Advent Reflections #1

Today is the first Sunday of advent.

No matter if this is a tradition you celebrate or not, the Sundays until the end of the year can offer welcome moments for reflection of the year that is nearing completion.

I appreciate pauses for reflection as they allow me to notice how I have changed or what around me has changed.

A little ritual for reflection

It’s the dark season here in the northern hemisphere and it’s nice to light a candle and find a comfy place to rest.

Feel invited to share this practice with me. Take a few minutes today to look back at the months from….

January to March

• Which moments were precious to you in these months?
• What moved you?
• Did something complete?
• Did something begin?
• What memories will stay with you?

Intensity & Intensives

Intensity is one of the words I would use to describe the my journey through this year. Maybe you can relate? Even though our paths are unique and look very different, I guess that many of us feel that life is intense – maybe in a very personal way, maybe because you feel touched by global, collective or political developments.

One of my practitioners and teachers used to say “Life doesn’t necessarily get better, it gets more intense“. And I agree. Even if you choose a path of self-development and betterment and even if you learn to drop some of your patterns and reframe ideas, life is and will be intense. Meeting pain and sadness is as much part of life as feeling utter joy and happiness.

Holding intensity in our bodies requires practice. 

Some we can do alone, for some we may need support.

Since intensive processes were kind of my entry door into bodywork and body-based learning, I feel now is a good time to offer intensives at the beginning of 2025.

Intensive processes in January

From January 23 to 26, I’ll be offering intensive processes in Vienna.

As the new year begins, I want to offer space and time for you to nourish your essence and ability to be and stay centered so you are ready for the intensity that the new year may bring.

We’ll have time to dive deeply into a subject you’d like to explore and strengthen the qualities you have to handle the intensity that life brings. I’ll freely share what’s in my own toolbox. A big part of the process will be bodywork.

We begin the first session with choosing a focus, defining your wish or intention. The following sessions we’ll have ample time for bodywork, exploring different perspectives, playing with practices that fit your goal. The last session will be for completion and planning how you can integrate your insights and practices into your daily life.

You’ll have one session in the morning, one in the afternoon.

3 days (Friday-Sunday) – 6 sessions | €590
4 days (Thursday-Sunday) – 8 sessions | €750

If you’re interested or would like to book an intensive process in January, send me an email.

Have a restful Advent Sunday –
