After the successful 2024 summer retreat, we invite you to this year's gathering.
This is time to step away from everyday routine and turn toward the inner world.
Often our deeper self longs for movement, listening and inner process. In the nature of Labanoras, we will meet unexpected practices and discoveries.
The retreat opens new ways of seeing and knowing, and invites us to notice how deeply we can travel through direct experience.
The aim is to come closer to the self and to understand an integrated state of being in relation with ourselves and others through different forms of practice.
Can practice hold body and mind as one? Body and mind are inseparable. This will be the starting point for the weekend.
Two different practice streams meet in community. The structure supports continuity: connection with the self is cultivated step by step, and experience is integrated together.
Mind practices - Evelina will guide self-observation, thinking, creative reflection and group inquiry.
Body practices - Jurgita will introduce movement language that brings together physicality, creativity, partnership and imagination through different tools.
The weekend pays close attention to the rhythm of practice: individuality, togetherness and silence are balanced so that integration can happen naturally.

Body practices with Jurgita
Jurgita introduces movement language that combines physicality, creativity, partnership and a wider range of movement possibilities through tools and imagination. It is a language that invites us to leave behind old ideas about ourselves, others and the world.
"It seems that the less I know and the more I experience through movement, the more freedom and possibility I have to create the present moment."
