An intensive Radical Honesty Summer Retreat in Finland surrounded by pine forests and lakeside cabins!

Transform Your Life by Telling the Truth in Finland, 24-28 June

During our 11th(!) annual Honesty Europe Summer Retreat in Finland, we’ll spend five days and four nights together in Finnish lakeside retreat center, surrounded by a lush pine forest beside a lake. The retreat will include daily workshop sessions as well as free time for mushroom and berry picking, swimming, jacuzzi, boating and nightly saunas in our wood-burning sauna.

Our goals will be to live out loud, to be happy and to not give a shit! Create connections and to stay present to our experience and bodily sensations.

This workshop is for you if:

  • you want to experience more freedom in your life
  • you want to let go of shame, fear and attachment to approval
  • you are looking for using conflict creatively and want to go beyond blame
  • you desire to learn the art of asking for what you want
  • want to heal your relationships and find forgiveness
  • you yearn deeper love, connection & intimacy

The workshop is not for you if you:

  • don’t want to tell the truth
  • want to stay in your comfort zone at all times
  • don’t want to hear participants expressing themselves loudly at times
  • participate to change others in your life rather than yourself

Honesty Europe work is direct communication that leads to intimacy. It is the difference between making a performance and laughing and playing with friends. Honesty is kind of scary fun that turns out better than you thought it would. Lying is work and a pain in the ass and makes you lonesome as hell.

We claim that lying is the major source of all human stress. It wears us out and eventually kills us. When people engage honestly, energy that was wasted maintaining a performance to make an impression is suddenly available for real creativity in playing together. When we admit our pretenses we can refresh our relationships and powerfully create new ways of living together.

What we do
On each day, we’ll do some yoga, meditation and workshop sessions. The sessions will include an introduction to the work; learning through theory, discussions, sharing and exercises on how to be radically honest. We’ll do group and paired exercises as well as hot seat work.

Leisure time
We will also have free time for connecting, relaxing, swimming, walking in the forest, berry and mushroom picking, rowing a boat, hammock lounging, fishing and appreciating nature in the Finnish summer.

Language
The training will be conducted in English. Finnish speakers will have the opportunity to do paired exercises together in Finnish.

Schedule
The retreat will begin on Wednesday 24 June at 17:00 and will conclude on Sunday 28 June by 12:30.
