RETREAT 

SOURCE OF CREATIVITY & SOUL GIFTS

Embark into the Swedish wilderness for 4 days spring retreat. Reunion with nature and healing arts as a path to realign your inner compass and nurture your soul gifts. Nature and healing arts has throughout time offered us an intuitive connection and ways to expand our embodied liberation, creative potential and soul full expression. Together we investigate the relation between nature, human creativity, soul care and soul gifts. We are exploring and playing in a creative magical realm – from the source of who we are as unique souls in the world – in heart warm community. The retreat community is a state of being, belonging, and reciprocity. It is the practice of living in friendship within ourselves, with one another, with the more-than-human world, and with the world at large.

We’ll explore shamanic methods and embodied practice for further developing and strengthening one’s senses, creativity, imagination and soul gifts. This retreat is a discovery of what truly matters in you through listening to the body, listening to the heart and tending to your soul. Encountering our bodies creatively, we discover artful ways to re-story ourselves, bringing new vision to life. It’s an opportunity to free yourself from baggage that gets in the way of acting according to your true nature. It’s a way of touching the intuitive moments and let it guide you. It’s a way of learning to tune out – to tune in. We gather in an environment where you’re free to express what you’re afraid to express. We will explore deeply and catalyze new courage, passion and gratitude to bring back into our lives. It’s a circle to reclaim your inner balance, silence, love and magic – and potentially exploring more of your own gifts, passion and how to bring them to the world. With nature, body and soul as our primary guide to conscious awareness we’ll embark on a transformational journey in a heart warm community

The practice spring from nature-based cultures, ceremonies and rituals inside and outside - it’s an reintroduction of ancient techniques in a modern world. Nature and shamanism offers humans an ancient approach to nurture our soul, creative potential, intuition and imagination – it’s healing medicine in modern times. From head to feet we'll investigate the unexplored wilderness of our bodies and unfold limbs, mind and soul with movement, meditation, dance, yoga, breathwork, music, singing and silence. We’ll feel the heat with sauna rituals and let our cells vibrate to the rhythms of the drums – and learn about the altered state of mind. You’ll learn more about the dance with voice of the soul, the ego as creative force and how to use your imagination on your path. We’ll listen to our inner calling when we embark in wilderness and let nature be our greatest teacher. Being still in nature, alone, is our portal home.

This retreat is an invitation to celebrate our human heritage as creative creatures who can generate our own inner magic and be of service with our gifts to the world. It’s an invitation to remember that humans in community with heart language is vital to restore and re-story ourself and our connection to the Earth. It’s a circle to honor your soul journey, all of our relations and Earth as a gift.

EXPLORE RETREAT

“Your soul, in other words, corresponds to what poet David Whyte refers to as “the largest conversation you can have with the world” or “the truth at the center of the image you were born with. This niche, this conversation, this truth, this image, is not primarily cultural or merely human; rather it is ecological and mythopoetic, which is to say clothed and communicated in the metaphors, symbols, images, dreams, archetypes of nature and of our own wild minds.”  Bill Plotkin, Nature & the Human Soul.

FACILITATOR
Anne Mette Buch Bertelsen balanced.dk

As a founder of Balanced Retreat, I’m dedicated to helping people find a more meaningful way to connect to nature, body, intuition and soul. My inspiration is nature based traditions and healing arts across cultures and time. I’m passionate about reintroducing ancient techniques in a modern world which offers us practices to realign our inner compass, conscious exploration and unfold our soul full creative expression. My path lead me to Esalen Institute in California, teachers in shamanism as Anette Høst & Sandra Ingermann, 10 years meditation with Jesper Westmark, 20 years of modern dance, body work and yoga in various forms. 15 years of teaching and 7 years of facilitating retreats. The thread is also experience and education within Human Resource (Cand. Soc. HRM). A turning point in life in 2012 became a new starting point - therefore HR transformed into Human Retreat.

“The breezes at dawn
have secrets to tell you
Don't go back to sleep!
You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep!
People are going back and forth
across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch,
The door is round and open
Don't go back to sleep!”
― Rumi
