THE HOLISTIC RETREAT 

Food for thought

10-14 March 2024

with Ulrica Norberg and Henning Bensland

BOOK/MORE INFO

At a glance, a holistic approach to life and wellness means to provide support that looks at the whole person and try to merge all aspects of living together as a n entity. Holistic medicine looks at the whole person for answers, not just at physical symptoms. So, when approaching one’s health from a more holistic perspective, you look and evaluate something from a complete of total point of view, where all aspects of wellbeing is considered as a factors that influence or sense of self, level of awareness and health status.

It is easy as a human to only look at ourselves and the world and venture an opinion from what we can divulge in. That is highly subjective and from there its quite hard to increase a level of consciousness.  If we start to practice examining a more complete picture, we gain the advantage of more often than not, reaching some realization and insight that there is far more value to the whole, which also gives more freedom, ease and power from within.

We are entire eco-systems where our brain, senses, emotions, muscles, organs, nerve system and all our surroundings need to work together as a network in order for us to function.

Master yoga teacher Ulrica Norberg and Henning Bensland (holistic therapist and one of the founders of Cal Reiet)  have both experienced deep healing and have been adopting a more holistic, multidimensional approach and embracing the power of nurturing mental well-being through body, mind and spirit practices. They are here to share their rich knowledge and deep insight with you in what will be a truly inspirational 5 couple of days. Expect to use your body, breath, emotions, thoughts, sleep and nourishing foods as tools to start building yourself towards higher health and well-being.
