**The Dance of Life- ‘The Space Between is Where the Magic Happens.’
**Open to both Men & Women**
It’s been just over two years since the first Dance of Life Retreat. Today, everything looks and feels different. It is simply impossible to not have been affected by the growing chaos in the world and on this weekend, we will mindfully enter the space between, connect with the innate wisdom of our bodies, unravel tension, regulate the nervous system and have fun. Together we will experience the perfect blend of breathwork, movement (in all senses of the word), sound and tribal living, authentic communication, deep listening, dialogue and sacred fire. We will be eating delicious vegan food, welcoming in the light of Shabbat and dropping deep into the Winter yin energy. I am delighted that Uri Dvori will again be supporting this retreat. Uri has spent many years facilitating mens circles, retreats and workshops and is currently on the team for the Shiva mens festival.
Date – 27 -29th January. We will begin at18:00 on Thursday and close after Shabbat.
Investment – 1500 nis including :-
-Basic accommodation (Mattress in dome or you can bring a tent.)
-All meals – vegan
-Tea, coffee, snacks
-Full retreat program
Location -Teva HaAdam ( 30 mins from Tel Aviv) https://www.teva-haadam.co.il/

BERT HELLINGER was a German psychotherapist. He was known worldwide for the creation of therapeutic method ′′ Family Constellation.’
He left this powerful text...

Life disappoints you so you stop living with illusions and see reality.
Life destroys everything superfluous until only the important remains.
Life doesn't leave you alone, so you stop blaming yourself and accept everything as ′′ is ".
Life is going to withdraw what you have, until you stop complaining and start to thank.
Life sends conflicting people to heal you, so you stop looking out and start reflecting who you are inside.
Life lets you fall again and again, until you decide to learn the lesson.
Life takes you out of the way and presents you crossroads, until you stop wanting to control everything and flow like a river.
Life puts your enemies on the road, until you stop ′′ reacting ".
Life scares you and will scare you as many times as necessary, until you lose your fear and regain your faith.
Life distance you from the people you love, until you understand that we are not that body, but the soul it contains.
Life laughs at you many and many times, until you stop taking everything so seriously and can laugh at yourself.
Life breaks you in as many parts as necessary, for light to pe*****te you.
Life confronts you with the rebels, until you stop trying to control.
Life repeats the same message, if necessary with screams and tapas, until you finally hear it.
Life sends lightning and storms, to wake up.
Life humiliates you and sometimes defeats you again and again until you decide to let your ego die.
Life denies you goods and greatness until you stop wanting goods and greatness and start serving.
Life clips your wings and prunes your roots, until you don't need wings or roots, just disappear in the ways and your being flies.
Life denies you miracles, until you understand everything is a miracle.
Life shortens your time, so you can rush to learn to live.
Life ridicules you until you do nothing, no one, so then it will become everything.
Life doesn't give you what you want, but what you need to evolve.
Life hurts and torments you until you drop your whims and tantrums and appreciate the breath.
Life hides you treasures until you learn to come out to life and look for them.
Life denies you God, until you see Him in everyone and everything.
Life awakens you, prunes you, breaks you, disappoints you... but trust me, that's for your best self to manifest... until only love remains in you ".

Over the past month I have been facilitating a number of online Breathwork Journeys. Like everyone, the current situation pushed me out of my comfort zone and into unknown territories. I felt the call, opened the space and pure magic has been unfolding. So much gratitude to all the people who have been courageous enough to journey with me. The connection between people around the world has been insane!! Each time we take that time to come together and breathe, we are gifting not only ourselves but the collective.. I see it, I feel it, I know it and I am blown away by it.
After the weekend I will be adding more dates including a very special project which is currently being created. Shabbat shalom and so much love ❤️ 🌈

** Connecting to Inner Freedom Through Breath ***
Over the past few weeks, I have been exploring the notion of FREEDOM. What it means? How it is experienced? What it feels like & what makes me feel most free? As more and more restrictions have been put in place, I have felt even more called to draw my attention inwards, to connect and expand the sense of freedom within. This is not something that can be determined from anything outside of us.
As Pesach approaches, I feel it’s a very important time to reflect and connect to FREEDOM.
With that in mind, the next Breath work series I will be offering is ‘Connecting to inner freedom.’

Breathing circle in Raanana last night 💕

For the past few years I have been facilitating a sacred woman’s breathing circle in Raanana. Each time we come together with the collective intention of taking some space to connect inwards and to receive exactly what we need most for ourselves in that moment. Last night we honored the Pisces New Moon and explored heart brain coherence ❤️

As I began to love myself ❤️

As I began to love myself
I found that anguish and emotional suffering
are only warning signs that I was living
against my own truth.
Today, I know, this is Authenticity.

As I began to love myself
I understood how much it can offend somebody
if I try to force my desires on this person,
even though I knew the time was not right
and the person was not ready for it,
and even though this person was me.
Today I call this Respect.

As I began to love myself
I stopped craving for a different life,
and I could see that everything
that surrounded me
was inviting me to grow.
Today I call this Maturity.

As I began to love myself
I understood that at any circumstance,
I am in the right place at the right time,
and everything happens at the exactly right moment.
So I could be calm.
Today I call this Self-Confidence.

As I began to love myself
I quit stealing my own time,
and I stopped designing huge projects
for the future.
Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness,
things I love to do and that make my heart cheer,
and I do them in my own way
and in my own rhythm.
Today I call this Simplicity.

As I began to love myself
I freed myself of anything
that is no good for my health –
food, people, things, situations,
and everything that drew me down
and away from myself.
At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism.
Today I know it is Love of Oneself.

As I began to love myself
I quit trying to always be right,
and ever since
I was wrong less of the time.
Today I discovered that is Modesty.

As I began to love myself
I refused to go on living in the past
and worrying about the future.
Now, I only live for the moment,
where everything is happening.
Today I live each day,
day by day,
and I call it Fulfillment.

As I began to love myself
I recognized
that my mind can disturb me
and it can make me sick.
But as I connected it to my heart,
my mind became a valuable ally.
Today I call this connection Wisdom of the Heart.

We no longer need to fear arguments,
confrontations or any kind of problems
with ourselves or others.
Even stars collide,
and out of their crashing, new worlds are born.
Today I know: This is Life!

-Kim McMillen

Healing the split with the Breath- So simple- So clear and So deeply transformative 🙏

Our work with the breath is about healing the splits and supporting the individual to come back into wholeness.

Silence is essential. We need silence, just as much as we need air, just as much as plants need light. If our minds are crowded with words and thoughts, there is no space for us.’
