What is Summer’s Last Dance?
As the sun sets on summer, join us for “Summer’s Last Dance,” a retreat dedicated to honouring the past season and embracing the changes in nature and in our lives – the ones we currently go through, and the ones that lie ahead.
“Summer’s Last Dance” is a four-day retreat that explores and celebrates transformation. It will take place between 20 and 23rd of September in the lovely setting of Karabunar Village, a 100km drive from Sofia, Bulgaria. During the retreat we will give ourselves opportunities to identify some of our old patterns that are no longer serving us, honour them, and create space in our lives for new things to come in their place. Through expressive workshops, group activities, and mindfulness exercises, you can embrace new beginnings and let go of what no longer serves you.
Over three nights and four days, we’ll celebrate, destroy, create and make our way through the final days of summer, emerging refreshed and ready for the next chapter of our lives, welcoming what awaits us on our path.
Each day will start with a quiet sunrise, guided meditations, breathwork, and yoga. We’ll move through mindfulness, expressive arts, and creative sessions all designed to ground you and explore the themes of change, transition, beginnings, endings, and the messy in-betweens in a safe, positive, and encouraging space. In the evenings, along with the sunsets, we’ll co-create, express, dance, sing, enjoy life, and celebrate the last days of summer 2024 together.
We’ll engage in rituals of release, destruction, creation, and nature immersion to let go of what no longer serves us and make room for what does. We’ll discover how we want to meet the present and how to use the tools of mindfulness, compassion, and expression to support ourselves, and like a phoenix rise resiliently from the ashes of summer.
Lastly, we’ll enjoy natural, organic food, gorgeous nature, swimming pool dips, options for hikes and stargazing, and celebrate the bountiful flavours of late summer with an amazing group of people. Keep on stepping forward with awareness, compassion, and intention, in the mindful turns of the dance of life.
