Wakefulness, vitality and embodiment.  5 days retreat i Sweden

It’s a tradition in Sweden to celebrate Midsummer, which can be done in many ways. We’ll offer a midsummer filled with wakefulness, joy and deepening.

At this time of the year nature is vibrating of vitality, maybe we can find our own vitality?

It’s midsummer light, the sun doesn’t set, can we find our own inner wakefulness?

We alternate meditation in movement with sitting meditation; can we enter our body even deeper?

We use our normal wakefulness in the process of deepening our meditation, we use ordinary movements such as standing, walking, siting, lay down, in a conscious way to get deeper into the feeling of the body. Body awareness.

More of being, less of doing an accomplishing things.

We investigate how it is to be in retreat, give  space to the training and the practice.

There will be time for an individual deepening as well as we train deepening in the group.

During the retreat we will introduce you to and work with SPT, Social Presencing Theater, this to work with movements and processes in a group. Together we investigate the “we” in a wordless landscape, where we observe social patterns och purify what” I” can bring into the group.

We will be doing sitting meditations, Qi gong and we will introduce exercises and approaches that can inspire and deepen your practice even when you go back home.

 Profile of the paticipants

You are in a okay balance, you have previous experience of self-development and maybe meditation too.

You are curious to go deeper, to be more embodied and get a stronger inner anchore and balance. Maybe this will give you better conditions to get meditation into your daily life or deepen the praxis you already have with a more nuanced tone.

THE RETREAT PLACE

The retreat will take place in northern Jämtland, a sparsely populated forest and mountain district in Sweden. The houses are traditional Swedish wooden houses, and they are surrounded by a big flower and kitchen garden that provides organic food as well as space for contemplation.

The property is not isolated from the outside world, as it is close to the road and there are neighbors around, however the large garden creates a feeling of protection and peace. Within a stone’s throw away you will find wild nature; forest, rivers and lakes. Anders and Vivian Fabricius own and live at the property since 1994, and for 30 years they have been working on the special qualities of calm and care that permeates the retreat place.
