Theme & Topic
Psychoactive truffles show us our true nature and also the mask or personality we had to build up in our childhood in order to maintain the pseudo-connection with our caretakers.
This mask, personality or role was essential and life-saving during our childhood and necessary for our survival. We had to suppress our feelings, certain qualities and also the pain related to our self-betrayal because it would have been unbearable to constantly face it. Very few caretakers love their children unconditionally and accept all their traits.
So we had to suppress everything that was not welcomed and adopt qualities that pleased our caretakers. Which seemingly became ours but actually didn't. Since most of us didn't feel neither physically nor emotionally held we turned to our mind for support to feel comforted and developed a close relationship with it. Our mind's main purpose is to keep us safe and to distract us from our emotional pain that seems life-threatening.
Unfortunately that creates a lot of suffering since it prevents us from connecting authentically to ourselves and others. We have lost touch with our body, our feelings and our inner guidance system like intuition, inspiration, gut feeling and heart intelligence and believe that we can solve and grasp everything with the mind. Connection to ourselves and others on an inauthentic mental level is completely impossible and therefore we indulge in compensation strategies and addictions like consume, power, recognition, overeating, drugs, alcohol, money and relationships in order to fill our insatiable inner void which can never be filled with anything from the outside world.
The truffles can show us how easy it can be to be happy ...
"Let your Heart be touched by the Miracles that happen when you feel profoundly connected and don’t have to be anybody!’
What we will do and what will happen
Have you ever experienced what happens when you feel profoundly connected?
When you get in touch with others on a really deep level?
Feel safe and at ease?
And can relax more and more into yourself?
Which brings out the best in you?
And connects you to your Truth and inner Wisdom?
The point of all our Retreats is to offer an opportunity to grow into a new attitude of communicating and relating. To create a safe transformational space from that new perspective where real and deep connection can happen. Then our nervous system has the possibility to calm down and our own inner truth and wisdom can surface.
In a solution and advice oriented society where we are very eager to find a quick fix on a symptom, behaviour, strategy and action level the real causes for most of our problems stay untouched.
On Saturday morning we will do the Psychoactive Inner Journey. The next day we will spend out walking at beautiful spots in nature. Nevertheless the real focus is on a safe space where we can share our heart honestly and vulnerably. An environment where we get curious and dive deeply into each other's worlds without wanting to change anything about them. We will discover what it feels like when our peculiarities are welcomed, acknowledged and appreciated.
Transformation happens when we welcome what 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".
And maybe get to the core and real cause why each one is, feels, behaves and acts the way we do. And also why we believes what we believe. And that all that used to make perfect sense to be able to survive.
Realizing all that starts an unstoppable transformation because we cease resisting difficult parts and states in ourselves and begin meeting them with compassion and understanding.
And all what we have kept trapped within us and what has been blocking us can be liberated.
“Only when Compassion is present will we allow ourselves to see the Truth.”
That's when our true potential starts shining through.
And "JUST PURE BEING" effortlessly happens.
And we discover and get to know parts of ourselves that we couldn’t even imagine.
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.
