Let your soul shine retreat

Netherlands

Let´s dive in 

We will make sure that you will feel a powerful healing energy from the moment you arrive. That this energy will be healing to your soul. Let’s tap into this energy and deepen our spirituality. Our current society is not designed for us to fully thrive in. To fully step into our highest potential, where we can thrive, and be joyful, happy and blissful. This is why it is necessary to put extra focus on self-care and self-love routines in our lives. However, with the busyness of everyday life. It doesn’t become easier to prioritize your well-being and your own needs. This is why we’ve created a let your soul shine retreat. So you can pull away, disconnect from your everyday responsibilities and reconnect with your soul. Let’s listen to what it is that your soul really needs right now. During this retreat, we have picked activities that will help you disconnect from all the wants and needs of society around you and reconnect with your own soul. So you can hear what it has been asking from you and what it needs to thrive in your life.

This journey offers you a unique chance to grow, release, heal, and surrender in an environment firmly rooted in spirituality.

THIS JOURNEY OFFERS

Program

What’s on the menu

For a deep transformation we need to work with the psychical body, the energy body, the mind, and the soul. So our program is designed in a way where we put attention on all four. During this weekend the following activities will be done to support all levels of healing.

• Cacao (optional Rapeh) ceremony. Cacao is a beautiful plant medicine and a powerful heart opener. There are countless health benefits of ceremonial cacao. Cacao releases dopamine and endorphins increasing blood flow to the brain, which strengthens focus and awareness (prevents brain fog) and helps detoxify your body. Just to name a few things. Next to the physical benefits the plant spirit of cacao is here to help us connect deeper to our emotional body and our soul. She is here to hold you and gently show you what is ready to be felt, released, or celebrated. Move you into joy, love, and radiance. She can also help you to deepen your connection with your higher self, angels, and spiritual realms. Rapeh is a plant medicine from the jungle made by the tribes. Rapeh is made of sacred tobacco leaves, also called Mapacho. Mapacho is another strong plant spirit here to guide and connect with you. Mapacho is mixed with other sacred plants (depending on the type of Rapeh). It is then burned in a ceremonial fire and turned into powder form. Rapeh also has countless health benefits. It purifies blood, clears the brain, helps to get rid of excess mucus, clears flu and cold symptoms, reliefs tension and pain in the body, expands lungs, and allergy relief. Just to name a few. Next to the physical health benefits the plant spirit is also here to clear mental and emotional blockages, bring you back into your body, and help you identify and release mental loops. It can also help you to deepen your connection with your higher self, angels, and spiritual realms.

• Breathwork. The breath is a beautiful way into our bodies. Always showing us what’s there. If we’re able to connect with it. Whenever our nervous systems are out of balance often one of the first things that will give you that signal is your breath. It will become more shallow and up into your chest. Your breath does that with a good reason. It is trying to help you energize by taking quicker inhales and shorter exhales. It is helping you not connect with the things that you’re avoiding feeling. Deep belly breaths, often show you everything that is there within your physical and emotional body. So breathwork is a powerful way to show you all of the things that you’ve been avoiding. We’ll be here to support you all the way through. Breathwork also has countless health benefits for your body. It releases toxins from your body, increases your energy levels, eliminates pain, improves sleep, helps with your digestion, strengthens your lungs, and decreases stress. Just to name a few.

MEDITATION

When you quiet the mind the soul will speak

We believe in the power of meditation. However, not everybody is able to meditate in silence for 1 hour straight. That’s why we offer a variety of meditation practices. Like dance meditation, guided meditation, etc. etc.. Meditation can be an extremely powerful tool. That’s why we will have daily meditation sessions. But let’s not make it more complicated than it is. We’ll make it accessible to all. Let’s close our eyes in order to look inside and experience the stillness we call inner peace. Let’s find the places where it hurts. Let´s heal and overcome fear and heartache. Let’s take care of ourselves in a way we were not able to in our busy lives. We are all great and magnificent. Let´s surrender to our own greatness surrender to the unlimited unconditional love living inside of us and get back to the center of our being. Now is the time to embrace ourselves with the unconditional love and care only our inner selves can offer. Inner Bliss Travels is specialized in meditation and will guide you all the way through this process in which you’ll find meditation might be just as important as the food we consume.

DAILY YOGA SESSIONS

Extremes are easy, strive for balance

Hatha & yin yoga. Hatha yoga is all about balancing your body and mind. It is super important for a transformation to take place that we include movement in our physical body. Often energies are stored there. By movement we allow our body to bring up stored energy and let it move through our bodies again. By adding some exercising we allow all the feel-good hormones to be released in our body and this supports the regulation of our nervous system. We can’t do anything with the mind if we don’t include the body. Yin yoga is amazing for restoring our nervous system. As previously described, our bodies store a lot of trauma, emotions, tension, and feelings. By holding and staying in poses longer, yin yoga is specially designed to help you feel into those and release them. Yoga is a dance between control and surrender. Between pushing and letting go.  It means rebirth, unification, and control. Yoga teaches you control of your body and mind. Therefore it automatically deepens our connection between those two aspects. It also makes us unify with the higher power. Which raises the question who are you in connection to the world? You might already have found your place or maybe you’re still looking to find that answer. Let´s find out and connect.  Because all of these aspects are involved, we at Inner Bliss Travels firmly believe yoga is a great way for taking care of your emotional and physical health all at the same time. Not to mention, yoga also reduces stress, lowers blood pressure and is great for dealing with depression and anxiety, makes you flexible, and has a great effect on your daily sleep. Do we need to say more?

TRANSFORMATIONAL EXERCISES

Inspiration feeds the soul 

We like to inspire you true our transformational exercises in which we focus on growing and expanding our spiritual growth and connecting with your inner child to create a deeper connection with your core self. We’d also like to inspire your self-love which automatically means self-care. We hope we inspire you to grow, release, explore, and heal. • Inner child- shadow- and self-love work So many of our copings mechanism or patterns in our lives have been formed in childhood. It is crucial that we understand when our inner child is active. Our weekend wouldn’t be complete if we wouldn’t include some inner child awareness and inner child work. Shadow work sounds depressing and scary to many. However, we will never be able to love ourselves fully and completely if we aren’t aware of our shadows. To be aware of our shadows is one. But how to love even those parts of ourselves that seem unlovable? Self-love isn’t complete if we only love the fun, easy, happy parts of ourselves. So to dive deep into self-love we will integrate all of these parts of us. Be willing to see all of us and to work with different self-love practices to help us increase self-love.
