SOMATIC RELEASE RETREAT, VOL. 2 / EASTERN
THURSDAY – MONDAY / 28/03/24 – 01/04/24
For the second time, we will gather for five days over the magical time of the long Easter weekend in a loving and supportive community at beautiful NONNA HOF, where you are invited to physically RECHARGE, emotionally RESTORE, mentally RELEASE, and spiritually RECONNECT. We will work with the energetic layers first through letting go processes and different somatic practices. Mental clarity and guidance will follow.
With all the creative tools: daily different meditation & breathwork techniques, yogic practices, rejuvenating & empowering sounds of the gongs and other healing instruments, dancing & movement, sharing circles, astrology guidance & rituals, optional workshops (anger release, voice activation, creative journaling, manifestation), one-on-one sessions, and more; you will learn to let go of what no longer serves you, releasing old patterns and hidden attachments.
Co-created by Martin Balance, your space holder, and Evelina Renta, who will prepare healthy & plant-based Ayurvedic food – we will all share in a community. Martin is a Somatic Movement & Reiki Practitioner, Kundalini, Yin & Yoga Nidra Facilitator, Gong Sound Teacher-Facilitator, Breath, Mindfulness & Meditation Guide, and consulting Hellenistic Astrologer offering regular classes in Berlin yoga & meditation studios since 2019. As an intuitive cook, Evelina finds inspiration for her culinary creations in the serene ambience of the retreat, where every dish becomes a testament to the endless possibilities that fuel her passion for the art of cooking.
Surrounded by a calm nature and a rural & peaceful landscape, you will take time to slow down and prepare physically and energetically for the season ahead. Besides all the optional activities, you will also have plenty of free time to relax by yourself or in a group, taking a break from a busy lifestyle and finding space for self-care and self-reflection, allowing your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies to integrate during walks in nature & sauna infusions. Invite yourself on that journey of new beginnings, taking the next step of the divine rhythm of self-discovery.

Our Breathwork Journey offers a powerful opportunity to heal disruptions in your energy field within this space by connecting deeply with your higher self through the breath.
Conscious connected breathing facilitates the release of trapped emotions, rewires neural pathways, and fosters a renewed sense of joy, inner peace, and clarity about your future self.

SATURDAY / 11/11/23 / 6:30–8:30 PM
New Moons mark the beginning of the lunar cycle and the opening of a new chapter in our lives. This inward-focused energy invites us to connect deeply with our authenticity. What truly matters to you? What do you desire? How are you feeling?
Ruled by the water element and the transformative power of Pluto, Scorpio, the sign governing this lunation, encourages us to confront our deepest emotions and embrace growth. Adding to the significance, the 1111 vibration—a high-frequency number associated with spiritual awakening and new beginnings—amplifies this transformative energy.
On this special day, we will embark on a mystical, meditative journey using creative prompts, journaling, manifestation practices, and the resonant sounds of various gongs. Together, we will create space for a fresh perspective and align with the energies of the new season.

This New Moon offers a chance to release what no longer serves us, allowing us to step closer to our authentic selves.
Our New Moon Self-Love Breathwork Journey & Cacao Ceremony provides a sacred space to reconnect with your essence through the transformative power of breath and cacao. In this heart-centred ritual, we will share ceremonial cacao, setting intentions to unlock euphoric states, release negativity, and nurture the loving energy within. The heart medicine of cacao will guide us to discover and deepen our connection with our inner light.
Through a conscious connected breathing practice, you will access the subconscious mind, release trapped emotions and trauma, and rewire old patterns, fostering a renewed sense of joy, peace, and self-love.

FULL MOON / LUNAR ECLIPSE SOMATIC BREATH JOURNEY
SATURDAY / 06/05/23 / 6:30–8:30 PM
Eclipse season marks a powerful time of transformation. A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align so the Moon passes through Earth's shadow, carries an intensity far greater than a typical Full Moon. This is a profound moment to manifest your deepest desires and release anything that holds you back.
Somatic Breathwork provides the perfect space to let go of what no longer serves you and embrace new possibilities. This conscious connected breathing practice allows you to access your subconscious mind, release trapped emotions and traumas, and rewire old patterns. Through this process, you can rediscover joy, inner peace, and a renewed sense of life's purpose.
Sound plays a pivotal role in this transformative journey. With a carefully curated soundtrack and the resonant vibrations of the gong, you’ll rise to altered states of consciousness, anchoring new beliefs and creating lasting effects on your physical and mental well-being. No prior breathwork experience is needed—this session is open to everyone ready to embrace the power of the Eclipse and step into a new chapter of growth and possibility.

NEW MOON / SOLAR ECLIPSE EMOTIONAL FREEDOM RITUAL
SATURDAY / 15/04/23 / 7:00–8:30 PM
Eclipse season is a time of profound transformation. A New Moon Solar Eclipse, occurring when the Moon aligns between the Earth and the Sun, carries an extraordinary power beyond that of a regular New Moon. This celestial event invites you to dream boldly and set intentions and affirmations charged with immense potential.
This workshop is an opportunity to pause, release stress, and promote deep relaxation. It’s a space to transform and let go of obstructive emotions such as anxiety, sadness, anger, guilt, or frustration. In doing so, you’ll cultivate self-esteem, foster positive feelings, and experience a greater sense of inner peace. This practice also maximizes creativity, visioning, goal setting, self-empowerment, and confidence.
Through a dynamic blend of techniques—including Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), self-Reiki massage, cleansing pranayama exercises, guided meditations, and the soothing resonance of the Moon Gong—you’ll learn to release old patterns, hidden attachments, and self-limiting beliefs. With the added insights of astrology and Traditional Chinese Medicine, this journey will help you open to greater possibilities and align with your highest potential.
