Rooted WITHIN
Nurturing the seeds to authenticity
BREATHWORK & EMBODIMENT RETREAT
April 25th – April 27th | Sonnennest, Sumvitg (GR)

THE JOURNEY
In a world that feels so disconnected, intense, and overwhelming, this retreat offers a sanctuary to realign, reset, and reconnect with your inner self. Inspired by our profound journey through the understanding of the nervous system and its impact on how we navigate our lives, we are passionate about sharing this knowledge with others. Recognizing this as one of the most profound ways to find healing and compassion for ourselves, it creates space for us to show up more authentically.
During our time together, we will explore practices and tools that help us release and shed the layers that prevent us from showing up fully. This allows us to more authentically occupy our space in the world, enriching our relationships and personal growth.
Through a blend of somatic trauma release breathwork, yoga, somatic exercise and authentic relating exercises, you will learn to remove barriers to self-awareness and cultivate deeper connections and understanding yourself and your environment. This retreat is your invitation to reclaim into your power, embrace your space, and cultivate meaningful relationships that reflect your true essence.
