Re-fill, Re-feel: Healing Touch & Deep Listening

As we step into the transition of a New Year, we invite you to a space of deep replenishment. This is our fifth year hosting this retreat at Nøsen, and as we grow, our practice continues to evolve. We invite you to leave behind the rigidity of daily life and the rush of new beginnings. Instead, we invite you to slow down, take up space, and return to your natural state of being.

Our work is rooted in over two decades of exploring movement, touch, sound, and stillness. While our backgrounds involve dance, Qigong, somatics, bodywork, music, and voice, we no longer see them as separate practices. They all point toward the same experience: softening effort, listening deeply, and trusting the body's innate intelligence. This retreat is not about learning another technique, but about remembering a more natural way of being—where movement becomes meditation, touch becomes listening, and presence becomes the ground from which healing and creativity arise.

This retreat is designed for those who have a curiosity about their own body’s intelligence. It is for the person who wants to move beyond "effort" and strain, and instead learn to listen to what the body and deeper parts of us truly need.

If you are looking for a soft, intuitive way to relate to yourself and others, if you wish to explore how movement, breath, touch and stillness can create space for healing, and if you feel called to meet life’s tensions with more ease and flow: this space of exploration is for you.

We wish to present an ecology of practices designed to reconnect us deeper to ourselves and our natural beingness. We do not aim for perfect forms, but for an honest expression of the inner self. Through a blend of Qi Gong, bodywork, intuitive dance, and therapeutic voice expressions, we engage the body-mind system in its most natural and perhaps intrinsic way.
