Welcome to the first Living Compassion Retreat ever held in Finland. Join us ovet the Midsummer and open to the magic of the human experience; the beauty of authentic connection and the healing depth of integrating all our different parts into an integral whole!
Living Compassion is an embodied non-dual approach to life that invites a deep paradigm shift to live from wholeness. This path starts by embracing and welcoming all of who you are in your own loving awareness. This means being loving and present to every aspect of yourself, especially those parts that are hardest to love.
Through compassionate presence, you can more and more embody your deepest values, speaking, relating and choosing from the ground of your being.
This retreat is dedicated to cultivating self-awareness and a new relationship with our experience. We will deepen our sense of authenticity which is an expression of our freedom: being and acting from who we really are. Living Compassion and emotional integration methods will be supported by yoga, meditation, circle work and authentic sharing to cultivate deep connection and wholeness on all levels.
At the retreat we will experience:
Living Compassion ('the spirituality of NVC')
Deep integrative emotional alchemy
Power of ritual
Yoga & Meditation
Breath-work
Delicious vegetarian food
Sauna & nature
Ecstatic Dance
Nordic Midsummer Magic
