NOT A RETREAT
You don't visit.
You live here.
This is a residency, not a retreat and not a programme. We hold the container: a cultural practice and a daily and weekly rhythm. Within it, you lead your own exploration.
Part held by us. Part handed over to you and the group.
Neos
Residency
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Two weeks to live what you believe in.
1. Your body.
A body you keep optimising, through Dr. Mats's programme running throughout.
2. Daily practice.
Silent movement, meditation and the New Earth Ways.
3. Daily circle.
Keep the inquiry alive: how am I being the new human?
4. Purpose through service.
Put your hands into a living New Earth project.
5. A stage for your gifts.
Offer a workshop or session to the community.
6. Space for yourself.
Daily space to explore who you are becoming.
7. Self-leadership in action.
Taking initiative instead of waiting to be led.
Rooted in the New Earth Ways, the Four Elements practices and the Three Dimensions at the heart of New Human, New Earth.
A WEEK AT NEOS
The weekly rhythm
A guideline, not a timetable.
Space for emergence is part of the design.
Opening | A passage into residency
Mornings | 30 minutes of silent movement, 30 minutes of meditation on the New Earth Ways, stewarded in turn by the group
Daytime | Open time for rest, personal inquiry, the land, and sessions offered by the group or team
Afternoon or evening | A sharing circle, sometimes joined by the Neos team
Start and end of each week | A guided session to reflect and set your practice for the week ahead
Throughout | Dr. Mats's programme
You're a resident, not a guest.

You cook your own meals in the shared kitchen.
