EARTH RETREAT
Do you ever feel that call from your subconscious? That call to be your pure self in body and mind? To feel powerful, energetic, connected, grand and insignificant at the same time? To feel that you live fully, freed from conditioning, blockages or expectations? With the self-healing ability as nature intended? Wonderful when you feel that call, the door that is open to come home to yourself…
AVANI welcomes you to the EARTH RETREAT to embark on a healing, transformative journey together. Where you connect deeply with your core and experience that you yourself are the medicine of your life and future.
We take you on a 3 day trip in nature and in old traditions. Without a clock, telephone, camera and without work, partner or children. For a weekend you live to the rhythm of nature. We offer a combination of plant medicines (legal truffles), the sweat lodge, shamanic energy work, sound healing and connected breathing. This can help you connect with your inner wisdom to get to the core and accelerate a process of deep healing, psychological well-being and meaningful change.
PROGRAM
01
INTENTION THE COMPASS OF YOUR JOURNEY
You do nothing without a reason, even if that reason is unconscious. Make it conscious and examine your intention behind it. An intention is a wish that is detached from the outcome. The intention gives you direction and enables you to be open to what you encounter. With the right intention, you'll find exactly what you need, even if it looks different than you thought.
03
TRUFFLE CEREMONY FOR A NEW PERSPECTIVE
We return inside. To the silence. By stilling yourself you can increase the connection with yourself and awaken your inner wisdom. And then look at yourself, your life, the situation from a new perspective. So we can grow. Being able to create new wisdom. This is discovering who we really are. The big answer to “Who am I”. In this step we use the truffles and you make an inner journey with this plant medicine. A ceremony such as shamans around the world and since ancient times have used for physical and spiritual healing.
05
SOUNDHEALING
During the ceremony you will be taken on a unique sound journey. We combine live sound healing with electronic soundscapes, sound effects and solfeggio frequencies. This beautiful and potent blend, supported by the plant medicine, takes you on a journey through wonderland to the deep waters of your soul.
07
SOUNDHEALING
During the truffle journey you can be taken on an inner journey using the intuitive live music of Dymphi Peeters with special flutes, African harp, singing, drum, sansula, shrutibox and more. Expect magic!
Dymphi Peeters is a voice and kora artist who makes medicine music inspired by world music fusion, sound healing and improvisation.
In an ocean of world music she stands out – in addition to the special instrumentation of the African Kora – because of the great diversity in timbres and emotions in her voice that transport you to different parts of the world, and because she sings intuitively in a primal language (also called source language / light language) that invites you to sink your attention out of your head and into your body. Fans describe her as a “primordial woman” who can touch your heart and soul with her music.
02
A WARM MEETING IN THE SWEATSHOTS THE FIRE
This ancient ritual can cleanse your body and mind of things that are no longer needed. You may begin to remember who you really are and recognize how you have always lived. To then see very honestly what lives in you. You will make contact with your body and mind where everything is allowed to be there. Anger, sadness, frustration, fear, pleasure and loss. You may burn whatever stands in your way. By connecting with yourself, starting to feel what can be felt, you can become honest with yourself. Be honest about the parts that you don't really dare to acknowledge. You're really going to look at yourself. Who am I. So you can burn all that you are not and let go.
04
ENERGY HEALING
The truffles help us on the way in, to the unseen world. We guide this process with four energy healers who are guided by something bigger during the ceremony, which tells them where hands can be placed, to connect you with your core, with the soul. It is a shamanic way of working. The power of healing allows us to refine our energy so that we can live from a source of unconditional love and trust.
06
BREATH POWER AND LET GO
You will be guided in circular, connected breathing exercises, followed by a period of deep relaxation and recovery. This allows you to travel through your physical body to the mental and further into the depths to the emotional, energetic and spiritual body. Every cell of your body wakes up and you experience a deep relationship with yourself and your source. Blockages can be cleared and answers found. You also reach deep into the nervous system, immune system and cardio-vascular system, so that you can reset these primal systems. You'll get one-on-one support and guidance to surrender to water that's for you.
08
DANCE
Moving and dancing has always been in us. The importance of dancing like an idiot, it is sometimes called. The free movement to music, without having to take certain steps, but simply following the movements of your body from moment to moment, inspired by the music, can bring you out of your head and into a kind of trance and feeling of ecstasy and unity.
A safe bed for your inner journey
AVANI offers us a space of openness, where you feel safe to go in and reconnect with your own nature. Where you can find new perspectives. Because do you sometimes ask yourself 'who am I?' and 'what do I really want?'. In a world that is constantly and rapidly changing, it is difficult to really know yourself. Let alone stand for it and live it fully. Do you long for more direction and clarity to let go of the old and to create a new, deepening and larger vision?
Then join us on this transformative journey. A weekend after which you will better take your place in your life, you will get more focus and energy. Where nature gives you insights into what's going on in you, where it hurts, what can be released, who you are and what you actually want.
LET'S GO IN A LOOK....
We connect with the forces of nature to awaken our own primal forces and become who we really are.
We rediscover a deep connection with ourselves and nature.
We experience deep cleansing of everything we no longer need. We sweat it out, breathe it out, and rinse it off.
Together we will enjoy, deepen, breathe, sweat, laugh, cry, shiver, scream, wonder, but above all live life to the full.
We connect with our capacity for self-healing
We experience that we are the creator of our inner world and our life
We stand still and discover what really lives in us.
We work with ancient rituals and nature. The sweat lodge, our breathing, the plant medicines (legal truffles) and music.
We eat good food. Healthy food. So that we not only go home emotionally healthier, but also physically.
And all that in a beautiful, healing place. AVANIA

"What a great trip during a beautiful weekend in an even more beautiful location with very nice people. The Earth retreat is something that will have an impact on your life. It will give you insights. What I especially liked is the safe environment that was created is guided by the very fine guidance in order to enjoy your trip to the fullest. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. You're in good hands."
" The retreat was a beautiful and profound experience. Everything was just right, the like-minded team, the beautiful place, the delicious food and being together in the group. During this weekend I did not experience any time alone a beautiful inner journey that went on in succession. I have never experienced before that you can transform so much in one weekend and immediately feel a group safety. The sweat lodge ceremony and the plant medicine journey have brought me a lot. Making a sound from pain, sadness , anger and to remain present in my body during all this. Chiel and Dymphi guided and conveyed this very nicely! A magical and powerful place where love can be felt in everything."
"Grateful for the safe bed during the sweat lodge ceremony. But especially during the trip with truffles. With my past (psychosis more than 20 years ago) it is always not recommended. But it kept calling me and I entered into it in good consultation with the organization . The trip was nice and it gave me insights. Grateful for that"
