CO-CREATIVE RETREAT

For deep collaboration

Jana Breitmar, host of the co-creative retreat

When several people meet in their truthful radiance, co-creation happens.

With this retreat I would like to make exactly that kind of truthful encounter possible, one in which we connect through our unique strengths.

What makes it special to me is that every retreat is unique, because a different combination of people with different strengths comes together every time.

What you can experience in this week

Deep collaboration with true purpose: We work together on projects that truly matter to us.

We build a puzzle from all our light: From all our gifts, essences and abilities, a very specific combination of skills emerges that makes us unique as a group. Together we discover what gifts each of us has brought and let something new arise from it. In doing so, you get to take exactly the place in your personal zone of genius that makes you special.

A safe space with healing relationship work: You bring your light and your shadow. Everything is allowed to be here, everything is allowed to show itself. We grow together with everything that shows up.

The event is open-ended: By the end, new ideas, projects, companies, friendships or healing experiences may have emerged. We simply follow what unfolds.

Weekly Schedule

The event is not driven by a rigid program. We follow a shared thematic orientation held in our awareness by a morning and evening sharing circle. Everything else unfolds in the group's flow.

Day 1 "Exploring the call" +

We dive deep to explore our wishes, needs and life visions. We discover what calls us and what we want to dedicate ourselves to in this world. The aim is to truly understand each person in the group and their motivations.

Day 2 "Exploring the light" +

In today's deep dive, we explore all our light, our gifts, abilities and the highest essences of our being. We find out what light each of us has brought to this event.

Day 3 "Putting the puzzle together" +

We look for common ground in our visions and differences in our light to see how we can complement each other, aligned with one (or several) shared goals we define for this week.

Day 4 "Resolving group dynamics and hurdles" +

By now we've gotten to know each other better, and there may have been moments where our flow wasn't quite aligned. We look at those situations and find ways to resolve hurdles and (subtle) relationship dynamics so the flow can return.

Day 5 "Becoming a swarm" +

We bring our developed ideas and goals into reality. We allow ourselves to become a kind of collective organism in which each cell acts from their own zone of genius. We trust inner impulses and the group's emerging swarm intelligence.

Day 6 "In the flow" +

This day stays open to respond flexibly to the needs of our group. Perhaps we need more flow days to refine a creative project. Or maybe sub-groups have formed and it's time to present the projects to each other and weave them back into a larger whole.

Day 7 "Closing and reflection" +

Whatever is needed to bring our projects to a good close, or to plan a continuation in the future, can happen today. We reflect together on what we felt, learned and experienced. We speak about how our co-creation went and what we would do differently next time.

How we come together

The aim of coming together is to meet each other truthfully. That is why we allow ourselves the courage to show up as we really are, and to genuinely want to recognise and understand the visions of others. We assume that every person has something important to contribute, and we develop integral solutions that take all of our perspectives into account.

But we meet each other not only in our light, we also meet in our shadows. The basis for that is a benevolent inner attitude. We create a space holding so much unconditional acceptance that we can show ourselves with all our facets, including the “negative” ones. We allow ourselves to be feeling beings with personal challenges. If group dynamics come up, we try to see through them and resolve them, so we can return to the co-creative flow.

We eat together as a group, but you are always free to skip a meal, for example if you'd prefer to sleep in a bit longer.
Prerequisite: This retreat is exclusively for people who have already been working with me personally for a longer while and who know the concepts from my PDF article “Soulful Connection”.
