We invite you to step away from the noise of the world and immerse yourself in the simplicity of being.
Nature, Art, and Presence are our companions. Whether it’s during a walk among the trees, feeling the earth beneath your feet, or shaping a stone as a form of grounding and pure expression — each moment becomes an invitation to return to yourself. Here is the space where we can meet our own magic.
To do this, we must first recognize what stands in the way.
When we, humans, began exploring ourselves and the world around us, we didn’t yet realize that the outer world is a mirror reflecting our inner beliefs, intentions, and sense of self-worth. And so, we began to fear it. We went through many experiences, often unpleasant or even traumatic, which we could not understand. As individuals and as humanity, we programmed the mind to protect us from the unknown — from potentially dangerous situations. We trained it to control and direct our perceptions. We taught it to doubt ourselves, for we did not trust ourselves, based on those early experiences. And so, our mind became the ruler of our life.
In doing so, we largely lost touch with our deeper layers — our intuition, our Self. What remained was perhaps a vague sense that there is something more, that life isn’t just what we live from day to day. But even that feeling was often overridden by doubt and fear. After all, we must survive in this world — hold a job, care for children, deal with never-ending chores. There’s no time to dream of another way…
But the role we gave our mind is a heavy one. Deep down, the mind knows it cannot handle it. It cannot foresee all outcomes, cannot truly control what will happen. So, it stays alert, tense, anxious. This exhausts us. Many are brought to the edge.
Even if we’ve touched something beyond — how do we stay connected to it?
The way out is to allow ourselves to go beyond the mind – to feel again, and to be.
And how can we do that? We, Gregor and Natalia, offer three “tools” that we’ve explored ourselves:
Presence
– our presence, which shines inner light and inspires different potentials in others, helping them connect with their essence, their Soul.
The presence of nature and its seen and unseen beings
– nature simply is. It lives without agenda. In its silence, our mind can soften. Through its beauty, we meet the beauty within. Some spots in nature carry unique keys — when we allow it, they unlock new dimensions and potentials within us. In our experience, nature is one of the most beautiful paths to self-realization.
The path of art
– stone carving is both an artistic expression and an inner journey. It requires presence and devotion. Just as you shape the stone, the stone shapes you — helping you become aware of your own story. It is both grounding and liberating.
A shared quality of all these tools is that they do not involve active “doing” or digging into oneself. There is no pushing. It is about cultivating awareness and allowing. What is ready to surface will do so. The process is led by the wisdom and compassion of the Soul.
Each retreat or workshop is uniquely inspired and never repeated. We follow intuition – and so, each participant who joins becomes part of the co-creation.
What do we do during retreats and workshops?
We create a safe space together, and through gently guided exercises, we support the development of awareness — of your sensations, your inner experience. The focus is to allow yourself to go beyond the mind and to feel what is present in the moment. Nature becomes a mirror of you. Some may see images, others may feel parts of their body or energy flow, others may perceive colours. Some simply rest in Presence, simply are. Whatever arises is welcome.
As we open and allow ourselves to feel again, we also begin to meet different parts of ourselves — different aspects. The path to true freedom lies in fully accepting them — with their whole story, and everything they’ve been through. In a safe space, these aspects can return (it feels like they come home), integrate, and bring a drop of wisdom — the distilled essence of the experience they carry.
As we go deeper into nature, we may also encounter beings of nature who offer their presence and wisdom. We guide you in connecting with them and support you in stepping beyond the mind into deeper wisdom.
Afterwards, we gather in a circle where those who wish can share their experiences. Your story may inspire others, just as theirs may inspire you. A small group creates a supportive space where sharing is safe and valued.
A meaningful part of the retreat or workshop is time for yourself — for integration, rest, walks in nature, or deepening the relationship with your inner being. This is unstructured time, to be used in whatever way feels most nourishing. In the afternoons or evenings, there is space for gathering — maybe with music, dance, or simply the joy of meeting others.
In some retreats, a personal session with one of us is part of the program.
The stone carving workshop includes learning the actual craft. Before we begin, we take time to connect with nature, to settle, and listen. No prior experience is needed — only a willingness to explore. What unfolds is the discovery of your own rhythm, your own touch. And in that space, you may find more than just a form taking shape in stone — you may find yourself. This approach to designing and carving such an artwork was developed by the Slovenian artist Marko Pogačnik, UNESCO Artist for Peace.
