Crazy ~Ditch the Shame~ Weekend

A weekend in nature, lots of yoga, exercises to get back into our body, sharings, comfort zone stretchers and shame killers.

We are Dieke and Klaas. We are both walking the Long Distance Trail towards self-acceptance. Every now and then we encounter each other while walking. During this weekend we would like to explore part of this trail together with you.

For so many people -if not all- one of the main powers that stands between them and self acceptance, is shame. Shame doesn’t seem to be a natural condition. Babies express themselves freely, follow their imagination freely, try and fail freely etc. until adults (parents, society, school, religion etc.) teach them otherwise.
We want to get rid of the shame. We want to feel that original freedom again. This weekend is intended to be a helpful tool for that.

The Facilitators

Dieke is an experienced yoga teacher. She received her Yoga teacher trainings in Europe and Asia. Dieke about herself: “My vision is freedom; freedom of my mind, freedom of judgement, freedom to make your own choices, freedom to walk your own path and most of all freedom to be totally yourself.”

Klaas is the CrazyCamp.org guy. The facilitator that makes all these magical Crazy Camps happen – together with all participants. “A unique place where you can play as a child and grow as a person at the same time” is what someone said about Klaas’ events. His slogan used to be “everybody is beautiful!” – now it evolved into “Everybody is!” and he finds it beautiful that everybody is :)

Activities

Yoga sessions in order to ‘land’ in our body and to calibrate the connexion between mind and body. Dieke is an experienced yoga teacher with a very clear style and she takes good care of people with different Yoga experience levels.

Also games and exercises to enquire our comfort levels and to learn to recognise the ‘yes’ and ‘no’ that our body communicates – not our conditioned mind. Playfulness is an important aspect of this weekend, uncovering our inner child. And we will shine light on our inner darkness and confront our shadows that often suppress the inner child. This will be through sharings, exercises and practise of trauma release techniques.

Most of the yoga will be practiced with clothes on, however during one of the sessions we will explore practicing yoga with as little clothing as possible. If you feel too naked when naked, a tank top and shorts will work as well. Same goes for some of the other exercises.

There will also be the unique Slow Sauna experience with a dip in open water afterwards!

Safe Space

It is our ambition to create this weekend as a safe space for all participants and with the help of all participants (there will be max. 10 people in our group, including Dieke and Klaas). It should be a safe place to try out new things – and an equally safe place to not participate in something if you feel too uncomfortable with it. No judgement!

Accommodation

We will stay in a beautiful former farm, surrounded by water and forest, in rooms that we share with each other; there are single beds and double beds that we will distribute randomly. Bathrooms are well equipped.
