Through Advent with feeling & self-compassion

The Advent season can be beautiful - and emotionally challenging at the same time. Between expectations, deadlines and the pressure to "function", we quickly lose touch with ourselves.

This special invites you to consciously shape the pre-Christmas season with compassion and self-compassion :

In this 90-minute practice, we combine gentle mindful movement, heart-opening breathwork and meditations on compassion and self-compassion.

Together we will create a space in which you can reconnect with kindness and gentleness towards yourself - far away from perfectionism, inner strictness or end-of-year stress.
The focus of the special is on calming your nervous system, releasing inner harshness and treating yourself with kindness.

What awaits you in this Advent special:

✨ Mindfulness exercises on the topic of compassion & self-compassion
You will learn how to soften your inner contact. The focus is on presence, warmth and a clear connection to yourself.
✨ Gentle, mindful movement sequences
Movements that ground you, relax you and open your heart both physically and emotionally. You come out of your head and back into your body.
✨ Breathwork that supports the heart
Gentle breathing techniques that regulate your nervous system, release tension and give you the feeling of having more space inside yourself again.

❤️‍🩹 Why compassion? Why now?

Compassion - especially self-compassion - is a powerful tool that reduces stress, releases inner hardship and helps you to remain stable in challenging times.
And especially during the Advent season, it can be beneficial to reflect: away from consumption, away from the hustle, away from constant expectations.

This special puts the focus back on where Christmas really lies: Connectedness. Warmth. Togetherness. Compassion for others - and also for yourself.

Who is this special for?

❤️‍🩹 For you, if you are looking for an inner island of peace.
❤️‍🩹 For you if this time of year causes you more stress than contemplation.
❤️‍🩹 For you if you want to consciously shape Advent - instead of just surviving it.
❤️‍🩹 For you if you want to become kinder and gentler towards yourself.

For all levels - you don't need any meditation experience.
