for myself, others, nature. Love for life! ❤

The retreat program Caloe has put together is nothing short of AMAZING !
All through the retreat I found myself getting stronger and stronger, with the combination of inner work and healing breath work, I knew I was on the right course and my life finally made sense. I know who I am. I would like to share some more effects which the different program parts had on me;

BREATH WORK - mind expanding, deep healing
YOGA & MEDITATION - got me really in contact with my body
ATMOSPHERE - I experienced the most peaceful & safe environment to work with myself
GROUP - the amazing people that I met (true friends for life)
LOCATION & VILLA - spectacular, like Heaven
FOOD - beautifully tasty, never ate that good in my life

This was for me a LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE! I will certainly be going back to loads more of Caloe's retreats. I spread the word of Love ❤

Light & Love
Keith Doyle ❤
