join us in crete, greece

Hello and welcome!

We, Roxana and Nina, are delighted that you have made it here and would like to find out more about our retreat.
The retreat starts directly on the day of arrival, when you will have time to explore the retreat area and its surroundings.
In the evening there will be a first meeting in a cozy atmosphere.
We get to know each other a little better and start with movement to gain a first insight into the body systems and end the evening with dinner together.
The following seminar days start with a yoga session and breakfast.
The dance therapy workshops are spread over one or two sessions a day (four hours in total), depending on the intensity of the respective body system.
At lunchtime, you have an extensive break to regenerate, swim or go on short excursions, whatever you feel like.
After dinner, you can spend the evenings as you wish or take part in one of the evening programs/specials that we have planned for you.
You will have a free day to explore the area.
Autumn on Crete is perfect for hiking along the coast and in the mountains, as well as excursions to quaint villages in the surrounding area. The temperatures are also still so pleasant that you can definitely relax on the beach and go swimming.
If you opt for the Easter Retreat 2025, you will also be able to enjoy Orthodox Easter on Crete.

 

Here is a sample daily schedule for you:
07:30 – 08:00/08:15 wake up yoga
08:30 – 09:45 breakfast
10:00 – 13:00 Dance/movement break
18:00 – 19:00 Dance/movement with massage and concluding calm down yoga/meditation
19:30 Dinner

We are all familiar with the body systems of skin, connective tissue, muscles, bones, organs, nerves and glands. They all serve our lives.
We want to take a closer look at each body system together and observe which one serves us better, which one is better known to us and which of the body systems still offers opportunities to learn something new about us.
You will be given space to discover in which of the body systems there is potential for you, e.g. to relax more or to go into your individual power.
The work with the body systems is at home in BodyMindCentering, but also offers content-related, professional connections in yoga, dance movement and dance therapy, which we can use to promote resilience and self-awareness.
Although dance therapy elements are used, the aim of the retreat is not therapy. Participants who are experienced in dance therapy are welcome to use the seminar for emotional introspection and further development in awareness of their abilities.
If you are new to dealing with your psyche or have an acute diagnosis, use the retreat for stabilization rather than for further inner work.
If you would like support with transportation from the airport to the retreat, please write to us and we will see what options are available to you!
In the attachment you will find the cancellation policy, as well as the registration form, which you should fill out and email to Roxana.
If you have any questions about accommodation and meals, please contact Roxana: roxniesemann@me.com
If you have any questions about the workshops, please contact Nina: nina.Ridderbecks@gmail.com

We are really looking forward to seeing you!

Your Nina & Roxana
