Feed your Spirit Retreat No. 2
Date
It was time for our second Feed your Spirit retreat in the Allgäu. This time at the start of the year in January. January is a special month in which we can consciously align ourselves for the rest of the year. Our retreat was an invitation to gather inspiration that can accompany the year and feel nourishing in order to consciously lay a foundation for the year.
One day before the retreat began, we set off early in the morning in cold Hamburg – Janine, Doro, Mia and I in a car that was once again packed to the rafters, although we had sworn to ourselves the first time that we would pack less the second time. Very difficult to manage with all the kitchen utensils for the cooking classes that were to take place again. But we found room to sit down and after a cozy drive, a winter wonderland awaited us in the Allgäu.
We immediately felt so blessed again by this wonderful place. An evening and morning full of preparations later, the first participants arrived and ended up in their rooms for a moment after the journey until everyone was there.
Then we opened this shared space with an Opening Circle, spoken and carried by Mama Cacao with a little cacao ritual, which was the beginning of 4 very pleasant days, held by the community, by the breathtakingly beautiful snowy landscape and by inspiration.
We moved through yoga classes together, danced, shook off everything we no longer needed for the new year and relaxed together in front of the fireplace.
We prepared food together, marveled at the ingredients in gratitude, enjoyed nourishing hot meals, learned from each other and gathered a lot of inspiration from Janine’s ÆNDRÈ way of cooking.
These were very special days that will stay in our hearts forever and we are already looking forward to offering our retreat again in the future.
Feed your spirit.
