Start 2025 with a Nervous System Reset with OYNS
2024. It’s been a year of ups and downs, twists and turns for many, and with the end-of-year hurtling towards us at a dazzling pace, there is a solution in sight for you to catch your breath as 2025 begins!
In January 2025, the internationally renowned OYNS (Optimize Your Nervous System) team is heading our way from Europe, to share their lighthearted and transformational workshops as well as intensive immersive retreats in Johannesburg and Cape Town for the first time!
Start 2025 with a nervous system reset by joining the knowledgeable, experienced, compassionate and playful facilitators Torunn Avelsgaard Lien and Robbin van der Crussen from Norway 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).
It’ll be 4 days of no phones or outside distractions, with 4 sessions each day, activities that swing between high activation and deep relaxation, relational games and practices that reveal how deeply a safe nervous system allows us to connect to each other, high quality lectures on the nervous system, silent hours in the mornings and evenings, live music and light-heartedness.
Instill in yourself a thorough understanding, the practical skill and a deeply-felt inspiration for how to use your breath and body awareness to meet life’s inevitable challenges, as wonderful opportunities to wake up to more of your natural capacity to heal, love, laugh, lead, connect and create.
With small groups of just 18 per retreat and an individual call before and after the retreat with Robbin and Torunn, your personal transformational process will be facilitated in a safe and grounded way.
What is OYNS?
(Optimize Your Nervous System) offers retreats and workshops providing a complete nervous system reset that revives the inherent joy of simply being alive.
The retreat is held by radical, intuitive medical doctor Torunn Lien and world-renowned music wizard and breathworker Robbin van der Crussen.
Since they met six years ago, they have shared a common fascination for self-explorative and self-transcending work, inspired by ancient traditions of healing and modern scientific methods for creating health and well being.
Working closely together, they mirror and support each other as they unravel ever deeper understandings of what a human life can be and how to make the most out of it. They have dedicated their lives to share their experiences and knowledge with others, with the intention of aiding the evolution of human consciousness.
Join the duo in the serene countryside within easy proximity of the cities of Johannesburg and Cape Town, to gently smash your heart wide open and reconnect with yourself. Get out of the City, and take a breath of fresh air in the beautiful retreat venues.
Why South Africa?
Robbin van der Crussen explains excitedly;
“We are very excited to bring OYNS for the first time to the African continent, the very Mother Continent – the oldest inhabited continent on Earth. As our work is based on feeling our bodies as a path towards experiencing the pure essence of who we are, , we are curious to keep exploring what it means to be human, and how we can turn the current human crisis into a beautiful and hopeful opportunity for humanity to transcend out-dated ways of being, inspired by the land we all came from originally.”
Torunn Lien adds;
“People from all over the world come to our retreats in Norway – now we feel the calling to bring our work to other parts of the world. We always seek out beautiful places in nature for our events. The stunning nature of South Africa makes this a perfect choice for our retreats.”
