We often practice soul work combined with body work, a great combo. For example walking in nature, while facing one’s illusions.
One person came to terms with the fact that she felt entitled to a much better life than she had – she wanted more. More money, more time, better friends, nicer husband…
🤔Dismantling the myth of entitlement became her practice. She took it into her life back home, and began observing when this “myth” was animated in her psyche – that is, when she became envious of what others had, bored, or angry, with in particular her husband whom she found didn’t express emotions. Se felt entitled to “change him”.
She unraveled one myth and realization about herself after another. This is an unpleasant and very tough work and a soul detox from the toxicity of our culture, but she bravely stuck to her commitment because she did not want to suffer from this inner demon any longer.
📝She had a pocket notebook and wrote down the myths of entitlement as soon as she felt the feelings of irritation, sadness, jealousy…
She learnt to catch herself faster and faster, people around her noticing her feelings of jealousy less and less.
☺️When she had a moment she meditated on them, observed their origin and questioned her entitlement. She asked questions like:
– when and who told me I should have more…
– when and who told me he should be different.
Often we see that it’s just an illusion, a myth told by our culture, something we want from seeing movies and publicity. Our “wants” unconsciously become “I deserve”, and we lose capability to see what we really want and if we are prepared to go for it, if the effort to get it is really worth it.
To find the root of the entitlement and to dissolve it is humbling and when we feel humble we often feel grateful and that, I believe, is an important ingredient in happiness.

O•live Retreat demystifies health and in the process it stands clear that health is far from drugs or injections made from petrochemicals.
First we make sure you know yourself, your body and what being healthy means to you, really means. Then we continue to a good cleanse on all levels, Body·Mind·Soul.
With over 15 years in this business and as Conde Nast Travel and some others put it "top-ranked" health retreat, we base our work on the O• method, derived from a multitude of methods, both old as Ayurveda and new as Orthomolecular Medicine. You'll get healthier in all areas of life (as we don't think one can leave health at home while going to work and we can't say we are healthy if we destroy our bodies over the weekend either). One is either healthy or not, within oneself and in ones habits. What that means can only be defined by each and one and if that is to indulge in the unhealthy stuff it's because it's really worth it for the only judge - you.
We offer events such as retreats, workshops, or online courses and we believe in education as the fundamentals of healing is that it's done by oneself. Others can support but it's only oneself that can heal oneself.
The key training for professionals is focused on enhanced productivity through self-inspiration and self-care. As a high equity manager in the finance sector put it - it's all about staying highly inspired. We couldn't agree more and we know how that biochemistry looks like.
Independent studies find that 96% of our guests become more healthy and stay healthy after 6 months, 82% stay healthy after a year. This is a better rate than any other retreat, treatment or training, as far as we know. Our teachings are based on modern science, and ancient evidence based techniques, and a lot of personal experience with trial and error, in the field of being a healthy human in the 21st century.
