From Friday 20th of May to Sunday 22nd of May 2022 the ‘Open your Heart – weekend retreat’ will take place!
A retreat to DISCONNECT from the outside world and RECONNECT to your inside world, to your true self, to your heart and the heart of others. A moment and place where you can drop your guard and just BE…
Just be, with whatever it is you are feeling, carrying, embodying, all is welcome here.
During two days you will be held in a space of trust, love, kindness, and compassion.
Together, we will immerse in a journey inside your own body, mind and heart through different practices such as yoga, meditation, introspection and reflection, heart workshops, nature walks, cacao ceremony, and other activities.

Three healthy delicious vegan meals a day will be prepared for you with love by the wonderful Akasha team. If you didn’t know yet, you are about to find out how delicious vegan food can be ;) ! Tea, water and fruits will be available for you all day.
During the retreat you will be staying at the beautiful Akasha retreat center, surrounded by nature. This holistic retreat centre is designed to bring a cosy family atmosphere for anyone to feel at home. The place itself awakens in many a feeling of peace and calm, and is a nurturing ground to reconnect with yourself, others and nature. Sessions take place in the “temple room” and some outdoors. In between sessions you can relax in peaceful places in and around the retreat space, in the garden, in the living room or in your own comfortable room.
Yoga
During the retreat we will practice mindful hatha yoga every morning, after the meditation. Hatha yoga is one of the most traditional forms of yoga with a good balance between effort and comfort. During these yoga sessions we will bring our awareness from our heads, into our bodies and into our hearts. ‘Mindful’ because the focus in these classes is on feeling, experiencing, sensing every movement and what it awakens within us, while we embrace whatever comes to the surface with compassion and care.
Meditation
Every morning we will start the day in silence and go straight into meditation. The morning is a wonderful time to meditate as the mind is still relatively ‘still’, which makes it easier to meditate. On the first night we will have a guided relaxation and meditation and certain heart workshops will also start with a short meditation to put us in the right atmosphere.
Journaling
All along the retreat there will be several journaling moments. Journaling is a powerful tool to generate insight, create clarity, express yourself, and release what doesn’t serve you anymore. You will have the opportunity to experience this practice during the retreat and create your own journaling ritual that you can use after the retreat is over.
Heart workshops
During these workshops we will explore what is at the core of your heart. The good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful, all is welcome here. Through your hands, body and heart you will be able to express what is present for you, get rid of what doesn’t serve you anymore and transform your hardships into your unique gifts and superpowers. From ‘hard’ to ‘heart’.
Mindful walk
On Sunday we will venture out into the beautiful natural surroundings of Akasha for a mindful walking experience. During this experience we will immerse completely in nature and feel our connectedness to the whole. “You are not one drop in the ocean. You are the ocean in one drop.”
Cacao ceremony & celebration
On Saturday evening we will gather for a cacao ceremony & celebration. Cacao is a plant medicine with many benefits, one of which is its heart opening effect. If you have never experienced a cacao ceremony, this will be a wonderful opportunity for you to experience it in this setting. It is a safe space of togetherness in which we can express ourselves and share, dance and sing from the heart.
