Is there anything more healing than a Safe Space of Trust, Connection and Belonging where we don’t have to hide anything and feel seen, heard, acknowledged, held and accompanied without anybody wanting to change us so that everything can transform and the best within us can surface?

Are you ready for an Adventure from the limits of the mind to the Wisdom of the Heart visiting wonderful spots out in Nature and a genuine heartfelt encounter?

What we will do and what will happen

What we all are most yearning for is to feel connected in a safe Space of Trust and Belonging. That space comes into existence when we are honest, open, vulnerable, turn our insides out and are met with an open heart without anybody elevating themselves above us.

This creates a fertile ground for honesty, openness and vulnerability where we don’t have to hide anything and therefore withdraw the energy from what is not true within us.

If we meet each other with appreciation and can be the way we are something changes by itself. If we feel and convey to each other that it has a good reason that we are the way we are miracles happen.

What seemed to be rigid, inflexible and unchangeable changes almost by itself because it isn’t fought anymore and is allowed to be.

Something new opens up when they are invited, welcome, seen, heard, held acknowledged and accompanied by others and met with the specific words they were yearning for during such a long time.

The Genuine heartfelt Encounter – Nature Retreats are a Transformational Space where we enter a world most of us might not be familiar with. We will have long walks out in Nature at the most beautiful spots on our planet. At the same time the invitation is to show interest and curiosity about the other participants’ struggles and challenges without wanting to fix, heal and repair. No Smart-Assery or Assholery with supposedly knowledgeable or wise comments, advice or solutions in order to put ourselves in the foreground and to compensate for feelings of inadequacy and shame so we can feel important, valuable and useful ;-). We can find out and check our assumptions about ourselves, others and the world toward us. We can speak about a life’s topic and tell the story self-responsibly with focus on our emotions and how we feel about it. The group will be curious and interested in inquiring in order to get the whole picture and explore the core of our being. And again without trying to fix, repair or heal. No solutions, advice or comments unless the person in focus wishes so. An unique opportunity to reconnect with our own Inner Wisdom because we don’t get the message that there is something wrong with us and that we can’t do it on our own.

What we believe ourselves to be is a mental construct. An illusion. A thought-based identity. I hides behind believes, emotions, projections, coping mechanisms and survival strategies because we are not aware of all that or because we keep all of it secret and hidden. Therefore we don’t have the opportunity to find out that most of it is not true. When we have the courage to disclose what we have been hiding for all our lives a new door opens. Especially if it feels live-threatening and like as if we were being annihilated. Then the illusion loses its grip.

The Language of Connection explores what’s here and invites, welcomes and acknowledges everything that is hidden and unconscious and meets everything with Curiosity, Humility and Compassion.

Transformation happens when we disclose and share what we usually want to keep secret and hide. When we feel seen, heard and held and our feelings and pain are acknowledged and validated a Shift happens. And we have the opportunity to find out that most of our beliefs and projections are not true which opens a new door.

Enjoy a unique and possibly live-changing opportunity to connect with Nature’s and the group’s Wisdom, Intelligence and Intuition.
