Love and immersion – a study group for couples

Three Thursday evenings in spring 2025

Planning and facilitation: Hanne Linde and Morten Winkler

In recent years, participants at our retreat 'Love and Immersion' for couples at Øster Løkke have wanted support for continued inspiration and love practice when they return home after the retreat. In a room with others who have also received this teaching.

Kontemplation will therefore create an online study group in the spring of 2025 consisting of three evenings in the digital space on Zoom.

Here we, Hanne and Morten, who have participated as hosts at all five couples retreats held, will offer an opportunity to maintain practice, the liveliness and vulnerability of the love relationship - and to exchange experiences and challenges with other couples.

The evenings will have the following structure:

A joint meditation and a sequence of presence yoga, body scanning, dance or other physically grounded exercises.

Presentation of the evening's theme and a little writing practice.

Breakout rooms with two couples in each, with space for normal human contact and to share what currently feels meaningful – perhaps inspired by the evening's theme or writing exercise.

Exchange in the common room.

Review of exercises or presentation of a guide from Kontemplation's practice library. Hanneli and Peter narrate a guide we will work with, especially for this study group.

Joint closing meditation.
