Ohana Summer Retreat
Ohana means ‘family’ and has a special significance in Hawaiian culture. It means family not in the purely nuclear sense, but the entire social setting, material and environmental backdrop with which the Hawaiians consider us humans to be related.
Family also means that no one is forgotten or left behind.
The Ohana gives protection and gives you the freedom to discover and develop yourself and your own potential.
OHANA CREATES COMMUNITY
Over 6 days in summer the big Lomi Ohana (Hawaiian for "family") comes together!
This summer week is the heart of our Lomi training.
In addition, we open our doors and invite all Lomi practitioners (also from other Lomi schools) who feel deeply connected to the Lomi massage.
Lomians of different levels of training from all over the world meet at a powerful natural location with a bathing lake. In the concentrated yet informal atmosphere, everyone can learn from each other, practise together and exchange experiences.
During a meal together, on a walk in the woods, while dancing or in the evening around the campfire, there is the opportunity for personal exchange and integration of what you have experienced. Of course, you can also sit by the lake with a book or meditate in silence.
LOMI OHANA SUMMER RETREAT
Week A) August 2 - 7, 2025
Week B) August 9 - 14, 2025
The theme of this year's Lomi retreat is CONNECTION..
Let's share, nourish and strengthen together and connect with the power of nature. Bathing together, laughing, but also being allowed to cry, diving deep - maybe you will discover yourself all over again.
In this little paradise, located about 1 hour from Berlin, we will again be lovingly accommodated and fed with good vegetarian organic food.
You are in the right place, if you are at least in module 2 of our training, practising for a long time or if you have gathered similar experiences in other Lomi schools.
Look forward to a daily individual Lomi offer (your participation is optional). Our beautiful large seminar room will be transformed into a playground: Inspirations of different massage styles & bodywork are welcome - feel free to bring your own experience and wishes. We will weave them together and complement them with LOMI.
Mutual support and inspiration are important to us.
A colorful selection of topics awaits you in the Lomi massage (giving + receiving).
Besonders widmen wir uns dem Schwerpunkt BODY READING.
What does it mean to understand body language as a path, to perceive the messages of the body? We listen with our senses, see with our hearts and read with our hands. We refine our intuition and perception in order to feel the “right moment”: Using movement and stillness, choosing the right tempo or playing with intensity and gentleness. We use the elements of earth, water, fire and air.
We explore the influence of “breath, movement and voice” and practice non-verbal body communication.
Really “feeling seen” in a Lomi massage can trigger deep inner peace in the person receiving it. And - perhaps - give them the opportunity to find a new, loving approach to themselves.
