What emerges when we slow down enough to notice what is already here? What happens when we stay in the present moment, watching and waiting for what wants to happen, rather than reaching for what we think should happen?

Developed by Ron Kurtz, Hakomi is an experiential, body-centered approach to self-discovery and healing. Grounded in modern neuroscience and inspired by many wisdom traditions, it rests on five principles: mindfulness, non-violence, organicity, unity, and the integration of body and mind. At its heart is a simple understanding: that healing is the natural state of the organic world, and that our task is to create the container and context in which it can unfold.

Over five days in Euskadi, in the green hills of Lasierra, we will gather in a small group to explore our relationship to ourselves, to one another and to the world. Through gentle experiments in mindfulness, we will turn our attention inward and notice how the body holds the beliefs and patterns that quietly shape our lives. Meeting this with curiosity rather than judgment, at our own pace, we make room for something new.

Along the way, something else begins to grow: loving presence, a warm and steady way of being with ourselves and others that emerges naturally when we feel safe and connected. More than a technique, Hakomi is a way of living, thinking and feeling. This retreat is an invitation into that spirit: to feel connected, to be met with kindness, and to know the depth of healing that becomes possible when we put our hearts in the right place.
