*********************
“The breezes at dawn
have secrets to tell you
Don't go back to sleep!
You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep!
People are going back and forth
across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch,
The door is round and open
Don't go back to sleep!”
― Rumi
*********************

Embark into the Swedish forrest for 5 days Summer Soul Journey. Expand your awareness by tending inner and outer wilderness. With nature, body and soul as our primary guide we’ll embark on a transformational journey. A space to create intimacy with nature, connect with wisdom traditions and nurture our human wholeness. We’ll explore a wide range of soulcraft practices as a pathway to magnify our lifeenergy, senses and open a door to listen to the voice of your soul and magnify your vision. With nature as our greatest teacher and a community where we stand together, this retreat can deepen our connection, understanding, and relationship with ourselves, others and the natural world. The Summer Soul Journey is experiential, intense and full of magic.

The practice spring from nature-based cultures, ceremoniers and rituals inside and outside. It is an intertwining of body awareness, soul, science and stories – old stories and new stories that can be medicine for our journey in life and our relationship to Nature. You are invited to let yourself be touched by the healing beauty of inner and outer wild nature.

Each of us is born with a treasure, an essence, a seed of potential in the center of our own being. This tressure is yours to develop, embody and offer in this life. This retreat is a journey to explore the pathways and potential of how to ”embody your gifts” and listen to the voice of your intuition and soul. Your ”sacred work” is what nature-based traditions call our giveaway to our people and place”. If you long for a vision and equally a way to carry that vision as a gift to others, this week has the potential to magnify your vision and path in life. 5 days that can help expand and unfold the first steps on your soul journey – or deepen and strengthen the journey you’ve been travelling for a while. If we want something to ”walk with us” we need to embody it - this is a space for our cells to integrate, wonder, listen and embody our intentions.

With nature, body and soul as our primary guide you’re invited into a circle that has potential to magnify your life energy and fell a sense of belonging with nature and a heartwarming community.

We journey with soulcraft practices as a pathways to embodiment and soulencounter. We’ll explore how to ”reunion with nature”, deepen our sensory awareness and focus attention so that attention becomes intention. 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 and silence.
We’ll fell the heat in the sweat logde. We’ll let our cells vibrate to the rythm of the drums. And we’ll listen to our inner calling when we embark on a 8 hour vision quest in the forrest. We alternate between practices utilized in groups, practices explored in solitude in nature, and sharing and deepening those experiences in circles.

Immerse in nature with an intimate soul journey, practice awareness and community, and learn fundamental skills to feel at home on the earth and listening to your body, intuition and voice of your soul. Join an embodied inquiry into courage, curiosity, interconnectedness and soulcraft. A circle to honour all of our relations and Earth as a gift. A place to remember, sense and fell that people and land are good medicin for each other.

FACILITATORS
Anne Mette Buch Bertelsen
My inspiration is nature, body and soul as our primary guide to conscious presence and vitality. My inspiration is especially nature based traditions and shamanism - and the meeting between east and west, as well as practices that build bridges between cultures over time. Education from Esalen Institute in California, around the world and Denmark. Important teachers in shamanism are: Anette Høst & Sandra Ingermann. Meditation & Self Compassion with Jesper Westmark & Christofer Germer. Modern dance/impro with Jenny Major, 5 Rytms at Esalen, Yoga and body work is various forms. I have 25 years of movement background and 10 years of teaching experience – 5 years of facilitating retreats.
The common thread is also experience and education within HR (Cand. Soc. HRM), communication, team management, teaching, as well as consulting & coaching. A turning point in life became a new starting point - therefore HR for me transformed into
Human Retreat .....!

CO-FACILITATOR
CHARLOTTE RUNGE
BodyMENTOR, transformational guide and intuitive healer.
I help starseeds, sensitive people and light workers connecting deeply with their body so they can find peace.
For the last 20 years I have been passionated about combining bodywork, movement and dance with deep personal transformation for both adults and children. I am a Physio Therapist and Bach. Scient in Sport Science so my work is always grounded in my knowledge about our body and nervous system and how we can work with it both physically, mentally and energetically. I have a deep passion for combining science and spirituality.
Through retreats, workshops and education I hold space for that people can connect deeper with who they truly are on a soul level so they can embody life authentically.

CO-FACILITATOR
JONAS GOLTERMANN
I have always been deeply connected to nature, and in the forest I seek peace and healing powers. Here I find inspiration for my spiritual life and for unfolding creative energy. I facilitate sweat lodge events, bonfire ceremonies, meditative nature walks, creative workshops in nature, and I’m working with the rewilding of nature.

I use creativity, improvisation and playfulness as part of my method of immersion. Since 1999, I have had a meditation practice rooted in the Center for Growth (Vækstcenteret) pedagogy and followed courses with Jes Bertelsen and a number of other teachers at the center. I train body-energy work and was trained by Helen Gamborg in the teachings of Bob Moore about healing and body-energy. As a professional architect, my work is most often rooted in inspiration I get from nature: Seeing and finding the places of power in nature is my strong and deep-felt passion.
