Embark in the Swedish wilderness for 5 days New Year Retreat.
Expand your awareness by exploring ways to reunion with nature and nurture our human wholeness.Nature and healing arts has throughout time offered us an intuitive connection and ways to expand our embodied liberation, creative potential and soul full expression. With nature, body and soul as our primary guide to conscious awareness we’ll embark on a transformational journey. End 2022 in a heart warm community and create space for new movements and intentions for 2023. The New Year is a powerful threshold and an opportunity to restore, listen deeply to the voice of nature and create anew.

Together we will explore healing arts and rituals to realign back to inner balance, a vibrant health and consciousness exploration. We journey with a wide range of practices as pathways to embodiment and soul encounter. We’ll explore ways to focus attention so that attention becomes intention. It’s a place to reclaim your inner balance, silence and magic – and potentially exploring more of your own gifts and how to bring them to the world. With nature as our greatest teacher and a community where we stand together, this retreat can strengthen our connection and relationship with the natural world, each other and renew your inner compass. This New Year retreat is a circle to honor all of our relations and Earth as a gift. A place to remember, sense and fell that people and land are good medicine for each other.

From head to feet we'll investigate the unexplored wilderness of our bodies and unfold limbs, mind, heart and soul with movement, meditation, dance, music, singing and silence. With sauna rituals we will “sweat our prayers” and reunion with nature and the elements. The art of touch, bodywork & yin yoga invites us to release tension and support the natural ability of body and mind to self-heal. With a variety of healing arts we arrive prepared to dive into the realm of silence, compassion and love. By doing the sacred work of healing one’s own heart, we can then be of service to others in a compassionate way. Rather than setting New Year resolutions based on self-improvement, we will set intentions from the heart of our being, celebrating the souls we are - beyond limiting beliefs and the illusion of separate self.

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 and soul. My inspiration is nature based traditions and healing arts across cultures and time offering us practices to re-align 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 experience, 7 years of facilitating retreats. The common thread is also experience and education within HR (Cand. Soc. HRM). A turning point in life in 2012 became a new starting point - therefore HR transformed into Human Retreat.
