Levende ("Alive") - Winter retreat

20. February - 23. February, 2025

Prem Lee and Vimal

Levende ("Alive"): step out of your thoughts and into the joy of simply being!

Through active meditations, breathwork, and other tools, you will receive support to step out of your thoughts and connect more deeply with your emotions, releasing what holds them back. Together, we will explore how to meet ourselves with honesty and acceptance.

No prior experience is needed to join—just an open mind and a desire to get to know yourself better. Along the way, you will be guided and supported by experienced facilitators!


What you can gain:

  • Connect with your emotions
  • Get to know yourself better and gain valuable insights about your life
  • Release blocked energy and rediscover your zest for life
  • Discover a more authentic and nourishing way to relate to others
  • Find the freedom to be yourself, just as you are
  • Experience deep relaxation and release tension
  • Reconnect with a natural inner peace

“I have no words for how grateful I am. I feel I have been set free”.

Are you ready to feel more alive?

Many of us learn early in life to suppress our emotions to protect ourselves from feeling pain and uncertainty. Instead, we retreat into our thoughts to avoid feeling. But avoiding emotions can disconnect us from what makes us alive, present, and authentic. Embracing vulnerability with openness can unlock deep joy and satisfaction in life.

"Very rich in content, wonderful and liberating to be able to show emotions and express oneself fully in the dynamic and active meditations. As always you create a very good and safe space at Dharma Mountain. Nice frames. I am very grateful and satisfied with the weekend.”

Active meditations

Active meditation is form of meditation developed by the Indian mystic Osho in the 1970s. Osho recognized that it was difficult for modern people to sit still in meditation. Restlessness, unease, and tension in the body make it challenging to find peace and stillness. 
In active meditation, there are several phases, with the initial phases being physically active. These phases are designed to help us reconnect with the body, release tension, and "relieve the pressure," making it easier to find peace and stillness.
Each participant performs the meditation individually, with their eyes closed and without interacting with others in the group. 

The most well-known active meditations are Dynamic Meditation and Kundalini Meditation.

Dynamic meditation is a fast, intense and thorough way to break old, ingrained patterns in the body and the mind. These patterns can keep us imprisoned in the past and hinder us from experiencing the natural joy of living. In this meditation we have the opportunity to release emotions and give ourselves a physical and mental release in a safe environment.

The meditation lasts for an hour and consists of five phases. The first three phases are physically active, involving intense chaotic breathing, free emotional expression and movement, while the last two phases are silent observation and celebratory dance.

Kundalini Meditation is normally done in the afternoon. It is a highly effective way to release tensions and thoughts, allowing energy to flow freely. It lasts for an hour and consists of four phases. In the first phase, we stand and let the body shake—starting from the feet and moving up and out through the entire body. In the second phase, we allow the movement to continue freely, and in the last two phases, we gradually move into deeper silence.

Osho says about the shaking in Kundalini meditation:
«Being fully immersed in the shaking and dancing of the first two stages helps to “melt” the rocklike being, wherever the energy-flow has been repressed and blocked. Then that energy can flow, dance and be transformed into bliss and joy. The last two stages enable all this energy to flow vertically, to move upward into silence. It is a highly effective way of unwinding and letting go at the end of the day.«
