Retreats

Self-care makes you grow

In order to remain standing in the storm of life with all its stimuli and stressors, and at the same time being able to move with it as needed, it is imperative that we find peace within ourselves. Inner stillness, as if in the eye of the storm. So that you can experience the wisdom of your body and know what to do. In doing so, it helps to get away from your daily environment for a while. So that you can feel space, stretch your comfort zone a bit, be with yourself, and nourish yourself.

The retreats Josie offers in the Netherlands and abroad know a great variety of content. In addition, they differ in program and intensity; sometimes it is a true pressure cooker for transformation, another time relaxation is the basis. The common thread is always the realization that we are spirit in physical form where our body serves as the interface with the great mystery. So we can welcome all earthly and all heavenly aspects of our humanity. Without diffidence, without judgment, everything is allowed to be there. This also resultat in an important role for Breathwork in all retreats. The breath penetrates all of our bodies, the physical and the energetic. Breathing = Living! In addition, Meditation and Movement are fixed components of the retreats, regularly combined with Yin Yoga, Soul Flow Dance and Rituals as well.

Nothing to do, just nothing. No work, how enjoyable it is. No care, how normal it may feel. No discipline, how healthy it must be. Just nothing. Only experiencing il dolce far niente under the Italian sun. Besides the relaxing location and environment, a wine tasting and the delicious Italian food there are options to choose from to feed yourself in a whole different way: breath sessions, meditations, soft movement exercises like yin yoga and pilates, plus dancing and singing, all according to your own wishes, so only if you feel like it.
