The Big Glow Summer Retreat: Embodying the Light: Stockholm Sweden

A holistic full sensory experience to transcending ego and communing with the essence of who we really are.

How do we discover who we really are and express it in the world?

We are the very happy to facilitate this 2 day retreat just outside the beautiful city of Stockholm Sweden.

This 2 day retreat will meditation, breathwork, satsangs, music, dance therapy and authentic movement, authentic relating, supportive community, and plenty of time to relax and rejuvenate.

Theme of the retreat is "Embodying the Light". Can we be deeply at peace inside and yet passionately engaged in the world? Can we be of service to the world without feeling depleted? Can we rest in the ground of BEing while expressing our deepest creativity and purpose? Can we be relaxed yet alert, attentive, still inside, yet in harmony with movement of life? Can we ignite our highest, most actualized selves from the deepest ground of BEing? Can we be both the peace and passion? You're invited to explore and embody these truths with us in a beautiful, serene, inspiring oasis.

You are invited to move, to dance, to laugh, to cry, to stretch. to explore, to breath, to learn, to grow, to sit in perfect silence... as we discover the essence of who really are and actualize our innate gifts in the world.

"I have attended multiple Big Glow retreats, and in each, I experienced co-creating an intentional, spiritual community with other participants, deep connections with others, and new insights into my own being. The retreat environment calls forth and nurtures my highest self, helps me release negatives and ideas of self-limitation, embrace my potential, and find new wellsprings of joy inside myself” – S.K., Sacramento California

“The Big Glow retreat experience is a living symphony composed of various heart opening movements or phases. Each movement is grounded in the expressed intention of the group, and galvanised through presence, into the effortless unfolding of each magical now.” – L.I. Boulder Colorado

“I left my Big Glow retreat with a profound sense of peace and ‘grounding’ … of being totally anchored in the ‘forever NOW moment’. It is almost a ‘physical’ sense of being ‘weighted’ or ‘anchored”. ” – JC, North Carolina”
