A somatic New Year's retreat

December 30 – January 2 · Butzbach · 6 women

This space is about warmth, the felt sense, our deep tissue, shedding our imaginative skin and connecting with our aspirations.

We will invite the new year and let go of what is passing.

We will get in touch with ourselves, with each other and with mother earth.

In a small group of women we will dive into nourishing bodywork, held in a circle of women.

Together we'll move, rest, sit in stillness, make things with our hands, share long meals, and welcome the new year with ritual, play, and dance. There's nothing to perform or fix, only time to arrive in your body, be held by good company, and see what wants to come with you into the year ahead.

The retreat

Somatic Movement Sessions.

Each day holds space for longer sessions of guided, nourishing body-based work, plus gentle movement to land in our bodies and the retreat body.

Nourishment.

Meals, enjoyment and cooking are a part of the retreat.

Creativity and play.

Expression in multidimensions is part of our retreat.

New Year's Eve. A ritual to close the old year, an evening feast, a New Year's dance, and a fire bowl to gather around as midnight arrives.
