Summer Hatha Yoga Retreat on Presence

  By ,

Email Pinelopi : pinelopi (at) englishyogaberlin (dot) com

Thursday June 12th, 2025 15:00- Sunday June 15th, 2025 14:00

We warmly invite you to join us at this retreat for three intentional days of presence and mindfulness in community.

How often do we find ourselves planning ahead for who we wish to become, or looking back with regret or nostalgia for what once was, while bypassing what simply is? Presence means fully inhabiting the here and now. Even when the present moment feels uncomfortable, anxious, or undesirable.

True presence means embracing both the flowers and the compost—the beautiful and the difficult aspects of our experience. Being present with what is doesn’t mean accepting or condoning the causes that created our circumstances, but honestly allowing ourselves to be with reality as it unfolds in this world of juxtapositions:

  • A world filled with both love and fear
  • A world containing beauty alongside pain
  • A world where anxiety and peace coexist

We invite you to spend these days in presence together. Come as you are, from wherever you find yourself on your journey. Arrive with an open heart and eyes full of wonder for the world in all its mystery.

Where?
