    As children, we lived in a magical world of vivid imagination, where trees could become beings and nature seemed to speak to us. Even as adults, we have the ability to develop imagery that connects us to our inner strength and wisdom, enhances our creative potential, and helps us build resilience. This can support us in finding solutions and coping with the challenges life presents.

    In this workshop, you will learn how to use imagery to develop meaningful tools that will enrich your life. Guided walks in nature will help fill you with positive energy and offer opportunities to meditate on your future and the future of the world. This workshop is for anyone interested in exploring their imagination and discovering the treasures within.

    By focusing on both the theoretical and practical aspects of imagery, this workshop aims to empower individuals and professionals to utilize these techniques for themselves and their clients.

    The retreat will be followed by a Zoom meeting, supporting you in practicing imagery in your daily life and continuing a creative journey of self-discovery.

During your stay, you can enjoy gentle yoga, qigong, massage therapy, and meditation - to promote relaxation. Alternatively, you may choose to simply enjoy the tranquillity of the space, embracing the art of doing nothing. Imagine cozying up by a warm fire, savouring delicious vegetarian meals, and immersing yourself in silence. This time out offers a slower rhythm, allowing you to step back from the busyness of life and find peace within.
