We will immerse ourselves in thepower of mantra, prayer and heart songs, surrendering to the flow of chanting and sound meditations, experiencing the incredible potency of our own voices and the deep resonance within the silence. Note: No experience or pre-requisite needed for to attend this weekend retreat. All are welcome. Simply come with an open mind and a willing to expand your heart. Be yourself, be authentic, true, bring your pain and laughter. This is a drug and alcohol free event |

What is the experience?
Chanting is a beautiful, direct experience and pathway to still the mind, return to our centre and feel bliss.
The morning movement sessions (yoga and chi gong) will activate the energy flow in our bodies and allow us to feel more.
Breathing techniques will purify the nervous system as well as balance and let us be more present
Nature connection & earth rituals help us to find our place in this world, create alliance with our surroundings, let us sink into gratitude through the ancient wisdoms of native traditions as well as our modern day guidance and knowing
We will immerse into vocal activation & sound journeys as tools for our expression as well as our receptivity, relaxation and surrender.
Stillness, meditation, reflection time, space to be and inspirations to dream wild are some of the main ingredients of this gathering. When we quieten down and focus on what is most valuable for us in our lives the truth of our inner most being will be become noticeably louder and the forces of the universe will guide us where we need to be ... so we can return home.
Meditative, ecstatic, blissful... hearts wide open

"The Hearts Wide Open retreat with Lulu & Mischka has truly been a deep healing experience. I left with a fulfilled heart widest open, a clear vision and a sense of deep trust. Feeling connected to the sacred nature within and without. Recharged.
We started each day in silence, enjoyed a soothing and energising yoga/ QiGong practice and got to listen to Lulu & Mischka’s divine and deeply touching voices. Relaxing, Breathing, Listening- It’s been a treat. The chanting sessions with the whole family have been my personal highlight.
Letting it all go, being present in the moment, feeling and seeing the divinity within all of us. So healing, heart opening and pure magic. Feels like home. Lulu & Mischka have such a loving and caring presence, holding the space during the whole retreat so beautifully that I felt safe to dive deep into the experience. A feeling of being seen, loved, supported and very free. They were open to answer question, having a talk about the things that needed to be shared. Anytime.“We’re always here” is what they said. YES, that’s exactly what it felt like during the retreat and still does. Love Natalie" - Germany 2019
