Kea Healing Week Retreat  | Nourish and Renew Yourself

Combining the infinite blue of the Agean sea, with the infinity that lies inside you.

3 to 8 of July

 

Taking “time out”, whether we travel far away to explore other cultures and languages, or stay closer to home, allow us time for a rich exploration of our deepest self.

When too much busyness or overcommitment cuts us off from our inner being, there are times when we become ill from too much stews, or being out of alignment with our essential being. An enforced retreat, due to illness, sometimes turns out to be a blessing in disguise, especially if we use our “down time” as a “retreat”. Self - reflection and meditation help us recreate a life of balance.

While alone or in retreat, our self-image (which become defined by our position in life, past experiences, work role, gender, of how friends “see us”) starts to dissolve like a mirage in a desert. When we are stripped of our self image, by cutting our selves out of our own “feedback loop”, we open the gates to depths of ourselves which we may never have known before.

The richness of our awareness and the expansive quality of our mind has a chance to fly free. Joy and laughter emerge like a spring of clean, clear water, unpolluted by social conditions. If we are communing with nature on our retreat we may feel so merged with in that we feel the life force tingling in each cell of our body. When we cleared, our chi, or life force, can flow freely and enliven us. If we give ourselves the opportunity, we become aware of the things that, ordinary, rob us of our life force.

Each one of us has a unique formula for keeping the life force flowing. Perhaps certain relationships, take too much of us, and some may even be draining. Maybe we do not give ourselves enough solitude for inner reflection and the recharging of our batteries. Maybe we need to change our profession to one we “enjoy”. Sometimes it is a simple matter of reordering and reprioritizing how we relate to others, and how we manage the mundane details of our life. We may need to keep a journal. write down dreams, and make lists of our goals and affirmations.

 

When dolphins retreat from their pod, it is usually not for long time, as dolphins are “adept” energy managers and energy cleaners. They will clean themselves if they’ve become overloaded. Doing power runs , joy jumping, or just slowly cursing along alone, are ways a dolphin will clear upsets or clogged- up energy. They are masters of doing this “essential cleansing process” quickly. After they’ve had a little retreat, the rejoin the pod, refreshed, harmonious, and ready for radical play.

 

An island with rich history and relaxing beaches, Kea Greece has nice seaside villages, a picturesque capital and crystal beach waters combined with an earthy colours wild, mountainous landscape.

It is there where Dana and Dimitris will wait for you, for the Healing Week.

 

Meditating on unique beaches, walking on the ancient paths of the island, combining thus the natural beauty of the mainland along with infinite blue of the Aegean sea, along with the wonderful food, this week will definitely make you feel the frequencies of bliss and deep relaxation in all your bodies (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual).

 

This environment, combined with workshops, healing treatments, heart to heart talks, will help you to lower your tension and stress. You will experience a deep relaxation, which will lead you back to your own energy, making you feel inner peace and increased vitality.

 

 

The Program

 

Friday 3/7, 

11:00 - 14:00

Guidance to your inner Self, group session

By using a very simple medium (that of the Osho cards)  you can start to open yourself and blockages which prevent your flow and your  full life, will be mirrored to you. The session is not about  reading the cards, nor an abstract interpretation of your future, but a  very gentle, yet clear and straight inner process for you to work your present. By the time you will open the door, you will be guided  to understand the believes, ideas and emotions that block you.

 

19:00 - 20:00

Meditation

The only way to find the truth about “you”, is to observe yourself, your thoughts, your emotions, your deeds. No one, (no matter  supposedly supreme qualities) can tell you who you are, what you want, what you love. To become the observer, the witness, the one that understands, is an art. And like any art you can master it only with daily practice. Accompanied  by the healing sounds of the Tibetan bowls, you will experience a one of kind guided mediation in order for you to start to discover your true self.

 

Sat 4/7

11: 00 - 13:00

Meeting and harmonising your Sub personalities

The ancient wisdom of the Native American Tribes Part I

What do you actually do in your daily life, when you hear the well know sentence “Listen to your heart” or “Hear you inner self”? Meeting yourself is easier said than done, unless you understand and meet the four sub personalities that constitute the whole self.

The Inner Nurturer, the Inner Child, the Inner Warrior / Warrioress, and the Inner Spirit and their states of health, are reflections of both your inner and outer lives. Your freedom to be emotionally spontaneous and honest, your ability to carry through on commitments and accept responsibility, and your spiritual connection are among the many things that create health or imbalance in these aspects of yourself. We are going to share with you this Native American tradition, that we told dates back at least 25.000 years, in order for you to understand, communicate and do this process of balancing and harmonising the four sacred parts of yourself.

 

19:00 - 20:30

Sounds Healing Therapy

Tibetan bowls, Tampura, Native American Drum & Flute, Sea Drum, tuning forks, Overtones and Vocal toning

"My belief is that we can all find the rhythms and harmonics of our celestial music, and that our efforts will enable us to live extraordinary lives filled with peace, passion, health, and a sense of unity with the universe. We are all familiar with the tremendous power of sound to energize our bodies and soothe our spirits, whether we experience it in the form of rousing music or in the hushed noise of waves on a beach at night.”

Dr. Mitchell Gaynor 

A pioneer in the revolutionary new field of sound medicine,, a leading oncologist and director of integrative medicine at the Strang-Cornell Cancer Prevention Center.

 

Sound Therapy focuses on restoring the correct resonant frequency to the part of the body that is vibrating out of harmony with the rest of the body. There are many different frequencies throughout our body that allows it to be in a constant state of vibration. Sound frequencies affect everything, including the ability to rearrange the molecules of our cellular structure.

By creating sound and vibration through the use of tuning forks,  Tibetan bowls and all the other instruments, one is able to change the inner tuning of the nervous system. The resonance creates a vortex of sound that leads us into a point of stillness. Stillness is a moment when we can retune ourselves and shift our frequencies to produce a healthier and calmer state of being.

19:00 - 20:30

Dolphin Brain Repatterning , the movement of the Dolphin

Body movement  principles and techniques of Moshe Feldenkrais & Amorah Quan Yin, with Tibetan Bowls and Healing Frequencies

“The Dolphin moves aspect of Dolphin Brain Repatterning is guided floor movement work. Dolphin Moves are intended to teach your body how to unlearn old restrictive patterns by moving in specific ways while monitoring yourself carefully in order to be aware of the subtleties of your movements. When you are aware of what you are doing and can feel the results in your body at the same time, you are freed to learn new ways of moving and being that are more commensurate with who you are now and who you are becoming. In other words, you give your body new choices.

Interestingly enough, when your brain learns a way of doing something that requires less energy than a previous way of doing it, it drops the old way and accepts the new, more energy-efficient option. It takes much more energy to hold a part of your body in contraction than it does to let it be free, joyful, and spontaneous, as in the Dolphin Wave Effect.

Therefore, once your brain experiences an alternative that allows for freedom, joy, spontaneity, and release of contraction, it adopts that modus operandi and tells your body how to operate in the new way.”

Amorah Quan Yin

Grounding:  Bringing consciousness  and spiritual presence into the body

The principal of universal movement shows us that everything comes and  goes, everything fills and empties in order to maintain flow. We may know that from

Heraclitus’ “Everything flows” as well as Tao’s Yin and Yang. The flow of the Chi or Prana or Ki or Vital energy is the flow of life.

The goal is not to leave your body and transcend the physical; the goal-is to transcend your belief in and fear of the limitations of the physical plane. You accomplish this by spiritually descending into matter fully for the purpose of clearing lower-frequency energies such as repressed emotions, belief systems, judgments, control, and other contracted energies that are the source of limitation in the third dimension. This results in full-chakra, cellular enlightenment or ascension instead of escape.

 

19:00 - 20:00

Meditation session

If your mind is Calm, you:

Become peaceful and happy

Are less worried and frustrated

Don’t get stressed about work or exams

Can pay more attention to people you love

Find people will like you more

The Aura field, choose what you do let into your auric field and what you do not

Why waste your meditation time, and life in general, processing and clearing what does not even belong to you? Using boundary tools is an example of grace in action.

An overextended aura can result in spaciness, escapism, and the tendency to feel and take on everyone else's emotions, thoughts, and even pain in the entire area your aura covers.

A contracted aura tends to make a person feel more uptight, fearful, and separate. This type of aura can also be caused by those types of feelings. An overextended aura can also be the result of these same feelings and situations that it tends to cause. In other words, the cause of unhealthy aura conditions also tends to regenerate more of the same conditions that caused them.

Wednesday  8/7

Dissolving emotions and believes

Emotions should not be judged or repressed. Emotions are a vital part of you as a human being and as such they need to be respected and accepted. You can look upon your emotions as your children who need your attention and respect and your guidance.

An emotion can best be viewed as an energy that comes to you for healing.

Embrace the emotion with understanding, with love. Such a type of consciousness is healing.

There are many meditative techniques that can help you to learn to dissolve this energy whenever it comes to meet you.

 

19:00 - 20:00

Meditation session
