In The Initiation Path Retreat you will learn how to get in touch with your feelings, memories and information stored in the body. You will get to know yourself more by reflecting on the way you breathe, the way you feel and the way you communicate this to others. 

Through honest self inquiry you will discover which essential qualities belong to you and which ones want to be expressed in your life. 

​

This retreat will offer a lot of added value in professions where people work with other people. After all, the emphasis is on the relationship between body and mind, on body awareness, on learning to feel and to deal with emotions and above all…. being present with what life has to offer, no matter how that looks like. 

​

Our students (of all ages!) come from various backgrounds, interests, studies and professional directions. Whoever you are and whatever profession you practice, working on your personal development has a positive, profound and healing effect on yourself and your environment.

 

The Initiation Path Retreat is also a meaningful addition to professionals in people-oriented and (para) medical professions, such as coaches, trainers, HR,  psychotherapists, psychologists and holistic body workers.

Entheobreath® work

The breath work method we are using at ALUNA is a conscious diaphragmatic breathing technique. By breathing in a connected fashion, breath work has the capacity to affect not only the physical aspects of our bodies but also the emotional, mental and spiritual bodies as well.​

​

Yoga 

Any mental, emotional and spiritual transformational process calls for a change in the physical body as well. To support and facilitate your personal transformative process you will be guided through a daily practice of conscious movement. 

​

Inner Child concept

Through listening to the subjective story of your inner child you will start to feel more compassionate with yourself and you will be able to establish emotional safety within yourself. Feeling emotionally safe is the basis/groundwork for everything else you want to learn and do in life. 

 

Self Inquiry

Through mindful self-inquiry you will learn to examine your self-worth and sense for self, your stories, beliefs and judgements. By doing so you will create a greater presence and space within yourself.

 

Vocal toning

Toning and chanting reconnects you to your own voice. Through the voice we communicate our needs, we set healthy boundaries, communicate our feelings and our love. You will learn how to become more intimate and at ease with the sound of your own voice. A strong voice grounds us, gives us projection and presence with all we do. 

 

Meditation

Through meditation you learn how to stay present in the now. Through mediation we enhance our focus and become more mindful in our interactions. You will learn how to be comfortable with silence.

 

Sharing circles

Through sharing circles you will learn how to communicate your feelings, how to be vulnerable in the presence of others and how to listen mind & heart-fully to your fellow initiates. 

 

Plant medicines

Ayahuasca, Psilocybin and Rapé are the plant medicines we will use in this retreat. With those magical plant medicines you will further connect to life and the divine.
