Self-love: Meditation and Yoga retreat
9-11 September 2022, Ladánybene
During the three days of this meditation and yoga retreat at the pristine farm of Napmajor, among trees and next to the pool, we will guide our attention to what is really here, and investigate how we can become kinder to ourselves. Through mindful movement, vinyasa yoga, deep relaxation and guided meditation sessions, we’ll peel layers off ourselves — perhaps starting to let go of old ways of thinking.
At the center of your being, you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want. (…) Search your heart and see the way to do is to be.
– Lao-Tzu
The small group allows for an intimate experience to ask ourselves questions and perhaps arrive at sensations, a sense of knowing, that has been there all the way. A retreat offers the gift for careful inquiry, and Eszter and Niki will be happy to support you on this journey.
Are you ready to start exploring and growing your self-compassion?
(…) the sharing circle was absolutely amazing. It felt so liberating to finally be vulnerable and let out a lot of pent up emotions. I don’t think I’ve ever been so honest with a group of strangers essentially.
– former particpant Nura
While observing the main hygiene rules to keep ourselves safe, we will offer you a safe space to explore and play with the help of mindful movement, aquacontact, sauna sessions, sharing circle and simply being in nature.

What is aquacontact?
It is like a moving meditation and subtle massage practiced in water. Anyone can participate in it; you will be guided by a certified facilitator (Niki, Napmajor’s owner) who takes you on a journey of floating, dance and stillness in a pool. As the water surrounds the body, you may feel embraced, supported and weightless.
I think the aqua contact was fantastic. It’s hard to put into words but it was such a unique experience of mindfulness. Niki was a trusting guide throughout this process.
