dear soul,

Take time for yourself and your longing to feel and be in connection. This experiential workshop offers you a safe and brave space to practice the Art of Relating – deepening the connection to yourself, your ability of relating to others and nature. Together we explore the aliveness of being human among humans on the Earth.

We invite you on a weekend journey into the Art of Relating in the beautiful Seminar Centre of Schloss Glarisegg, nestled between lush forests and the lake Bodensee.

The
relational experience you never received but always longed for.

What is the
Art of Relating?

Our approach is based on the acknowledgement that to be able to connect with others, I need to arrive and be present with myself first. 

Through guided meditation, dance and movement explorations, and nervous-system regulation practices we connect to our innermost self – our aliveness as well as parts that feel numb or distant. Welcoming all that I am – inside myself first – I become available for true connection. 

Being in touch with my needs, boundaries, and longings I choose how I open myself to relate. And so we ask. 

Who do I
Become, if I
welcome all
of myself?

What possibilities emerge when I meet myself through you?

Coming together in presence, we experience the subtle layers of relating. 

Together we practice to connect and express ourselves – in silence, with words, in movement. 

Exploring the various facets of interpersonal connection we invite curiosity and playfulness, explore depths and tenderness and the magic of showing ourselves and being seen. We welcome ourselves and each other in the unique experiences we make when we dare to open up to raw contact.

How do I walk my path, when I feel the Earth hosting me in each moment?

Being alive in this time, many of us have lost our intimate connection to the Earth and feel separate. By spending time outside, consciously reconnecting to the living beings all around us, we restore an ancient understanding of interdependence and gratitude for the gift of life. We practice to open up to become aware of our intimate connections with the ecosystems and flow of life, present in each moment. 

We believe that truly being at home means being at home on the Earth.

What can I let go of knowing that life is breathing me, since the moment I was born, without me having to do anything for it?

Co-Regulation Practices and Nervous System Understanding

This space is for you if you want to..

  • Deepen the connection with your inner most self
  • Connect to your aliveness as well as breathing into parts of you that feel numb or distant
  • Explore how to authentically connect with others, creating a safe and brave space of interbeing
  • Tune in and express your needs and wishes openly.
  • Discover your belonging to the larger whole by connecting to the natural surroundings

In this community, we cultivate trust, solidarity, and mutual support.

Together, we move from feeling like isolated individuals to standing side by side in the truth of the collective and ancestral history we carry. Our deep cultural wounding has taught us to fear love and belonging—the very life forces that created us and are the essence of our joy.

Many of us hold a fear of not being worthy of love, a mistrust of others, and ultimately, a fear of intimacy itself. We’ve been conditioned to turn away from what makes us most human. 

But we cannot heal and rewire in isolation.

We heal in connection—through honest, grounded presence. By letting go of the superficial habits of social interaction and entering into a space of authentic relational presence, we discover a new way of being together – a more attuned, alive, and present being. Breath by breath. Movement by movement. Touch by touch.

This is not a return to the past—
this is your future.

I am impressed by Annabelle’s presence, sensitivity and ability to lovingly hold processes. With a unique talent she skilfully unravels entanglements and a space for authenticity opens up. 

 

 
 

- Cornelia Fey, Traumatherapist

Working with Teodora was a deeply transformative experience where I felt truly seen and valued in my places of pain and insecurity. Thank you for the loving aftercare so that I didn’t feel alienated or “too much” after opening up. I feel so grateful!

This workshop is intended for people who wish to deepen the connection to themselves and others. We will frequently change the constellations for exercises to explore a diversity of connections and ourselves in it. You are welcome to participate with a friend or partner if you wish to share this experience, but there is no explicit focus on deepening one individual relationship. While sexual intimacy is a wonderful element of the Art of Relating, this workshop focuses on non-sexual connection.
