How can we integrate a spiritual response to the ecological, social and political crises we are facing? At this time of great uncertainty in the world - in which we are seeing the impacts of climate emergency and war - we need to find the strength to put compassion into action.
We welcome you to join us on this 6-day learning journey on the land of a Tibetan Buddhist retreat centre, just 30-minute south of Charleroi in Belgium, to explore what compassion means in relationship to yourself, to others and to the natural world.
The retreat will draw on practices from The Work that Reconnects (Joanna Macy) & Kincentric leadership, alongside ancient wisdom traditions like Tibetan Buddhism and 'Ubuntu' principle in Zulu tradition, integrating science, systems thinking and nature connection practices. However you do not need to have any previous experience, beliefs or practices to come. All are welcome; wed love for you to join us!
We feel honoured to have Sicelo Mbatha, a spiritual nature guide from South-Africa, with us again as a guest facilitator, together with Lama Rinchen and Gregory of the permaculture garden

Are you curious to reconnect with the wild within to rediscover a deep sense of our belonging?
Are you inspired to embrace the interconnectedness of life and explore how to lead and act with this awareness?
Set amongst the Celtic Forest of Broceliande with its diverse ecosystem - including a Breton horse-herd, ancient trees, woodland creatures, and the land itself - join us for a transformative journey... With Sicelo Mbatha & Annick Nevejan & Saint-Jean's team and thirty horses in Brittany, France
'Every encounter with wild creatures has brought symbolic messages to me; has brought me teachings that I could never find in a textbook. It has been my life's path to rekindle the wildness in all of us; to bring people into the presence of wildness, and help open their souls to its beauty, wisdom, and infinite power to heal.' Sicelo Mbatha
During this retreat, we will explore how to align with the 'story of interbeing'; feeling our kinship with all life by learning to build and co-create spaces for renewal, reciprocity, healing, and reverence - specifically with the more than human world. For this we have the opportunity to engage with a large horse-herd, born and bred at this event's unique location: Saint Jean and the surrounding Celtic Forest of Broceliande in Brittany, France.
