STILL Retreat | Integrate & Nourish
A soft, soothing & silent winter retreat
Winter.
A desire to slow down.
To step out of the noise.
And soften into yourself.
Not to fix, push or strive - but to simply be.
To rest.
To breathe.
To remember what matters.
Coming home to warmth, to stillness,
to the quiet holding of nature and community.
To let your system exhale.
Allownig space for you to land.
STILL are your tranquil, and nourishing days off.
For you and your beloved, for you and your community or just for you.
This experience will let the year unwind softly. Surrendering the chatter of the mind to a deeper silence outside and inside. Saturday is a full day in silence.
This is a real treat for you if you want to digest your year.
If you are looking for a nourishing, warm and loving space.
If you choose to share inwards personal development time with community, friends and like-minded people.
Practices are few, simple and deepening - exploring topics around surrender, nervous system reset, darkness, endings and closure, sounds and touch with ample healing nourishment through food, ritual and nature.
You will find spaciousness in time to do nothing,
be lovingly held by nature, food, and togetherness.
And soak in the swimming pool or sauna.
Of course, with a touch of your KABI·RA transformational practices and surprising rituals.
Leaving you feeling restored, grounded and deeply connected.

What I received was surprisingly gentle and soft. Sharing about our deceased loved ones. Looking back on the ups and downs of our lives, and finding out what is truly important.

One of the most impressive workshops I have participated in. I realized there is an ending to my time here. I was confronted with my fear of living out of the fear of dying (unconsciously). I realized every day can, and should be lived, allowing playing in life again.

Darkness, mourning, and silence
as kind invitations to surrender.
Deep in the darkness,
we find the stillness of the earth.
The warm holding of moist and density,
gravity pulling us down into our structure.
And as we melt our bodies into surrender.
Our deeper knowing lights us up.
And guides us outwards.
From within.
