Practice Untamed Retreat
May 22nd - 25th, 2026 • Bahnitz, Brandenburg
This retreat is about rest as reclamation and movement as exploration.
No curated moments, no aesthetic stillness, no perfectly glowing girls in meditation for the grid. Just time with those who are done with that old version of wellness. On our mats, off our mats, together unmasked.
Ideal for women of the global majority, teachers, serious practitioners, who are ready to practice untamed.
This is not your average retreat.
It’s a space to move, reflect, rest, learn and unlearn as someone who is actively part of the 'wellness' world.
Asana as a tool, rest as your teacher, cultural wisdoms as your compass.
