Treat yourself to the best Christmas/Year-End gift – a Nervous System Re-set with OYNS
It’s incomprehensible to think that we’re just a few weeks away from a brand new year. So it’s time for us all to de-stress and refresh after a crazy 2024, and there’s no better way to do that, than with OYNS.
In just one month’s time, the internationally renowned OYNS (Optimize Your Nervous System) team will be heading our way from Norway, to share their light-hearted and transformational workshops as well as intensive immersive retreats in Johannesburg and Cape Town for the first time!
Join the knowledgeable, experienced, compassionate and playful facilitators Torunn Avelsgaard Lien and Robbin van der Crussen at one of their immersive retreats, taking place from 13 – 17 January at Melody Hill (1 hour from Johannesburg) and 23 – 27 January at Fynbos Estate (1 hour from Cape Town).
Torunn Avelsgaard Lien explains the ongoing need for these retreats, especially at this time of the year;
“Modern society is absolutely brilliant in so many ways that we easily forget a basic listening to the signals from our bodies; the signals from nature; the signals from life itself as it moves through us. Subtle signals that remind us of our true potential to heal, lead and create the lives we are here to live. A powerful gift to the planet and our communities is actually to take a timeout and go deep within, and remember what it’s like for our hearts to breathe and feel fully and freely, allowing our nervous systems to recalibrate and give ourselves and our relationships a fresh start.”
This Nervous System Reset is a gentle yet powerful retreat where your body is your greatest teacher. What’s it really like to be you?
Strengthen your ability to feel at the level of bodily sensation and intimately befriend your nervous system in its constant pendulation; ‘safe, unsafe, safe, unsafe, safe, unsafe…’
Learn how to effectively increase awareness, enjoyment and even pleasure in the presence of any feeling.
Train your system to handle more intensity and use life’s challenges as opportunities to wake up and heal by going deeper into the felt sense of your body.
Experience how a safe nervous system unleashes the authenticity, joy, clarity and connection that your soul is hungry for!
Become fully autonomous in a practical, effective and integrative breathwork meditation practice that brings bodily intelligence to a whole new level of daily life.
