https://www.balanced.dk/sommer-retreat/

Embark into the Swedish forest for 4 days retreat, nature quest and soul journey. Reunion with nature, realign your inner compass and drink deeply from the well of nature. With nature, body and soul as our primary guide to conscious awareness we’ll embark on a transformational journey. It’s a journey to remember, sense and feel that people and land are good medicine to each other. It’s an invitation to remember that humans in community with heart language is vital to restore and re-story ourself and our connection to nature. It’s a place to reclaim your inner balance, silence, magic and love– and potentially exploring more of your own gifts and how to bring them to the world.

We will bring together wisdom from nature-based cultures, healing arts and embodied practice and touch upon why it’s important for continuing a sustainable existing in our modern society. We intertwine old stories and new stories that can be medicine for our journey in life and our relationship to Nature. It’s an reintroduction of ancient techniques in a modern world. Together we will explore practice and rituals to help us slip out of our everyday lives and access our own deeper, wilder and silent currents.

Our bodies are the keystone to sense and feel our relationship with ourselves, each other and the natural world.
From head to feet we'll investigate the unexplored wilderness of our bodies and unfold limbs, mind and soul with movement, meditation, dance, yoga, breathwork, music, singing, stories and silence. We’ll feel the heat in with sauna rituals and listen to the rhythms of the drum. We’ll listen to our inner calling when we embark on a 4-12 hour mini vision quest in the forest. The contemporary western path of the ancient vision quest is a wilderness rite for all who are seeking greater depth, clarity inside and long for ways to reunion with nature.

THE RETREAT EXPLORES AND INCLUDE:
* 4 days retreat at a magical lake & forest
* Nature Based Rituals & Healing Arts
* Ways to reunion with the elements & nature

Moving with intention our awareness can expand and become more receptive to the intelligence of nature inside us and around us. By cultivating an inner quiet and curious soul we can learn from nature as a teacher. When we experience ourselves as interconnected in the lager web of life we have an opportunity to sense the intuitive realms of Nature and the more-than-human guidance. We invite in practice of living in friendship within ourselves, with one another and with the more-than-human world. We explore a state of being, belonging, and reciprocity – with all our relations.

Although our lives sometimes can be mundane, our existence is a miracle to celebrate – from the cellular to the galactic, a vast and brilliant web of connections and relations. This retreat is an invitation to celebrate our human heritage as creative soul full creatures who can generate our own inner ecstatic pleasures. Supported by nature and a heart warm community we will explore deeply and catalyze new courage, resources, gratitude and love to bring back into our lives. Everybody are welcome.

FACILITATORS
Anne Mette Buch Bertelsen
As a founder of Balanced Retreat, I’m dedicated to helping people find a more meaningful way to connect to nature, body, intuition and soul. My inspiration is nature based traditions and healing arts across cultures and time. I’m passionate about reintroducing ancient techniques in a modern world which offers us practices to realign our inner compass, conscious exploration and unfold our soul full creative expression. My path lead me to Esalen Institute in California, teachers in shamanism as Anette Høst & Sandra Ingermann, 10 years meditation with Jesper Westmark, 20 years of modern dance, body work and yoga in various forms. 15 years of teaching and 8 years of facilitating retreats. The thread is also experience and education within Human Resource (Cand. Soc. HRM). A turning point in life in 2012 became a new starting point - therefore HR transformed into Human Retreat.
