Yoga, Wellness and Poetry – a Retreat

REFRESHED & INSPIRED

September 2 to 4, 2022

Rørvig (Sjælland), Denmark

Join us for a weekend of exquisite self-care for your body and soul.

You are invited to a special retreat in a unique and peaceful natural scenery, 1h15m drive from Copenhagen.

The intention is to support you in feeling refreshed and inspired using a mix of gentle and dynamic yoga, meditation, the spa and surrounding nature, as well as poetry that moves your heart and soul.

You will enjoy the outdoor spa (sauna and hot tub), nourishing organic food, and the nature hikes accessible directly from the venue. It is time for a treat and some well-deserved “you-time.”

Your facilitators, Pernille and Cédric, experienced yogis and retreat facilitators, are dedicated to create a safe, sacred space for well-being and healing. You can expect a relaxed and intimate atmosphere.

Cédric will be your yoga teacher. He will guide delicious yoga sessions with his signature-style of heart-infused themes and precision tools for empowering body awareness and alignment. Each class will make your body feel good and alive while helping your mind and heart feel nurtured and soothed.

Pernille will share poetry and teaching from her favorite poets as well as from her own upcoming collection to inspire us for our life, embodiment, and spiritual path. Pernille will also guide short meditation and writing sessions to help you connect to the soulful depth and wisdom of your own inner world.

No experience with neither meditation, yoga or writing required. All you need is an openness to be in your body and explore the depth of the inner realms. We look forward to sharing this special time with you.

 

The venue

“Kirsebærgården” is an old, traditional Danish farm, located on the Nakke peninsula, a protected nature reserve Northwest of Copenhagen. The retreat buildings were completely renovated a few years ago with all organic, high-quality material and decorated for a harmonious, minimalistic, and comfortable interior. The yoga room is beautiful and spacious, with high ceilings and big windows overlooking the surrounding nature. 

In addition to an outdoor sauna and hot tub, hiking trails are accessible directly from the retreat venue.
