“All is known in the sacredness of silence.” – Rumi

Det er med stor glede jeg inviterer deg til en helg dedikert til stillhet, spiritualitet og regenerering – i naturskjønne og fredelige omgivelser på Dharma Mountain.

Dette retreatet er en invitasjon til å lytte dypere inn i din egen natur, å lande i kroppen og åpne for den indre stemmen – den som bor i stillheten. Her skaper vi et hellig rom hvor du kan huske – re-member – hvem du er i essens.

Hva du kan forvente

I løpet av helgen vil du bli guidet gjennom en helhetlig reise som kombinerer stillhet, bevegelse og spirituell praksis:

• Stillhet mellom øktene – for integrasjon og tilstedeværelse
• Meditasjon – både guidet og i stillhet
• Yoga Nidra – dyp hvile, lucid dreaming og regenerering
• Mantrasang – som åpner hjertet og skaper resonans
• Kakao-seremoni – en hjertemyk åpning til kontakt og takknemlighet
• Lysseremoni – for intensjon og forbindelse i kjærlighet
• Biodanza-vivencias (med musikk)– dans for embodiment, kontakt og ekspansjon av bevissthet
• Solhilsen ved elva – for de som liker tidlige morgener

Tentativ tidsplan (med forbehold om endringer)

For hvem?

Dette er en helg for deg som:

• ønsker å dykke dypere inn i hjertets og kroppens visdom
• lengter etter stillhet og regenerering og som samtidig vet at det er godt å integrere dette med dans, musikk og felleskap
• ønsker å styrke kontakten med din spirituelle dimensjon
• vil dele et nærende og trygt rom – også i stillhet – med andre

Velkommen til reMembrance.
Et rom for å komme hjem – til deg selv, til naturen og til det hellige i det enkle.

Åpent for alle som føler seg tiltrukket av denne invitasjonen med dens forskjellige former. Du trenger ikke å ha mye erfaring med biodansa. Men det er bra å ha prøvd det minst én gang.

English: 

It is with great pleasure that I invite you to a weekend dedicated to silence, spirituality and regeneration – in the beautiful and peaceful surroundings of Dharma Mountain.

This retreat is an invitation to listen more deeply into your own nature, to land in your body and open to the inner voice – the one that lives in the silence. Here we create a sacred space where you can remember – re-member – who you are in essence.

What to expect

During the weekend you will be guided through a holistic journey that combines silence, movement and spiritual practice:

Silence between sessions – for integration and presence
Meditation – both guided and silent
Yoga Nidra – deep rest, lucid dreaming and regeneration
Mantra chanting – which opens the heart and creates resonance
Cocoa ceremony – a heart-warming opening to contact and gratitude
Light ceremony – for intention and connection in love
Biodanza-vivencias (with music) – dance for embodiment, contact and expansion of consciousness
Sun salutation by the river – for those who like early mornings
Tentative schedule (subject to change)

For whom?

This is a weekend for you who:

- want to dive deeper into the wisdom of the heart and body
- long for silence and regeneration and who at the same time know that it is good to integrate this with dance, music and community
- want to strengthen the connection with your spiritual dimension
- want to share a nourishing and safe space – also in silence – with others

Welcome to reMembrance.

A space to come home – to yourself, to nature and to the sacred in simplicity.

Who can join:

Open for everyone that feels attracted to this invitation with its different modalities. You do not need to have a lot of experience with biodanza. But it is good to have tried it at least once.   

You need to have a healthy relation with self-regulation/containment.

If you have psychotic tendencies you cannot attend.

You also need to be drug free.

Teaching language:

If all participants understand Norwegian, I will teach in Norwegian.

If we have participants who do not understand Norwegian, I will teach everything in English, and not in Norwegian.

  

Location: Dharma Mountain
I have had the pleasure of holding more than 30 workshops, courses and retreats at Dharma Mountain over the past 15 years. It is a true pleasure to invite you to spend 3 magical days at this beautiful place. Situated by a small lake, surrounded by grasslands, forests and rivers, and surrounded by tall, majestic mountains, Dharma Mountain is a place for deep inner connection and restoration. The aesthetic expression of the place, with flowers, art and natural beauty, gives us the perfect setting to immerse ourselves in both nature and ourselves.

Food:

The food served here is absolutely delicious – made with love and care. Dharma Mountain serves locally sourced vegetarian food. They can offer adaptations for those who need gluten-free, lactose-free or vegan options.

NB: Please write in the comments field on the registration form if you would like to order a gluten-free, lactose-free or vegan alternative.

You must also inform us about any other allergies there (in the comments field). In some cases, Dharma Mountain can adapt the food to suit allergies if they are notified in good time. In other cases, you will have to bring extra food yourself. You & Dharma will find out this together, well in advance of the retreat.

Accommodation:

You can choose whether you want to stay in a cabin (either single room, double room, in the attic).

Most cabins have two bedrooms with space for two people (one cabin is much larger and has 3 bedrooms). In addition, all cabins have a sleeping loft.

All cabins also have a bathroom with sink, shower and toilet, as well as a kitchen.
