When you read this, you probably feel a desire to experience love and break free from old, negative patterns.
You may have already worked on healing yourself. But what if you don’t need to "heal" anymore? What if the change you’re looking for is in how you view your relationship(s)?
In this retreat, we will teach you how to use your current or future relationship(s) as a mirror for deep inner growth and to feel true connection and love—for yourself and others.
The idea that we need to be fully "healed" before starting relationships is simply not true.
Our relationships are the key to our biggest growth and freedom because they show us, often in a painful way, where we hold ourselves back. In that pain, we can find the path to our freedom
A healthy, loving relationship starts when we are willing to look at the painful parts of ourselves and see how we actually reject those parts.
Only when we are open to using our relationships as mirrors to look at our own issues and take responsibility for our own pain, which we bring into every interaction, can healing, transformation, and growth happen.
This is our only chance to truly experience love. Feeling love isn’t about the love from another person, but the love we feel for ourselves.
Wherever you are on your journey with love and relationships, everything is a mirror. During this retreat, we will guide you with love and help you understand what the mirror is showing you and what steps you can take if you choose to
Relationships are mirrors. Our relationships show us parts of ourselves over and over again. These mirrors don’t judge, they just show everything: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Relationships don’t come from healing. We need others to see parts of ourselves that we might not see. Want to learn more about yourself? Look at your relationships—there’s no better teacher.
It takes awareness, responsibility, and courage to look at the mirror of your relationships. The ego doesn’t want to look at itself, so when there is conflict in a relationship, it tries to blame others to avoid the painful truth.
Many people get stuck in reacting to each other, and lose connection with themselves and others.

You have the desire to experience deep love, connection, and support.
You experience fear or pain in your personal relationships (this can include romantic partnerships, family, friendships, professional relationships, or parent-child relationships).
You are ready to look at the most important relationship in your life: the one with yourself, and from that place, experience a deep connection with others.
There is a higher part, a higher intelligence, a higher potential that is always speaking to us. Over the past years, I’ve deepened and refined my relationship with that part.
My strong connection to my own highest potential—and that of others—has always been there. I’ve always been deeply fascinated by the laws of the Universe, and now I know I am here to combine the energetic and intuitive with the earthly. By bridging these two worlds, I help people remember what they are here to do and how to translate that into practical steps.
During this retreat, I teach about energy, channel messages from the collective, and tap into your energetic field to uncover what lives there. This retreat is an activation for the soul on an energetic, emotional, mental, and physical level.
Are you ready to surrender to your highest potential?

In the authentic shapes retreat you only need to be your authentic self. Be curious, open to the different practices and workshops, and you'll be able to enjoy this beautiful journey.

4. WHAT IS THE SIGNUP PROCESS?
No problem! You don’t need any experience to join this retreat, we are open to all levels. It might be helpful to practice if you feel, but you don't have to. It's not about your level it's all about opening up to learn more.
Regarding yoga: you don’t need to be super flexible or fit, that’s not what Authentic flow yoga is about. You can participate at your own pace and level and if you’ve got a physical complaint, we’ll always help to find a suitable alternative for the exercise.
5. WHAT IF I NEVER DID YOGA, BREATHWORK OR MEDITATION BEFORE?
Sometimes we are afraid to look within, afraid of what we might discover. We’re scared that there are certain people, habits, or aspects that we need to leave behind.
The beauty of looking within is that you’ll only see and receive what you’re ready for. Your soul knows exactly what to show for, you just have to listen to that inner voice.
