Illuminated Heart Retreat

The wish for connection is in every humans desire. Whether that is with themselves, their friends, family, the animals, plants, trees, whole nature or the Universe. This connection can only be truely deepen, truely heartfelt, with an open heart.

In todays fast World many of us live with a (semi) closed heart as impressions go to fast and will overwhelm us if we let everything in. So we dose the openess of our hearts. However the desire to heartfelt connections is still there and cannot be completly fullfilled most of the time.

Gift yourself a moment out of time to truely sink in the moment and feel. Allowing your heart to open in the stillness of the Arctic Nature. Where time feels non-exsistent and beauty surrounds us.

By the guidance of Angéla Kramers & Marieke Anna you will work on your emotional, spiritual & energetic heart through sound, movement and light. You will explore connections with the magical world around you here on Senja, North Norway with a complete open heart, your natural state.

Feel how your heart space expands & illuminates while in full connection with Nature, yourself and the Northern Lights. Feel the wholeness and holyness of that complete harmony within yourself, within all that IS.

Welcome to the Illuminated Heart Retreat, welcome home in your heart.

Movement

We start the day with a beautiful Qigong session followed by a hike as todays program is based on Movement. But also what moves you, what moves your heart and how to create space, create openess of the heart. We begin our Kintsugi Ritual by breaking the ceramic we brought from home, representing our heart break we want to release.

Light

As everyday we start with Chi neng Qigong, which represents Life Force, prenatal energy. Which is deeply connected to Light. According to the Northern Lights they are particles with a consciousness and are part of the Regal Elementals. Which together form: Life Force. Today's program will be all about the Teachings of the light and therefore Life Force. In and around you and how to increase it so that it will be easier to live with an open heart in modern society.
