YOU ARE THE MEDICINE
Winter Somatic & Yoga Retreat
29 January – 1 February 2026 · Dvůr Svatá Maří, Czech Republic
A Circle of Rest, Renewal & Inner Wisdom
In the quiet embrace of winter, when nature invites us to turn inward, we gather in community to remember what our bodies already know: the medicine is within us.
This retreat is an invitation to pause, soften, and listen deeply.
Through somatic explorations, yin & restorative yoga, guided meditation, and a cacao ceremony, you will have the space to reconnect with your inner wisdom, release what no longer serves you, and open to clarity and insight.
Together, in a safe and nourishing space, we explore what it means to be held—by the circle, by the earth, by our own breath.
The Environment
Our home for these days will be Dvůr Svatá Maří, a lovingly restored farmhouse in the South Bohemian countryside. Surrounded by forests and fields, the place itself radiates quiet healing energy—simple, intentional, and grounding.
Here you can walk in nature, warm yourself in the sauna, rest by the fire, or simply be. The cozy accommodation and nourishing vegetarian meals will support your body, while the tranquil setting opens the heart to deeper presence.
The Guidance
This retreat is guided by Šárka Soudková and Iara Lamat.
We have known each other for over ten years. Though our paths came from different directions, the are unfolding in resembling ways and they have always been guided by the same values: a reverence for gentle and slow yoga, trauma-sensitive somatic practices, and the living wisdom of the body.
We honor the intelligence and nourishing ability of Mother Nature, and we draw inspiration from the cycles of the seasons—both in the outer world and in our human lives.
With gratitude, we come together to co-create this retreat and to hold space for you in the heartful environment of Dvůr Svatá Maří.
