Why Mountains & Movement?
Physical Vitality
Daily physicial movement in fresh mountain air will strengthen your body, increases overall vitality and helps to integrate conscious movement habits into daily life.
Connection to Nature
Nature is powerful and unconditionally loving. Connecting with her influences our state of being, imparting grounding, clarity, and renewed (creative) energy.
Mental Clarity
Up in the mountains there is not much energetic disturbance, which helps to connect with yourself on a deeper level, gaining mental clarity of who you are outside of the roles you play in society.
Ease & connect
Restoring, releasing and connecting becomes easier when we look at the simple things in life: enjoying sunlight, the sky, mother nature, our food and the presence of a group of people. This retreat is all about that.
