LIFE IS AN ACT OF LOVE"As I´m sitting here trying to write an invitation to our retreat, I find out that after many years of doing this practice I have no words and in the same time, every word I say is somehow about that.
All I would like is to live it, now, here, in whatever life I find myself living. What does it mean to live it? It´s actually simple. I see life as an act of love, there is nothing in it which is not coming from love or made for its sake. The source of it is in my heart, the meeting place between that which creates everything, and me. And if I will not find it there, where else would I hope to find it? We don’t have to do anything, its already done, we are made like that, sometimes we forget .
My favorite way of remembering is by sound our voice, as if we were talking to God, imagining that he is in front of us, listening, like a parent that by the sound of their child´s voice already know how they are doing, words and stories can cover us like cloths. It´s our voices that can bring us naked in front of him, it has the power to become our most intimate union with ourselves and with life itself. There is a chorus of a song that I really like, it goes like this, loosely translated from Hebrew:
"I don’t mind, actually it is quit pleasant
to sing in your ears the wildest songs.
And to stand in front of God with two dimples
and six broken strings."
When we meet for a weekend workshop, at the end of it, many times it feels like it would be so interesting and so nice to see where we can go from there, how more deep and practical can we be with this practice, well, that's what this 5 days retreat is for.
To join us on this retreat, we recommend you to have at least little bit of experience with the practice (e.g. 1 individual session). If you do not have it, but want to join us, please contact us. We plan to create an online event for free so you can check if it fits you :)

He will guide us through body, mind and voice and support us to step into the unknown that life offers. His kind, yet strong and direct guidence, will open up the treshhold for that which is present. With no ilusion, no suppressing, no avoiding.. just pure being. Clarity, love and non judgement. He trully keeps the wisdom and we are very happy he is open to share it with us.
