Take this opportunity to ground down, connect, play and be inspired!
In our busy lives, nature often becomes something we walk through, photograph, or admire from a distance. But what if we could experience it differently? What if we could feel ourselves as part of it?
Through this retreat Gard Lervang leads participants through guided movement practices, meditation, forest bathing, and creative exercises. You'll be invited to awaken your senses, deepen your presence, and discover new ways of connecting with nature—and yourself.
Led by Gard Lervang, this retreat is about listening, moving, sensing and playing. Together, we will explore the forest as a partner, a teacher, and a space for rest, curiosity, and transformation.
This retreat is an invitation to explore the living relationship between your body and the natural world. It is for you who have been longing to slow down, reconnect with your body, and spend meaningful time in nature.
