The ancient wisdom of the Ayurveda. Shamanistic down-to-earth spirituality. The seasons and the life cycles of women. A touch of life is a weekend retreat for women that takes place throughout the year. It is best to take part in the whole cycle, but you can also take part in individual modules.
Summer. 26. – 28. June
On the retreat we will ritually celebrate womanhood in all its spectrum, with the flow of spring, the blossom of summer, the storm of autumn and the silence of winter.
We look at the woman as a natural phenomenon, moving through the year in harmony with the rhythms of nature.
We allow the reflection of nature and gender to happen and to guide. In these encounters, we experience life as a ceremony and together create a sense of unity among women that uplifts us and the world. It is a celebration of women and an experience of love! Women of all ages, young women, mothers and grandmothers are welcome. The more women of different ages, the deeper the bonding, connection and sharing will be born. Listen, share, dance, touch, cook, watch, sauna, ritualize, oil:).
Summer. 26. – 28. June
The sun is high, the energies in nature are at their most powerful at this time of year, nature is in full bloom, and so are women. Bountifulness, diversity, opportunities. Love and relationships. Sociality. Me and sister. Discovering each other and playing together. Fire. Peak physical form and growing up to be a mother in a woman’s life cycle.
The raisin of the summer retreat is, of course, the sweatbox.
The summer retreat will take place at the Jaaguranna Flower Camp.
Autumn – Winter
Maturity. Abundance. Sharing. Silence. Peace. Rest. Gratitude. Understanding. Holding. Mediation. We, the lonely. The best time to look deep within and do practices that support inner growth. A time of rest and keeping ourselves warm. A time of creating clarity. I am. Air. Solitude, the higher consciousness in a woman’s life cycle.
Spring
Flowing, awakening. Just as nature is awakening to new life, the juices are flowing, so too are women awakening to a new life cycle. Awakening into oneself. Doing a major cleanse and looking at what is, what is not, what is left over, what needs to be added. Accepting yourself. Seeing what the energies of spring offer us, what they favour. What to eat, how to move, what to pay attention to. Focusing heavily on ourselves, looking, feeling, how much energy do I have to start a new cycle of life, a new year of nature. The joy of self-discovery. The joy of play. Water. Sexual maturation and pregnancy in the female life cycle.
The meetings will take place in beautiful natural settings, in wonderful holiday cottages with all the comforts and sauna. It is best if you can take part in all four modules, as this way you will take yourself, the group and nature through a cycle of the year.
The price for one module is 222€.
The women’s retreat will be led by Kristina Paškevicius, a dance walk teacher and nature therapist at elutants.ee and Mirjam Hakkaja, a mindfulness practitioner and psychologist at ajurveeda.ee.
Venue and more information will be sent upon registration.
