The sun has made its appearance again, shining its new and warm energy onto the earth.

Nature is in full bloom, birds are singing their songs gracefully and people are outside again.

And so we transition into summer.

The season of optimism, fertility, hope, adventure and growth.

This is a time to nurture our spirits and manifest the greatest potential of our lives.

A time of heightened clarity and energy, a peak of strength and creativity.

The world is in full bloom. But it is important to take a moment with yourself to feel what happens in you when our society is in such an outwardly moving energy.

To keep on coming back to your own inner earth.

Summer is associated with the element of fire. A beautiful invitation to connect with our own inner fire.

What do you want to manifest this summer?

With love,
Team AVANI

Retreating yourself back to nature.
To receive her messages.
Taking a moment of silence, in a world that can’t stop talking. We are bombarded daily with the noise of crowded places, workplaces and entertainment platforms. We live in a world where things are always trying to get our attention.

Which is a big contrast with our own inner world, where stillness is always present, if only we make space for it.

When the world feels overwhelming, silence is a powerful antidote.

It’s an oasis of quiet space, your inner sanctuary.

The silence helps us to connect with others, but also to guide you back to your own wise nature. It enables us to focus our attention on deep matters of the heart.

So, stand still for a moment, close your eyes, take a deep breath in and embrace your silence.

With love,
Team AVANI

S L E E P

In AVANI we have two dorms, two private rooms and a yurt to sleep.

Sleep is essential in our biological ability to soothe stress, regulate hormones and optimize our immune system.

We believe that a good night of rest is so important in all the inner work we do. It influences our emotional well-being and mood as sleep facilitates the brain’s processing of emotional information. During our sleep, we evaluate and remember thoughts and memories.

At night the moon is at her peak here on the Northern Hemisphere, providing her energy to the earth. While the Southern Hemisphere is nurtured by the sun.

Us human beings, are consciously or unconsciously connected with the energy of the moon, which is symbolising the more quieter and intuitive feminine energy during the day.

This makes that sleep restores and gives space to integrate through the power of rest. It’s the bodies way of recharging and healing.

This is why we maximise the comfort of the bedrooms in AVANI, as a support for your journey.

With love,
Team AVANI

Flowers are rising from the dark soil of the earth, ripened in the dark, showing their colors when they are ready. Their innate wisdom keep the planet alive as they pollinate the earth. They don’t doubt if they should blossom, but they trust the seasons timing.

So, while you’re having your morning walk in the forest or your afternoon tea in your garden, observe what’s growing, what’s blooming, what’s ripening or what needs a bit more time.

As nature is such a big teacher, feel how these colors, flowers and plants are mirroring your own unique colors, your own growth, your own light and your own gifts.

Don’t force them to blossom, but feel how the cyclical nature of death and rebirth is guiding you. Trust your own inner timing, while watering yourself the nourishment you need.

What is this spring inviting you to blossom?

P L A Y

Theres so much life in play.

Play invites joy, freedom, and love.
It lets our inner child be seen.

Play gives expression to what lives inside of us. It’s the carefree moments connected to the purity of our hearts. Through playing we heal all different parts of ourselves. It helps us to live with the mystery of life, by being in the spur of the moment. Not looking back or ahead, but being in the here and now, connecting our roots in the earth.

Spring is a beautiful season to invite more play as it’s a season that represents play, exploration, adventure and new things.

Go out to experiment and to try new things. Laugh heartily at jokes. And bring in this playful energy into your daily life.

What is your favorite way to play?

With love,
Team AVANI

Spring has arrived.

The dark months of winter are slowly moving into the warmth of the light.

The daylight increases again, reminding us that the light will always return back to earth. Back to ourselves.

Nature is waking up after a deep rest.
Birds are chirping again and bright colors are coming back.

It’s a time of rebirth.

The energy of spring symbolizes new ideas, a time with fresh and playful energy, that makes you feel alive and inspired to take action on your dreams.

Spring brings clarity. It’s the time to get really clear on what you want to see grow in your life.

If you’re really clear on where you want to see new growth, you can access such deep power to transform your life & flourish your wildest dreams.

In order to receive this clarity, try new things out, play with new ideas and connect with the early springs spirit!

So,

What excites you right now?
What are you interested in?
What are you drawn toward?

With love,
Team AVANI

P R E S E N C E

Presence can serve as a guide to a different way of being with all of your feelings. Emotions are a normal and human part of how we respond to situations.

But your most challenging emotions do not have to rule your life.

Being with your emotions, rather than being your emotions, allow them to change.

Witness yourself from a place of curiosity when your emotions are coming to the surface, it means you’re ready to have a deep dive into them in order to liberate yourself from those emotional loops you keep yourself locked in.

In order to tackle them, we need to become aware about what we are feeling.

This requires full honesty to yourself.

It askes to take action that alters the intensity of an emotional experience. Which doesn’t mean suppressing your emotions, not at all, but to go through them.

‘There’s no way out but to go through it’, is something our groundkeeper always says.

To not escape into external distractions, but to really pause, breathe and witness what is living inside of us.

Slowing down to recognise the moment between the trigger and your response.

‘Simply’ being present with all there is, without identifying with all there is.

So we would love to invite you, the next time an heavy emotion comes up to give them space and breathe into them, so you can hear the messages and release yourself from any stagnant energy.

With love,
Team AVANI

H U G S

As human beings, we have an innate need to be touched, both physically and emotionally. Any form of touching spreads energy, and the emotional warmth that can be experienced through being held or holding someone in your arms can be deeply comforting.

A warm welcome in each others presence.

A way to connect with each other.

Really taking a moment to acknowledge the other.

Heart to heart.

Giving someone a squeeze releases oxytocin. Which is also known as the ‘love hormone’, which alliviates feelings of isolation and anger.
It’s shown that being exposed to hugs can support healing and that they have beneficial health benefits like stress reduction, a boosted immune system and less depression.

This expression of love can strongly transmit the sense of being accepted and cared for. Hugging communicates beyond words. It breaks barriers that are in the way of fully allowing ourselves to be our vulnerable, authentic self.

You might have heard phrases such as ‘your arms are the wings of your heart’. This is an example of using hugging to welcome people in into our heartspace.

And with that, we can fully welcome each other in everything we are from such a heartfelt place. That’s were community is for, to co-regulate our nervous systems as a collective.

We hope to get to hug you soon!

With love,
Team AVANI

Y O U R B O D Y K N O W S

The human body is capable of miraculous things. It is an intelligent system, deeply connected to our minds and the world around us, and brilliantly designed to self regulate and heal.

We receive so much information through our body. The body often already knows before our mind does.

This can manifest in the form of where we hold tension in our muscles, how we breath, how our menstrual cycle is, illnesses or how much energy we have.

But we have the power to heal if we go inside with full honesty. Reflecting on what’s truly appearing in our system, where we hold back and how we’re not serving our true self.

We can do this through various practises that can support us in our process of coming back to your bodies wisdom.

Breathwork, yoga, meditation, plant-medicine, art therapy, dancing, sweatlodges and so much more.

What is your favorite practise to self-regulate your system?

AVANI is a retreat centre in the middle of nature. AVANI means good earth in Sanskrit and we believe that nature is our ultimate guide. There’s no seperation between nature and human beings.

We welcome you to surrender in a healing space of openness, where you feel safe to go within yourself and reconnect to your own nature where you can find new perspectives.

We help you transform the mind and body and discover your self-healing ability by reconnecting to nature in order to access a deeper wisdom within yourself.

Our wish is that everybody who comes to AVANI can experience their own inner ‘good earth’. In connection with AVANI you will experience a deeper sense of authentic power, which will bring you more trust, energy and fulfilment.

What is your connection to AVANI?
