Yoga
Sunrise sessions every morning welcome and appreciate the new day. Yoga and other exercises wake up your physical body, create a nice feeling in your emotional body, balance your mind, set clear intentions, and tune in to your spiritual body.
Horse riding
Horses detect and expose every nuance in your personality and will tirelessly tell you about it. Use the horse to learn more about yourself, as a spiritual animal or just enjoy being with them. They can teach you patience, how to be focused, to exist in the moment, and how to enjoy life.
When horses are free they “hang” together. They don't do very much- saving energy in case they need to escape. People are mostly “doers”. They want to do, see results, they have prestige and judgments about what is right or wrong. Learn the difference between doing and being. The difference between head and heart, between thinking and feeling. The horses can teach you how to just be, and hang together. Try to BE, even when you do things.
Peter Hess® Sound Massage
The session typically starts with the client lying down comfortably on a massage table, fully clothed. Each session is tailor-made to suit the needs of the client. Tibetan singing bowls are placed on or around the body, often on specific energy centers or chakras, and played with a mallet. The resonant sounds and vibrations emitted by the singing bowls are thought to gently balance and harmonize the body’s energy, facilitating relaxation and a sense of inner calm. The vibrations and frequencies produced are said to penetrate deeply into the body, helping to release tension, reduce stress, and induce a meditative state.
Moon Ceremony
A celebration to the Moon
It can be done in many ways. In summer just laying down looking at the sky is an amazing experience. In colder seasons a Yoga Moon Salutation might be a better choice. We use crystals and have different themes according to the lunar phases and what astrological sign the moon is in.
First quarter symbolizes action, decision-making, and overcoming obstacles, all crucial aspects of personal growth. Think of it as the universe’s way of giving you a gentle nudge to start putting your plans into motion. To manifest your New Moon intentions.
Full Moon shines the light on things that might have been hidden or unseen. During the full moon phase, the sun’s opposition to the moon represents a peak of energy, clarity and intuition. This is the time to see yourself clearly, to look inwards and not push your body to hard. Full Moon is about completion. Rest in who and where you are. Apreciate what you have achived. Moon Bathing is said to be benefiscial. Going into water is said to make you absorb her powerful energy even more. So why not dive into our infinity pool. It’s a moment to pause, reflect, and connect with your inner self. Spiritually, it helps cleanse negative energy, enhance emotional release, and encourage a deeper sense of calm. Charging crystals under the full moon is a powerful and ancient ritual rooted in the belief that the moon’s energy can cleanse, amplify and recharge a crystal’s inherent properties.
Last quarter reflect and release. Let go of what doesnt serve you and prepare for new beginings
New Moon is the best time for star gazing. As you are in the middle of a natural park far away from city and town lights you will be amazed how many stars you can see. The moon is in conjunction with the sun and thus in the current zodiac sign for the period. Now its time to set new intentions. This is the time to plant new seeds, both in garden and in life. Seeds of intention – goals, dreams, or aspects of ourselves we wish to cultivate. Just as a seed requires darkness to germinate, our own transformations often begin in the quiet hush of introspection. One way to do that is to build your own crystal grid.
Crystals
You can use crystals in a grid to amplify your intentions. If you dont know anything about crystals you just choose the ones you like intuitively. If you want help to choose crystal with specific properties and benefits I am happy to assist. Crystals is also helpfull during meditation. Especially chakra meditations where a crystal connected to the chakra you works with can be used.
All tuition is tailor-made to suit each individual's level and preferences, starting with the basics. The stable has all-around saddles, The bridles are single bridles. The retreat also includes meditation, mindfulness, yoga, core, qigong, a nice walk, fresh wind, sunshine, birds singing, and lovely views, as well as coaching in a “guiding to find your own insights” way.
Included excursions
- 3-hour trail ride in the beautiful nature park or a relaxing massage
