Breathe in…

Step away from the busyness of everyday life and join us for a restorative autumn weekend designed to nourish your body, calm your mind, and reconnect you with your inner rhythm.

This Creative Pause retreat invites you to slow down, soften into the body, and explore the cyclical nature of being a woman. Through mindfulness, yoga, art therapy, intuitive and body-based work, meaningful conversations, time in nature, a mindful hike to Ralsko, a Saturday evening bonfire and nourishing vegetarian food, we will create space for rest, reflection, creativity and connection.

Together, we’ll move, pause, breathe, create, walk, share, listen and simply be. All activities are completely voluntary, so you can choose your own pace and take from the weekend what you need most.

All instruction will be in intermediate level English. So if English isn’t your native language, don’t worry. You will understand us and each other perfectly.

Take a look at the kind of atmosphere you can expect at the Creative Pause weekend.

💫 Full Workshop Descriptions

If you are curious about the particular sessions and workshops below is a more detailed description of what to expect:

19:00 | Welcoming Circle – Arrive, Connect, Land

On Friday evening, we will begin our weekend together with a welcoming circle led by Asia. This will be a gentle space to arrive, slow down and ground ourselves after the journey.

Through simple body-based practices, nervous system regulation exercises and mindful sharing, we will begin to connect with ourselves, our bodies and the women in the circle. Together, we will slowly enter the space we will be creating throughout the weekend. A space of presence, trust, curiosity and connection.

09:00–13:00 | Mindful Hike to Ralsko: Walking Through Our Inner Season with Asia (Saturday)

On Saturday, we will set out from Ráj pod Ralskem for a mindful hike to Ralsko, creating space to slow down, breathe, and connect with the natural world around us.

As we walk through the landscape, we will explore the connection between nature’s cycles and our own inner rhythm. Through short mindful practices, gentle body awareness, reflection prompts and shared conversations, you will be invited to notice what season you are in, what your body is asking for, and how nature can mirror the changes, transitions and wisdom within you.

This hike will be an invitation to walk with presence, listen deeply, and let the forest, the path and the changing landscape guide us into a deeper connection with ourselves and each other.

15:00–18:00 | Her Seasons Within: A Workshop on the Cyclical Wisdom of Womanhood with Asia, Jen and Stefka (Saturday)

After lunch in a 2 part workshop, we will explore the cyclical nature of being a woman, both through the rhythm of the monthly cycle and through the wider seasons of our lives.

Together with Asia, Stefania and Jen, we will gently look at different feminine energies and life phases, from freshness and creative expansion to rest, release and deep inner wisdom. Through body-based practices, intuitive exploration, reflection and sharing, you will be invited to connect with your own rhythm and notice how your energy, needs, creativity and sense of self may shift over time.

This workshop is not about fitting into one idea of femininity. It is an invitation to listen to your body, honor your experience and reconnect with the wisdom already present within you.

A reflective, embodied space to remember that we are not meant to be the same every day. We move in seasons. We change, create, release, rest and return to ourselves again.

after 20h | Evening Bonfire – Stories, Drumming, Connection (Saturday)

As the day settles, we gather around the fire for an evening of drumming, gentle rhythm and ritual, storytelling, and shared presence.
If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll move into the sauna for a different kind of soothing atmosphere.

08:00–09:00 | Yoga with Eva – Ground & Awaken (Sunday)

We’ll begin the day with a gentle yoga stretch led by certified yoga teacher Eva Kurovcová. This morning session will help you connect with your body, ground yourself, and ease into the flow of the day with calm and presence. No previous experience needed—just come as you are and enjoy a mindful start.

10:00–13:00 | Portrait of the Inner Goddess: An Art Therapy Journey with Stefania (Sunday)

In this Sunday morning art therapy session, guided by Stefania, we will enter a creative process of meeting an inner feminine figure. She may appear as an inner goddess, guide, companion, wise woman, wild woman, protector, child, creatrix, or someone entirely unexpected.

Through watercolor, collage, intuitive drawing and writing, we will allow images, faces, shapes and symbols to emerge without forcing them into a specific role or archetype. Instead of deciding in advance who we are creating, we will listen to what wants to appear.

This process invites us into a deep, almost dreamlike journey into our personal and collective world of feminine archetypes, symbols and inner voices. At the end, there will be space for reflection, journaling or sharing in the circle. We may also write a short story, myth or message from the figure we have created.

A gentle but powerful creative encounter with the part of ourselves that may need to be seen, strengthened, understood or welcomed at this moment in life.

14:00 | Closing Circle – Reflect & Carry It Forward (Sunday)

Before we part ways, we’ll gather one last time to reflect on the weekend—what we’ve experienced, discovered, and shared. The closing circle is a space to gently land, express gratitude, and carry the insights from our time together into daily life. We’ll wrap up with a nourishing vegetarian lunch to send you off with a full heart (and belly).
