On this retreat we follow your โinner riverโ, as a metaphor for our own "sense of ourselvesโ or basic-way-of-being-in-the-world.
Instead of changing the course of the river, we are there to find the power in its shape, its deep bends, rapid currents and quiet coves.
Most people are looking for change, but on this retreat we are looking for ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.
We use the inner river as a common theme and the 5 Rhythms - ๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ - as our compass, to guide us on our path in our exploration of what we come from.
Previous Easter retreats have been titled; โPower with clarity & heartโ. The retreat still focuses on power, but it is emphasized in a slightly different way.
The intention is to move away from changing, and move with and towards what we can. What we know, in our appearance and form, and to honor it. And to find movement and dance that confirms, what we come from, in order to rediscover ourselves.
๐จ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐:
When we walk through the street of our childhood, our memory is activated for the ways, we were in the world at that time. We notice what could create excitement, fear, joy, resistance, etc..but also a time that was before our adult version.
Is there something we have lost along the way. Is there something that was forgotten, unheard or overlooked in the efforts to become an adult? ๐โฆ.maybe a certain fascination, a way of being, an immediacy, a certain feeling, etc.
๐ฏ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐'๐ ๐๐๐๐
Instead of being fixated on change have to happen, we move against the current, in relation to the times development compulsion. We aren't there for "traditionel development" โ but for unwinding the past.
We move back to the known, in order to unfold ourselves from a new, more honest position and in more coherence with ourselves.
In moving with what we can and what we know, there is a deep form of self-care. Instead of striving for a "better version" of ourselves, we use the retreat to find: "This is my soundboard. This is my fundamental tone".
When we dance to affirm what we come from, the dance becomes a ceremony for our existence rather than a "training class".
The season, spring, is like a backdrop for this retreat. We receive inspiration from the return of light and the power that lies in everything sprouting. And use the season, and the transition, to get in touch with our own and the power of the group.

The community is very central in those days. We are not just there to find the power in own space.
The retreat finds special inspiration in how to create the good community, where everyone contributes actively, regardless of whether it's in your dance or your daily task.

A clear framework and the program aim to minimize unnecessary disturbances and create a special space where you can give yourself completely to your own dance/process. The dance is our joint ritual for the entire stay.
There are 6 hours of dance and movement on a full day. There is leisure time in the middle of the day, so you have time for exploring the fantastic nature surrounding Lyngborgen.
Below is an example of how a day could be structured:
07.30-08.30: Breakfast
09.00-13.00: 5Rhythms dance
13.30-14:30: Lunch
14.30-17.00: Leisure time
17.00-19.00: 5Rhythms dance - A wave that builds on today's theme
19.30-20.30: Dinner
20:30-22:00: Evening - Leisure or community activities

Lyngborgen is located on a large natural plot of 60,000 m2 and approx. 500 m from a beautiful beach in the bay of Sejerรธ.
There is a small natural forest on the plot, soccer field, volleyball court, basket net, playground and campfire. Lyngborgen borders a beautiful and protected nature area and this area are the only one between Lyngborgen and the beach (see photos in the event).
The camp contains a large and separate pyramid-shaped space with wooden floor.
The beds are divided into double rooms, 4 to 6-person rooms. Therefore, you must be confident with sleeping with others, of the same gender, unless you come in a group, with a number - 4 to 6 persons - that fits in the rooms.
It's possible to buy a single room, a bed in a double room and cabins. It will also be possible to bring a tent, or a wagon, to stay in without any additional charge, if you want some more privacy.

Lyngborgen is located 90 km from Copenhagen and there is public transport to the site. There will also be an opportunity to coordinate transport in a group on Facebook. You can there connect with people who go by car to the retreat.

To make the retreat as accessible, to as many people as possible, the price is low. This can be done because the facilities of Lyngborg aren't luxury. The accommodation is more in the hostel category.
Emphasis is placed on having good facilities for the dance and resources in creating a good program that can promote a rewarding process - less luxury but more effect
The camp is functioning by the help of the group. That means that you have a task every day: breakfast, lunch, dinner, washing up or cleaning - approx. 1 hour duration.
But it isn't just about price. It's deliberate that the retreat is built on active co-responsibility. The good communities more often arise where we ourselves have a share in the creation.

I have a โค๏ธ that beats for dance. Dance has followed me since I started, as a 3-year-old, at Ulla Poulsen's dance school in Ringsted .
My interest in body and movement started with my yoga and meditation practice when I was in my early twenties.
I became a yoga teacher in 2005 and have practiced 5Rhythms dance since 2007. I have taught improvised dance in my own concept - Nuets Dans - since 2015 and have since become a 5Rhythms teacher.
I'm also a psychologist with my own practice. I have worked clinically, i.a. with therapy and supervision, since 2005.
In recent years, I have been very busy developing methods where the body and movement are actively used in therapy.
I attended my first retreat at the age of 26 and have since participated in many different retreats. The experiences, both good and bad, help to create the framework for the stay.
Over the past 12 years I have organized many different camps and retreats. My โค๏ธ also beats for what we can create together.
My own training and teaching can be summarized as a training in; "being with what there is", regardless of whether it is in dance, therapy, meditation, yoga or another form of practice. This is what I strive for in my own life and try to pass on. I have a son who is 18 years old, and isn't that interested in 5Rhythms dance, but I love him anyway ๐ โค๏ธ
