This weekend retreat offers a break from fast-paced daily life and an opportunity to reconnect with your own heart. 

Do you feel overwhelmed and depleted? Are you trying to keep up with the demands of modern life? 

Do you feel disconnected and forget to attend to yourself and those around you with genuine interest and concern? 

Do you need to boost your immunity and overall health? 

Do you need a break from social media, or simply want to spend a quiet weekend in nature? 

Join this silent weekend retreat to reestablish a connection with your authentic self, to deeply rest, and to recharge your body, heart and mind.. As a path of growth and genuine happiness you will awaken to a heartfelt concern for yourself and others.

During this retreat Marije Paternotte will offer:

- exercises to develop self-observation without judgment and foster compassion, through writing, conscious communication, and Mindfulness meditation;

- an exploration of movement (Yang yoga) and stillness (Yin yoga), as well as breathing practices, to elicit a wholesome expression of Chi in the body, fostering vitality and overall well-being.
