A gem hidden in nature
Embark on a 3 days journey where we will dive deeper into the techniques of Thai healing massage. Sustained by Yoga and pre-hab movement classes, (mantra) singing sessions, a cacao ceremony and authentic relating practices.
There will be time for reading, journaling, walking in nature, connecting to others, or practicing what you learned. All sessions are optional, so you can decide on the schedule that fits your needs.
In the charming retreat centre Smalhoorn, a renovated farm surrounded by nature in Orvelte, Netherlands, with bamboo paths, farytale cottages, outdoor hot tube, cozy spaces, lots of greenery around and options to make a fire both inside and outside, it’s the perfect place to ground and relax.
A Community Based Learning Experience
This is a gentle dive into the healing impact of mindful touch on our nervous system and soul. Based on ancient principles used originally for enduring the challenges of sitting still during meditation practice, Thai massage is a technique that uses least effort and the gift of gravity, through body manipulation, movement and body weight. Dynamic Thai Massage is based on gentle rocking and harmonic movements of the different body parts. It restores rhythm in the body through a perpetual movement where the giver and receiver become more connected and balanced. In this retreat, you will learn the basic moves, by receiving and giving 2-3 sequences of massages, that will allow you to practice safely and easily. After that we will go deeper and give you many variations to add to your practice.

Each circle is unique just like each sister is. The format isn’t set in stone. A women’s circle is a fluid space that welcomes whatever shows up. It is a space for meditation, connection, and self-reflection. Women’s circles provide a safe environment free of judgement. We connect as a sisterhood, and we share our wisdom, vulnerability and experiences. We sit with an altar of meaningful objects to create a sacred environment. Music, singing, meditation, and intention setting are typical practices in a women’s circle. We hold our sisters deep in our hearts. We listen, we love, and we respect our fellow women. We feel nurtured by this protective, divine, feminine energy.
