Let yourself immerse in tranquility and allow your body and mind to be cleansed and recharged in absolute silence on the summer time of this year.
In these three days of cutting off communication with the world, you will engage in deep meditation, gentle stretching, and peaceful chanting. Let the land, forest and air help you relax your brain and soul.
Sometimes connections can happen without the use of words. Through every eye gaze, guide each other to explore the world that is seen through our own eyes.
On our final night together, we will sit down and practice sharing our experience. This journey of purifying the body, mind, and soul allows us to better understand the importance of expression. While you learn the technique of expression, you are ready to embrace daily life with a calm body and mind.
What To Expect
Wear your most comfortable clothes and bring environmentally friendly tableware.
Put down your phones and communicate with the world attentively.
Stay weird and stay unique.
Silent Artistic Expression: Gina
In this retreat, Gina will guide us from silence into the world of sound. Together with our companions, we will immerse ourselves in silent companionship, exploring new perspectives and opening up the space within our hearts. In the world of sound, let your bodies move freely to the chants, bringing your mind back to the present.
In the realm of sound, we will slowly listen to the natural rhythms of our bodies. Through chanting, we will awaken our ears and throats, loosening the constraints within and bringing awareness back to the present moment.
“Follow your heart and you’ll realize that everything is connected.”
Gina has received her yoga qualification in places including Taiwan, Thailand and Nepal.
In her experience, she has felt unity with the universe by yoga, meditation, chanting and self observation and has also found a connection with her inner self that she has never felt before as a kid.
Gina believes that listening closely to your heart, and observing every movement can help you gain a better understanding of yourself.
