Trip 4: Silent walk and art-work for healing and relaxation (Sibiu mountain area)

I was planted as a seed and have roots in those mountains. I invite you to a different experience, a recharging one, after a week of learning, changing and most probably facing your own shadows. We’ll walk in silence and awareness on an easy track in the mountains surrounding Sibiu. We will start as individuals and end like a community. We will go deep into our wisdom to find the roots of our strengths, while reflecting and being reflected by the natural elements. You will not only have you own transformative and integrating experience in nature but you can also learn to use these tools in therapy, counseling, healing the body and calming the mind.

We will have short walks (30 min. long) with different themes to reflect on and then breaks of debriefing and sharing to enlarge the space of awareness and growing organically. We will use art-work with natural elements to stabilize our awareness through personal symbols and mandala-like designs, that center our mind and clarify limits and needs.

We will also enjoy meals and snacks together and then end with a peaceful meditation around a mountain river.
