Programma
What is Metta Beyond?
Metta Beyond is more than a project—it’s a philosophy and a journey designed to guide individuals toward self-discovery, balance, and authentic connection. It reflects a lifelong mission to uncover neglected aspects of the self and to create space for growth and healing.
At its core, Metta Beyond is about stepping into the unknown—the places beyond our comfort zone—because it is there that the greatest transformations occur. This journey invites you to explore the depths of your being while being supported in a safe and nurturing environment.
What makes this retreat unique?
It is not just a retreat; it’s a journey that integrates freediving, psychotherapy, and yoga. This experience requires courage, patience, and a willingness to confront what lies beneath the surface. It offers a holistic approach, merging physical exploration with profound emotional and psychological healing. Freediving teaches you to embrace stillness, courage, and resilience, reflecting life’s challenges in a safe underwater environment.
The small group size, limited to 12 participants, ensures that each participant receives personal attention, fostering a sense of safety and connection as you explore your depths—both literally and figuratively.
The Essence of Freediving and Self-Discovery
Freediving is much more than just holding your breath underwater; it’s a therapeutic tool for exploring emotions, overcoming fear, and connecting deeply with yourself. Under the guidance of our certified instructor, you’ll feel fully supported and secure, thanks to the safety measures of Metta Beyond and PADI. This journey is open to everyone—no prerequisites or prior experience needed. All necessary gear is provided, allowing you to focus entirely on this transformative experience.
A Harmonious Fusion of Practices
This unique program is Tihana’s brainchild, born from her 20 vibrant, courageous, and sometimes adventurous years of travel and study at some of the world’s top spiritual and holistic centers. The retreat combines:
- Freediving: Build courage, trust, and resilience as you embrace the stillness of the sea.
- Psychotherapy: Work through emotional blocks and gain self-awareness with expert guidance.
- Breathwork: Harness the power of your breath to calm your mind and nervous system.
- Yoga: Achieve balance, flexibility, and mindfulness through daily practices.
- SUP Yoga: Enjoy a playful yet meditative practice on the water, enhancing body awareness and focus.
Each element supports the others, creating a comprehensive journey toward mental clarity, emotional release, and physical vitality.
Takeaways from the retreat
- Self-Awareness: Gain a deeper understanding of yourself through introspection and mindful practices.
- Resilience: Develop the courage to face challenges, both in the water and in life.
- Emotional Release: Let go of past emotional blocks through psychotherapy and breathwork.
- Connection with Nature: Experience profound calm and connection through the sea’s healing energy.
- Balance: Learn tools for long-term physical and emotional well-being through yoga and breath control.
