"Let yourself be touched by the Connection and the Miracles that happen when we feel listened to, seen, accompanied, understood and don't have to be anybody!"
What we will do and what will happen
Have you ever had the impression that people are genuinely interested and curious about you and not about what they have to say?
Without making statements and comments about you that don't really help, create division and lead you to feeling awkward and result in closing yourself up and getting defensive?
A conversation where you feel that it is really about you and that creates connection, trust and a sense of safety as if you were coming home?
In a solution and advice oriented society where we often find a quick fix on a symptom, behaviour, strategy and action level the real causes for most of our problems stay untouched.
In the "Just Pure Being" Retreats we will spend most of the time walking at beautiful spots out in nature as designated further below. Nevertheless the real focus is on a space where we can talk about ourselves honestly and vulnerably. An environment where we get curious and dive deeply into each other's worlds and are with each other in each other's respective wold without wanting to change anything about it. And therefore refraining from giving well meant advice, solutions and diagnosis which mostly address the symptom level and never get to the real cause of our inner conflicts and struggles. And are mostly aimed at getting rid of uncomfortable feelings and states. Which actually perpetuates them. We will discover what it feels like to acknowledge and appreciate each one's peculiarities. And maybe get to the core why each one is the way he is.
Being with each other in Humility, Curiosity and Compassion can be a life-changing experience!
All of our behaviours, attitudes, beliefs and strategies were vital at one time and saved our lives in the environment we grew up in. We couldn't be different because our system found the exact right way to cope. When all this is acknowledged, appreciated and met with compassion a deeper dimension can open up within ourselves since we don't have to explain, defend and protect ourselves anymore and can therefore relax and "JUST SIMPLY BE".
That's when our true potential starts shining.
And "JUST PURE BEING" effortlessly happens.
The whole journey will be spontaneous and dynamic with guidance and activities in the morning and evening circles and the possibility to pick individual processes with the involvement of the whole group if necessary.
Every retreat will be a unique experience and is therefore complementary to all the other ones and not so much about what we do but how we do it and growing into a new attitude of communicating and relating with each other.

If you arrive in Italy by public transport you will need a seat in a car to get to the starting locations every morning at the Cinque Terre villages.
