During the first globeseekers Top of the Mountain Retreat this summer, globeseekers was represented by lovely participants from 10 countries: Holland, Brazil, England/Wales, Cypress, Turkey, Czech Republic, Ireland, Malta, Brazil/Living In Spain, Austria & Germany! So many different backgrounds – so much alike! Again we are amazed by how quick we connect and how honest everyone shared their challenges, dreams and thoughts in the Health Coaching circles or around the bonfire.

We enjoyed different hikes in the area and also went to another valley for a hike to reach higher mountains and see the alpine environment and glacier lake. It was nice to share knowledge from the hiking guide training during the hike, such as identifying flowers or herbs and what they can be used for, for example we saw and collected the Alpine Lady’s Mantle = “Alchemilla alpina”, which can be used to reduce pain associated with menstruation, but also is considered a good remedy for wounds, cuts, and scrapes, speeding up the healing process and numbing the pain. The leaves and flowering stems are best harvested as the plant comes into flower and can then be dried for later use.

Before or after the Outdoor activities like hiking or climbing we practiced or tried out different courses like Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, Yin Yoga connected to Chinese Medicine, Acro Yoga, Thai Yoga Massage, Yoga Philosophy, Health Coaching, Mindfulness and Embodiment Practice.

Thanks Matthias Schiestl for the climbing course during our globeseekers Top of the Mountain Retreat this week! Very inspiring to have someone, who is training for the Climbing World Cup give us an introduction and many were surprised to overcome some hesitation or fears.

Patricia our Brazilian group member was trying the raft during a morning hike and the weather was good enough later to cool of the feet in another lake after hiking.

We had one rainy day, so we used it for the Introduction into Acro Yoga after Morning Embodiment Practice, a long breakfast and before enjoying the Sauna & Health Coaching later! Partner Workout and Acro Yoga is a great way to practice balance, train the core muscles, flexibility and learn to trust another person.

We just received our new globeseekers charity collection handmade with love in Bali, i chose the fabrics & cuts with Wayan in Ubud during my last training a few weeks ago. It was great to see that everyone loved it and they looked amazing wearing it! We will choose a project to support within our globeseekers Community and look forward to giving back and helping!

We very much look forward to staying in touch with everyone – i will invite everyone into our closed globeseekers community now for exchanging interesting links, material, videos, book recommendations, recipes and for connecting with like minded people from around the globe.

We hope you like the memories of this Top of the Mountain Retreat, as our first one this summer! ♡  Now we are preparing our next Outdoor & Yoga Retreats in Austria and are in the planning for our Ocean Retreats in Sri Lanka and a remote island in Indonesia and the Snow Retreats in Austria happening in winter/spring. The globeseekers Top of the Mountain Retreat will for sure happen again next year.

See you next time – ANYWHERE BUT IN BETWEEN – globeseekers
