20. – 23.6.2019 Reconnect to Nature – Yoga-Retreat on Summer Solstice

We want to invite you to leave your daily life behind you and connect with yourself and the natural environment around you. If you want to change to the German description please follow this link. 

Get immersed into the beautiful nature around you and find calmness in the peaceful seclusion of the countryside. With the practice of yoga, deep ecology and permaculture a holistic program awaits you to celebrate the transformation of the light. Every day will have a different spiritual and physical focus. In the mornings we will start with breathing techniques and meditations, followed by a 1,5h Jivamukti Yoga class, which are flowing, dynamic and powerful. In the late afternoon we will teach either soothing 1,5h Yin Yoga classes or work on specific asanas (e.g. backbends, inversions, etc.). In every yoga class we use music and hands-on-assists in order to deepen and round off your personal practice.

Furthermore, we will use various methods and practices inspired by deep ecology, permaculture, Gestalt therapy and spiritual activism to connect with nature and our real beings. The practices will be taught freely since there should be enough time for you to wander on the site, the bordering forest and fields, jump into the fresh pond and find quietness through observation.

In the evenings we will sing, dance, hold ceremonies or give you time to do whatever you feel like. On the night of the 21st we will celebrate together the night of the summer solstice with a connecting ceremony. Be there with us to praise the most precious and lightest time of the year!

When Where & How to Get There

The Yoga Retreat will take place from June 20th to 23rd 2019 in the “Zukunftszentrum Nieklitz” in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (North of Germany). The site is a beautifully area of 10ha committed to ecology, sustainability and transformation and is managed collectively by a loving community.
