Program
It is Vijnana yoga that will come into your heart. Equine therapy and Ayahuasca are helping you to find your own answers. Meditation is a way that you can use every day. It can make space in your mind so you can rest and enjoy life. Observing your body and mind with loving attention gives a lot of energy and understanding. Mindful walking is a great experience in this beautiful area. While in nature, you already gain a lot of energy. Sound healing will shift your energy.
Jim and Claudia help you to discover how you can find and preserve peace and happiness. Learn to live life instead of suffering. Through meditation, yoga, horses, sound healing, and ayahuasca, you'll learn to understand your own behavior. Moreover, this week is about surrendering to joy and good health. What does your body tell, and what does your mind tell? How do both of them react to the detox diet? This week is full of undoing, and yet the days are fulfilled. The groups are a maximum of 8 persons with the same ideals, so very often people make friendships for life. Singles, couples, and friends come for connecting, healing, and rejuvenating.
Give attention to yourself by meditating. Louise Hay's healing method and yoga Nidra are forms of meditation to unwind and gain energy. You will be accompanied on a journey through your body and mind as you lie down. By undergoing this, you will release your body and mind for a while, and you will gain energy.
On forehand, Bron voor Rust&Geluk will send you a preparation (diet) list on how to prepare in the best way for the ceremony. Also, an intakelist to make sure that it's safe for you to take Ayahuasca.
