Have you ever felt overwhelmed by your emotions? In the fast-paced, high-pressure rhythm of daily life, even the smallest trigger can release built-up emotional tension, like a bowstring pulled too tight.
In reality, when we pause to face our emotions—not suppressing or ignoring them, but simply acknowledge them—we create space to step out of reactive patterns and move toward clearer, more intentional choices.
This one-day retreat is a journey from reacting to responding. Through guided meditation and breathwork, you’ll create space within to quiet the mind. You’ll learn how to recognize when emotions are leading you, explore ways to shift them, and practice tools to consciously navigate future moments of conflict, stress, or uncertainty with greater clarity and choice.
This isn’t just an emotional awareness practice—it’s a set of tools you can bring into daily life. It helps you build steady energy over time, coexist with your emotions, and nurture a gentler, clearer relationship with yourself.
What To Expect
Wear your most comfortable clothes and bring environmentally friendly tableware.
Put down your phones and communicate with the world attentively.
Stay weird and stay unique.
Guided meditation and breathwork: Rob
Rob will gently guide you through the noise of your thoughts with meditation and emotional awareness practices. Together, you’ll reconnect with your inner rhythm from resistance and openness to chaos and calm. This session helps you to turn emotions into steady support in your everyday life.
In this retreat, Rob weaves together mindful yoga, group awareness, and step-by-step practices to help uncover the beliefs and patterns behind your emotions. It’s not just about understanding—it’s about practicing new ways of responding in real-life interactions, creating more space for conscious choices within.
“Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.”
Rob has been a certified movement teacher for twenty years and uses yoga, Pilates, strength training, functional movement patterns and Feldenkrais to help people become more symmetrical and balanced while being more mobile. He also helps people discover how to be more in touch with their unconscious and their bodies through in-depth feeling and sensitivity training.

Space
In this retreat, Soul Barn will collaborate with Fusen Banzhi Trio, located in Wulai.
In a quiet corner of the forest, there is a small mountain community shrouded in rain mist. It once had a very poetic name: "Raindrops."
Embraced by the lush greenery and accompanied by the various natural sounds of the forest, travelers come to feel the healing power of living in harmony with nature.
Through the forest trails, we will take you to a secret place that seems to be isolated from the noisy outside world. Relax and enjoy our own time alone, and let our heart rest in tranquility.

Retreat Includes
Breathwork and Guided Meditation
Through breathwork, we return to the present moment. With gentle awareness practices and guided meditation, we gradually quiet the mind, reconnect with the body, and create a steady, nurturing inner space—laying the groundwork for deeper exploration.Emotion Observation
Emotions aren’t right or wrong—they’re simply inner messages waiting to be understood. With guided support, learn to recognize emotional signals, observe without judgment, and deepen your awareness of personal patterns and responses.Foundation of Emotional Levels
We all experience emotional highs and lows, but behind these waves lies a subtle, often overlooked rhythm. In this session, you’ll explore a layered framework to better understand how emotions function—and how to stop being swept away by them.The Structural Codes for Energy Transformation
Once we understand what our emotions are telling us, the next step is learning how to shift them. This session offers a clear blueprint for energy transformation—guiding you from chaos to clarity, from depletion to nourishment. You’ll trace old reaction patterns back to their roots, then reshape them into new responses that support your growth.Energy Transformation Practice
Finally, we’ll move into hands-on practice—where you’ll experience how to gently loosen fixed reaction patterns and create space within. This is where awareness becomes embodied, turning insight into a grounded strength you can carry into everyday life.Sharing Circle
