Yoga, Meditation, Art and Nature Retreat



Welcome to a weekend of exploring yoga asana, meditation, mindful movement,drawing and nature. 
We'll gather to experience how we can try to stay intimate with life as we enter into the darkest part of the year. That will be the thread that will connect our work together.
We will investigate ways to support the changes and keep moving into what is happening, observing and creating awareness around it. 

From the 3rd to the 5th of November in the beautiful Hellasgården, come and give yourself the great gift of presence.
There will be nice vegan food from Vivo Sthlm and possibility of free access to the sauna in the free time. 


Ida Arvids and Giulia Sansoni are two passionate yoga teachers with great curiosity of rediscovering the potential in our bodies, realigning beyond traditions, redefining the perfect movement for the body from within, starting from trusting the breath. Both of us are practitioners of meditation from a mindfulness,zen angle. 
Emilie Lindsten is an artist, yoga practitioner and meditator. Her practices have helped her find balance in the everyday and have evolved and merged into a holistic and playful approach to life. The workshop will be in connection with the other practices and it´s named "Lines of light through the dark - an intuitive exploration on paper".  She will guide you through a series of exercises of pure creative expression. The aim of the workshop is to observe our own inner energies and voices that will arise in the act of drawing and let our own intuitive potential unravel. The workshop is open to beginners and advanced artists alike. Group exercises are to be expected.

information regarding the community sundays

Hi everyone,
we feel very grateful for another year together and for the possibility of opening important discussion with you all on the Community Sundays.

Just a reminder and a short description of the choice of the theme and the donations.

So the Community Sundays will take place every last sunday of the month, please check the older post to see the dates.

Every Community Sunday will have 30 minutes yoga/movement practice, 30 minutes meditation/mindfulness-zen oriented, 30 minutes discussion on a theme based.

The themes for this year are taken from the book : Yoga for a world out of balance, teachings on ethics and social actions. Written by Michael Stone. more info here : http://www.shambhala.com/yoga-for-a-world-out-of-balance.html

Because this great teacher and friend of ours has recently passed, we will also make the donations for the upcoming year of Community Sundays, to his young family, to support their life and honour his work.
You can check out Michael´s work as a teacher and activist here: https://michaelstoneteaching.com, you will find it written and some videos but we warmly recommend his great podcasts. Everything for free in the community library.
He has been very generous and inspirational for us personally and professionally.
We hope you will enjoy it too.

Thank you for showing up to investigate together possibilities for a better world.

Kindly,
Ortensyoga
