Summer Retreat
SENSORY BODY LANDSCAPE
August 21 - 24 2025
Cursolo, Valle Cannobina, Piemonte, Italy
BREATHWORK, SOMATIC MOVEMENT, NATURE
In the spirit of summer, we connect with the abundance of nature, with our senses and our innate creative energy. Through breathwork, somatic movement and practices of contemplation, we delve into a state of presence and inquiry.
What moves the body? What lets us become quiet and present? What heals us?
Emphasising the interconnection between humans and nature as energy, our practice is inspired by the initial purpose of dance—bringing communities together and establishing a connection with nature.
What's included:
• 3 x morning practice - breathwork & intuitive movement
• all Sensory Body Landscape practices
• 3 x Conscious Connected Breathwork
• 3 x breakfast, lunch and dinner - vegetarian and vegan options (meals prepared communally)

Autumn Retreat
September 25 - 28 2025
Cursolo Valle Cannobina, Piemonte, Italy
YOGA / BREATHWORK/ TUINA / HIKING
ALL LEVELS WELCOME
Karin and Chris invite you to their autumn retreat in Cursolo.
The small mountain village of Cursolo lies high above the Cannobina Valley in Piedmont, halfway between Locarno and Domodossola.
Expect a yoga deck floating above colorful woods with a fantastic view of the valley and the surrounding hills and mountains.
Our autumn retreat is all about breathing and the energy of the lung. In this time of change and letting go, we would like to be with you in nature and explore the transformation phase of the metal element. We will discover and stimulate our lung Qi with guided breathwork.
In morning vinyasa yoga, we consciously connect movement with the breath. During the calmer meridian stretches and yin sequences in the afternoon, we turn our gaze inwards and bring lung and colon energy into flow.
The retreat includes a 45-minute Tuina treatment for each participant.
You will return home inspired and invigorated!
What's included:
• 3 x 90 minute Morning Yoga (Vinyasa Flow, Breathwork, Meditation)
• 1 x 60 minute Meridian stretches and introduction metal element
• 1 x 90 minute breathwork journey (Conscious Connected Breath)

Continuum Workshop
September 16-17 2017
When we dive back into the ocean, we encounter a world of incredible depth and silence. At the same time, everything moves and flows in a perfect, primordial order and in its own very specific rhythm. In Continuum we use special breaths and sounds to tune into these harmonious and regenerating wave motions and pulsations. The body connects again with its original internal rhythm.
The deceleration, depth and silence can be experienced directly.
CHF 270.– (normal)
