The Twin Paths Retreat: Awareness and Love
15th-18th of October 2026
There is something truly special that happens when we step away from everyday life and the familiar. Surrounded by nature and stillness, a space opens where we can listen more deeply and
meet ourselves in new ways.
So take this opportunity to enrich your practice with new meaning and knowledge. Become more aware in the body, gain understanding of how it works with the conscious and unconscious mind, connect and activate through the heart.
Take the twin paths, there and back again, to yourself.
What makes this retreat unique?
This retreat brings together different paths:
body, awareness and heart, into one shared experience.
Through movement, stillness, and guided practices, you are invited to explore yourself more deeply, reconnect, and gain tools that stay with you beyond the retreat.
During the retreat you will experience:
-
A deeper connection to your body
-
Greater emotional openness and clarity
-
A safe space to slow down and listen inward
-
Tools to bring awareness into your everyday life
-
A sense of connection, grounding, and shared experience
Why we created this retreat
Mia
Dharma Mountain has been a very special place for me. After years of teaching classes and workshops, I felt a natural pull to create something deeper, a space where we can slow down and explore more fully.
Bringing together yoga, embodiment, and ceremonial elements with this group of teachers felt both intuitive and meaningful. There is a quiet depth in this work, and I truly believe it can open new layers of insight and integration.
If you feel a resonance, you are warmly welcome.
Jeremy
I have always been drawn to the deeper mechanisms behind how we function, whether through traditional Chinese medicine, integrative health, or work with the subconscious.
Over the years, I’ve found that when different approaches are brought together, something meaningful happens - insights emerge, and change becomes more accessible.
Working alongside yoga practitioners from this perspective continues to reveal new layers of understanding. This retreat offers a rare opportunity to explore beyond familiar patterns and discover something new.
Maria
As a yoga practitioner and body therapist, I understood that the body goes far beyond movement or technique.
My own practice became a doorway into a much deeper relationship with my body - how I listen, respond, and meet myself changed how I feel in my body which brought a new depth and meaning to my day to day.
At some point, it felt natural to create a space where this could be shared. Not as something to learn in theory, but something to experience.
This retreat is an invitation for those who feel that there is more to explore. A space to
reconnect, understand your body in a new way, and take something real with you into your
everyday life.
