As the summer solstice on 21st June is right in the middle of the calendar year, it's a prime time to tune into nature by reconnecting with your body. We will retreat in an amazing place immersed in the nature of the Oltrepo' Pavese where to get the best from the light and the energy of this special time of the year.
The summer solstice represents
the transition from action to nourishment, which is exactly what the Sun gives us during the long nights of summer, both to our actual crops but also to the continual journey we travel from darkness to light.
We retreat sharing the energy of these powerful days by
greeting the sun early morning on the hill, connecting to nature and rejoicing in our being part of it and of every living thing. Taking an opportunity to stop and simply revel in the abundance of the natural world while
exploring the 5 elements, connecting to the heart and fire and immersing in the water. By harnessing the energy of the sun,
we open ourselves to creativity, and to the positivity we can bring by releasing that creativity - bringing life to something (
painting, getting our hands in the soil, and much more)
"Close your eyes. Let your hands and nerve-ends drop, breathing for 3 seconds.
Listen to the silence inside the illusion of the world,
and you will remember the lessons you forgot.
It is all one vast awakened thing. I call it "the golden eternity"
