STILL Retreat | Integrate & Nourish
A calm, soft,
silent & soothing
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.
In this tranquil, soothing, and nourishing retreat STILL, we embark on an integrative experience.
We surrender the chatter of the mind to a deeper silence, exploring deeper layers within ourselves that were touched in the last year.
The retreat will be held mostly in silence, with spacious invitations for gentle expression through creativity, touch, and community.
Practices are few, simple and deepening - exploring concepts of deep surrender and letting go, nervous system resets, darkness, death, sounds and healing nourishment through food, ritual and nature.
You will find spaciousness in time to do nothing,
soak in the swimming pool or sauna,
and be lovingly held by nature, food, and togetherness.
With a touch of your KABI·RA transformational practices.
You will experience what truly matters to you,
and feel restored, grounded and deeply connected.
Both recharged and grateful.
What’s included
3-day immersive retreat with full-time facilitation
2 nights accommodation at New Eden, Friesland
Organic meals by our private chef
Swimming pool and sauna access
Optional discovery call
Access to private mentorship following the retreat
Testimonials
Time for you…you will:
Soften into deeper states of stillness.
Restore your system through presence, community, and gentle touch.
Be held in subtle rituals to integrate what’s been left unprocessed.
Recharge in silence, nature and the elements and lavish in food creations
Meet themes of death, endings, and darkness as humble teachers - transforming fear into clarity going forward and subtle vitality.
Embrace the graceful art of completion - in relationships, identity, and this year.
Deepen your capacity to rest in the fullness of this present moment.
Melt into gratitude, softness, and quiet joy of being alive.
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.
To light.

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.

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.
