SUMMARY:Conscious Connection Retreat #2
DESCRIPTION:  \nWhat does it mean to be human? \n\nPerhaps it is to feel connected. \nConnected to our bodies\, to the land beneath our feet\, \nto the food that nourishes us\, to one another\, and to ourselves. \nYet in modern life\, these connections can easily fade into the background. \nWe spend much of our time indoors\, moving from one responsibility to the next. \nWe are constantly connected through our phones and social media\, \nyet authentic human connection can feel increasingly rare. \nAmidst the noise and stimulation of daily life\, \nit can become difficult to hear our own inner voice and remember what truly matters. \nAt times\, we are called to step back and re-treat from the pace of everyday life. \nTo slow down. To breathe. To create space for presence\, reflection\, and reconnection. \n  \n  \n \n. \n \n  \nWe invite you to reconnect with your body\, your mind\, and the natural world around you.\nFeel the earth beneath your feet. Wake with the rhythm of nature.\nReturn to the simplicity of the present moment. \nHeld on a beautiful permaculture farm in rural France\,\nthis retreat offers an opportunity to immerse yourself in a more grounded way of living.\nSurrounded by forests\, open fields\, and animals\,\nyou will experience the restorative power of nature and community. \n  \n. \n  \nThrough daily movement practices\, yoga\, meditation\, phone-free days\,\nand silent mornings\, you are given the space to gently reconnect with yourself.\nThrough a hands-on permaculture workshop\,\nyou will deepen your connection with the land\, learn how food is grown\,\nand rediscover the relationship between nourishment\, nature\, and daily life. \nIn a small group of like-minded individuals\,\nwe create a safe and supportive space for conscious connection.\nThrough guided practices and shared experiences\,\nyou will explore what it means to meet yourself and others with presence\,\nopenness\, authenticity\, and intention. \n  \n    \n  \nThis retreat is an invitation to slow down\, deepen awareness\,\nand cultivate meaningful connection with yourself\, others\, nature\, and the land that sustains us. \nTo remember what it means to be human. \n  \n  \n \nSubject to change \n  \nThursday \n16:00 – 18:00 Arrival & Check-in\n19:00 Dinner\n20:00 Opening Ceremony \nFriday \nSilent Morning \n08:00 Yoga\n09:00 Breakfast\n11:00 Permaculture Workshop\n13:00 Lunch\n14:30 Nature Meditation & Conscious Gardening\n17:00 Free Time\n18:30 Sharing Circle\n19:00 Dinner\n20:00 Authentic Relating & Connection Practices \nSaturday \nSilent Morning \n08:00 Yoga\n09:00 Breakfast\n11:00 Workshop of Choice\n13:00 Lunch\n14:00 Optional Nature Hike\n17:00 Cacao Ceremony\n18:00 Ecstatic Dance\n19:30 Dinner \nSunday \nSilent Morning \n08:00 Yoga\n09:00 Breakfast\n11:00 Workshop of Choice\n13:00 Lunch\n15:00 Conscious Gardening\n18:00 Dinner\n20:00 Fire Ceremony & Closing Circle \n  \n  \n \n. \n      \n           \n. \n  \n \n  \nWe offer free pick-up from Flers station (Normandy)\, which is easily accessible from Paris.
