What to expect?
2. Inviting you all to re-connect with your own state of being, your essence and your truth, discovering your authentic self.
What to expect?
3. For this journey we have selected a number of body-mind explorations varying from meditative acupuncture up to shamanic journeying.
Why is being connected to your body & mind and your authentic self-important?
You might find it odd if you are told that you are not fully connected to yourself, but you may recognize that this state may just be the truth. And the cause of much sufferings. Our team members have all gone through a period of change where they discovered what it is like to again feel connected to themselves. It is about feeling good, alive, present, grateful. Most importantly that you realize you can achieve many aspects yourself, not being dependent on others.
This retreat is for those who are:
- feeling out of control with food and eating
- currently experiencing an unhealthy/ uncomfortable body weight
- eating large amounts of food, even when not hungry
- experiencing negative emotions during and after eating
- having a love-hate relationship with food
- using food to deal with stress
- having little or no success with diet and exercise plans
- habitually eating too fast
- feeling consistently ’stuffed’ after eating
- and currently bing not so happy with your quality of life.
Our course is an intensive, evidence and practice-based training in becoming conscious, where you will learn new skills, tools and practices for your everyday life.
Key Program Points Include:
1. Connect Mind to Body and Body to Mind
Learn how to listen to bodily cues like physical hunger, fullness, and taste preferences. Develop a greater awareness toward these signals and learn how to apply consciousness. You will know how to use the power of your body & mind for improving your balance in life and enhance your quality of life. You will be able to use the power of the mind to increase energy levels, apply healthy habits, self-healing, and maybe most important, feel joyous and happy. With the exercises you’ve learned, you can make your own roadmap to release many forms of stress.
2. Build Your Emotional Compass
Understanding how stress impacts not only how we eat but how we live our lives, with special attention paid towards developing the stress management tools for a lifetime of health and greater well-being.
Develop skills for navigating emotions and critical thoughts to respond appropriately with food. Learn to identify personal triggers for mindless eating, such as emotions, social pressures, or certain foods.
3. Create Your Healthy Eating Model
Gain awareness on the value of food. Only if you feel in balance, your eating behavior is balanced. So clearly we need not to work on the eating itself, but on how we experience ourselves in our life and what our desires are in this context. Many moments in our life we are identified with some problem, or we suffer from repetitive thought patterns which do not help us. If we are in such a cloud of thoughts, we are not present for the now and here. That is exactly the moment when we lose control and start with habits which bring us out of balance.
