This retreat is for you if the following resonates with you:
You feel like you live in a fragmented world — and at the same time, you sense that this is just a way of seeing things. There is another way… but you can’t quite grasp it.
Let me give you a key.
Babies don’t feel separate. Animals don’t either.
They are life. Reality. Completeness.
Why?
They don’t use language.
I believe we can find a powerful key in language.
We are all deeply immersed in it.
We speak it, we think in it, write it, dream in it...
Language is the veil between us and undivided reality.
In my research, I’ve discovered a way to use language differently.
By prioritising verbs over subjects and objects, we begin to speak a language that doesn’t divide — but instead reveals the interconnected flow of reality.
A language that reflects the wholeness we are part of.
Adopting this alternative mode of speaking shifts our experience.
It brings a sense of completeness. Of deep connection.
And the surprising thing? It also makes our language more poetic.
We still get to enjoy the poetry of being human — but without the illusion of separation.
The programme will consist of:
Nobody’s Dance morning practice
Playful Moving Language classes
Exercices to connect both hemipsheres

Writing
Hiking, resting, journaling, enjoying the beauty of the place and of being together.

The donation suggestion for the program is €440. Zoe wants this retreat to be accessible for those who truly feel called to participate, regardless of their budget. She trusts that those who can, will contribute a larger share. To keep prices democratic, and because it is connecting us to each other, your are asked to do one hour of karma yoga a day (cooking, dishes …)
What outcome to expect:
During this retreat you will find a deeper sense of belonging to all there is, including other humans and the rest of nature. You will also uncover your unique expression and creative potential. Your perspective on (your) life will have changed.
