Theme: Relationships and Connection



“With every true friendship, we build more firmly the foundations on which the peace of the world rests.”

- Mahatma Gandhi

​

The good life is built with good relationships. We are predominantly social beings who crave meaningful connections and our innate need to form, grow, and sustain relationships is universal and clearly evident from an early age. We know that high-quality human relationships provide meaning and are a source of joy across our lives - essential as food and water. In the same way that we recognise hunger and thirst as ways our body communicates that we need to eat and drink, loneliness also acts as a signal that reminds us how important it is to connect to others. Research emphasises that relationships are as important as material living standards, health, and education in determining the quality of our life. So - let’s dive into how we can overcome our struggle to build human connection and move towards creating circles of connection which help to sustain and nurture us.

On this retreat, Bella & Hanne will create a nurturing and nourishing environment to explore, get curious and reflect on the meaningful relationships and friendships we have or want in our lives. We will spend some time focusing on the power of loneliness and what happens when we find greater connection. Our process will include group daily yoga practises, discussions, reflective exercises, mindfulness practises and lots of space to breathe, reflect and unwind.

The body work, the yoga, will provide us with an invaluable chance to ground ourselves and root our new knowledge and learning.

Expect a fun, dynamic and inspiring atmosphere where we will encourage one another to observe, understand, deepen and align in both body and mind.

We will meet two to three time a day over the course of the long weekend to practise morning yoga and afternoon workshops and meditation, as well as sharing meal times. They’ll be plenty of time for yourself too, with no crammed schedules.
