Embodied Release

Hi everyone,
I’m a few days after hosting the Circling & Surrendered Leadership weekend in Berlin, once again feeling connected to the clarity around my passion for this practice — and the desire to keep immersing myself even deeper in it. The art of listening to what is already here and now, embracing polarities, recognizing wholeness, and welcoming Life to express itself in its full spectrum.


It’s been a while since I brought a new format or project, and now I’m excited to share with you Surrender – Devotion – Work, a 7-day residential retreat in the Polish countryside!

It’s not only an opportunity to go deep into practice, but also to integrate work into it — exploring how we can manifest ourselves from a place of surrender and attunement to the Source.
2 upcoming invites, links in the comments:

👁 Circling & Surrendered Leadership weekend Copenhagen 8-9.11 supported by Sofie Meyer , Anna Miro, Anelia Mitova
👁NEW Surrender - Devotion - Work, 7-day Residential in Poland, cohosted with Emma van den Boogert

A week-long gathering for open-hearted visionaries, freelancers, and self-employed creators longing to merge their creative work with deep inner presence.

The Surrender - Devotion - Work Residential is an invitation to live and create from deep listening and attuning to Life — to let it express through you, not as effort, but as a gift.

Together, we aim to create a space where contemplation, devotion, and creation naturally coexist: working hours intertwined with meditation, prayer, Surrendered Leadership practice, shared meals, singing circles, mantras, sauna, and evenings around the fire.

It’s a week for all of us to remember that work can be sacred, that presence can be productive, and that creation can flow from surrender.

*We see prayer as a heart and soul-centered practice, not bound to any religious system. You are welcome, regardless of your systems of belief.

It would be lovely to see some of you at any of them!
Much love,
M

I want you to invite you for something special.

A week-long gathering for open-hearted visionaries, freelancers, and self-employed creators longing to merge their creative work with deep inner presence.

The Surrender - Devotion - Work Residential is an invitation to live and create from deep listening and attuning to Life — to let it express through you, not as effort, but as a gift.

Together we want to weave a field where contemplation, devotion, and creation naturally coexist: working hours intertwined with meditation, prayer, Surrendered Leadership practice, shared meals, singing circles, mantras, sauna, and evenings around the fire.

It’s a week for all of us to remember that work can be sacred, that presence can be productive, and that creation can flow from surrender.

INVITATION
Recently, I returned from Danish SAS — Circling Leadership Training, and one of the edges I was exploring there was the polarity between existing wholeness and the potential for growth.

On one hand, I believe in and in times experience a sense of completeness that seems to be in the nature of everyone and everything — a sense that nothing is missing, that life is already whole.
And on the other hand, there is our human drive for learning, healing, expansion — the longing to evolve and grow.

I notice how often in healing and transformational work we orient towards what can be improved or changed. Yet, there is a growing longing in me to stay close to what is already whole, to what doesn’t need fixing.

How can we hold ourselves, each other, and life itself from that perspective — embracing both the wholeness that already is and the unfolding that keeps happening?

8–9 November, I’ll be hosting a Circling & Surrendered Leadership weekend in Copenhagen, where I wish to honor and explore this possibility — seeing the world through the eyes of wholeness. 🌿

Some picture memories from the last circling evening that took place at Virkelig back in June. During the summer months, I have led the practice for several weeks in Portugal at the Transformational Connection community hub. It left a refreshing imprint on me, and I am in the process of integrating a deeper sense of surrender, leaning towards the divine, and focusing less on 'fixing and repairing'.

There are two upcoming Circling weekends and a 6-month Leadership Circling Training that I’m joining, which I’d love to highlight and invite you to. If you’ve been circling with us on Tuesdays, you’re welcome to join with a discount.

A book, a series, and a podcast that touched me deeply this summer.

I hope you're riding your last summer waves well. Today, I felt inspired to share a book, a podcast, and a series that have impacted me over the past two months: Book: Grace and Grit Written by Ken Wilber, the book is based on his relationship with his wife, Terry Wilber, who was diagnosed with canc...

Last weekend with Anelia we hosted another Breathwork Immersion, and it was the last weekend workshop for me before the summer 🌞

I am quite happy about how it went and also glad that intense events season will now slow down :)

There are plenty of Circling weekends I have planned for after summer, closest ones are Copenhagen 13-14.09 and Aarhus 19-21.09. All info on my website Embodied Release ❣️

And if you want to practice in the summer I will spend the end of July and August months in the Community Circling Hub from Transformational Connection in Portugal. You can find info on their website, it's possible to come there for a short or long term stay. I will lead there and support running the venue.

Finally you can also check the website of Relating Arts run by Peter Munthe-Kaas that lists different relational practices led by various leaders.

Much love

Some weeks ago, Peter Munthe-Kaas recorded an interview with me about the practices that I lead and my style of leadership. I just watched it now and actually enjoy listening to myself, which is pleasant to discover 🙂 https://youtu.be/okfcFilCqrs

The interview was recorded in the context of establishing Relating Arts, https://relatingarts.com/, a project aimed at gathering relational practices from various facilitators and approaches in one place.

On that more I also want to mention the upcoming weekends I am leading:
- 20-22.06 Breathwork Immersion: Inhale Your Freedom with Anelia Mitova
- 13-14.09 Circling Weekend Copenhagen | Surrendered Leadership
- 19-21.09 Circling & Surrendered Leadership | Weekend Aarhus

Love,

Letting go OR letting in?

'I want to let it go.' What a tempting perspective. Becoming free of behaviors or inner parts that cause us a trouble. At the same time, that approach often carries elements of self-rejection. I do not want it. We try to heal without coming from a fully welcoming, embracing place. 'I want to let it....

Hey
I am at the airport, in between two extended weekends of Circling trainings in Denmark and Netherlands.
Since 2 weeks I continue exploring the edges of willingness to be alive, what it entails, deep roots of rage and anger, and access to innocence.

Wanting to drink the blood, taste the gold and make love with reality.

Learning to stay with parts of me that are terrified and ashamed.

I feel committed to the planned weekends and look forward to exploring our realties together
