Earth & Magic Retreat
Replenish your Energy through Somatic Yoga and aligning to your unique Human Design
25-27 October 2024
Groningen, The Netherlands
Human Design is a powerful system that blends the principles of the Chinese I Ching, Astrology, the Kabbalah, the Hindu-Brahmin Chakra system and Quantum Physics to give you a manual to your unique personal energy and purpose in this lifetime.
In Human Design we can see areas where we might be blocked or living out of alignment, causing stress and unhappiness in our bodies and minds. Whether you are familiar with your Human Design Chart or have never even heard of this system before, this approach helps you to understand yourself in a deeper and empowering way.
Through yoga, somatic practice, and nervous system healing we will work to decondition the areas of the ‘Not’ Self in the Splenic, Sacral and Solar Plexus Centers by going inwards, slowing down and releasing stress, worry and fear.
We will work specifically on our blocks around people pleasing, overworking and fear of the future.
Nourish your body with delicious meals and carefully crafted classes that will help calm your mind, relax your body and tune into the magic of your unique energy.

‘The retreat was a beautiful experience and valuable investment of time and energy.
Alicia created a special space for the group where I felt seen, supported and safe. The programme was diverse and just right, mixing fun and lighter moments with plenty of rest and introspective moments where we dug deeper. I can't wait for the next one!
– Elenna
‘For my first yoga retreat, I am definitely not disappointed. It was a memorable experience: a mix of meditation, legends & story telling, rituals, coaching and of course yoga.
All of these in a nice, green and quiet surroundings. Alicia is extremely good in what she does, brings an amazing energy to the group, and on top of it makes it fun and crazy at the same time (as an example we did yoga on Michael Jackson for Halloween). I really hope I can join another of her retreats in the future!’
— Marjory

The retreat was at a beautiful location surrounded by nature and perfect for a healing journey. Alicia has a very unique and beautiful skill of picking up energies around her and creating a safe space for all to explore and travel within. There were options for all levels, lessons were thoughtful and challenging in just the right places. The flow of the retreat felt effortless. I especially loved picking up a card before each lesson to help with my intentions, they seemed to magically resonate each time.’
