Retreat Monferrato · Montiglio Monferrato, Italy
1–4 April 2027
Thursday 4:00 pm to Sunday 2:00 pm
Trance is an ancestral practice that enables us to reconnect with our inner self, supporting grounding, renewal and spiritual openness. During this retreat, therapists will explore trance in different forms, discover new tools for their psychotherapeutic practice and open new inner spaces through which to encounter themselves differently.
