Reconnecting with nature can feel like returning home after a long journey.
Have you ever felt that quiet inner call to come back to your purest self in body and mind? To feel strong, energized, connected, and at the same time both vast and small? To live more fully, free from conditioning, blockages, and expectations, with the self-healing capacity nature intended? When that call becomes clear, it opens the door back to yourself.
AVANI invites you to this transformative retreat for a healing journey rooted in nature and ancient traditions. Over three days, you step away from clocks, phones, cameras, work, partner, and children, and live in the rhythm of the natural world. The program combines plant medicines (legal truffles), the sweat lodge, shamanic energy work, sound healing, and connected breathwork. Together, these practices can support inner wisdom, deepen healing, strengthen psychological well-being, and inspire meaningful change.
PROGRAM
01 INTENTION: THE COMPASS OF YOUR JOURNEY
Everything we do has a reason, even when that reason is hidden beneath the surface. Here, you are invited to make your intention conscious and explore what lies behind it. An intention is a desire released from attachment to outcome. It offers direction and helps you remain open to whatever arises. With the right intention, you may receive exactly what you need, even if it appears differently than expected.
02 A WARM MEETING IN THE SWEAT LODGE: THE FIRE
This ancient ritual is designed to cleanse body and mind of what is no longer needed. It can help you remember who you truly are and honestly meet what lives within you. In this space, all feelings are welcome: anger, sadness, frustration, fear, pleasure, and loss. By facing what has been avoided, you can burn away what no longer serves you and let go.
03 TRUFFLE CEREMONY FOR A NEW PERSPECTIVE
We turn inward, toward silence. When you become still, your connection to yourself can deepen and inner wisdom can awaken. From there, you may begin to view yourself, your life, and your situation from a fresh perspective. In this step, you work with legal truffles and enter an inner journey with this plant medicine, used for physical and spiritual healing in ceremonies across the world since ancient times.
04 ENERGY HEALING
During the ceremony, four energy healers support the process in a shamanic way, guided by something larger that indicates where hands may be placed. This work is intended to connect you with your core and soul, refining energy so you can live from unconditional love and trust.
05 SOUND HEALING
You are taken on a unique sound journey with live sound healing, electronic soundscapes, sound effects, and solfeggio frequencies. This powerful blend, supported by the plant medicine, carries you through wonder into the deep waters of your soul.
06 BREATH POWER AND LET GO
You will be guided through circular, connected breathing, followed by deep rest and recovery. This process can move through the physical body into the mental, emotional, energetic, and spiritual layers. It may clear blockages, reveal answers, and reach deep into the nervous, immune, and cardiovascular systems, helping reset these primal systems.
07 SOUND HEALING
During the truffle journey, intuitive live music by Dymphi Peeters may guide you inward, featuring special flutes, African harp, voice, drum, sansula, shrutibox, and more.
08 DANCE
Movement and dance are deeply natural to us. Free movement to music, without steps to follow, can bring you out of your head and into trance, ecstasy, and a sense of unity.
A SAFE BED FOR YOUR INNER JOURNEY
AVANI offers an open and safe space to reconnect with your own nature and discover new perspectives. In a world that changes quickly, it can be difficult to truly know yourself, let alone live from that truth. If you long for direction, clarity, and the courage to release the old and create a deeper, broader vision, this retreat offers that opportunity.
Over this weekend, you may find more energy, focus, and a stronger sense of your place in life. Nature can reveal what is happening within you, what hurts, what can be released, who you are, and what you truly want.
