One week volunteering to bring rest, care & support to women with cancer 

Germany (Chiemgauer Alpen)  •  2024

with a non-profit Association in a adventure camp to support families with cancer

Through my dear friend @juliagcare, I was invited by the non-profit Adventure Care Association @adventurecare to spend one week supporting women with cancer and their families, helping them take a true break from daily challenges and reconnect with themselves.

It felt deeply fulfilling to volunteer for a week and offer care to those who truly needed it.

As a YIN-Yoga teacher focused on gentleness & relaxation, I guided self-massage practices, led Ayurvedic Walking Massage sessions (both individual and couple workshops), shared Ayurvedic lifestyle insights, yoga and energetic treatments to calm the nervous system.

I enjoyed giving foot massages to the kitchen team who lovingly cooked fresh meals for us every day - a small way to give back to those who cared for everyone else.

Each morning began with a refreshing swim in the cold lake followed by yoga in nature. Gentle hikes, dancing, bodypainting, women circles with vulnerable heart shadings, workshops, foto shooting, mindful nature experiences and endless sunshine enriched our week together in co-creation.

It was really a truly heart-opening experience I’ll never forget. It was a pleasure for me to support @juliagcare & @birgitfuelscher1 in their wonderful work for this women. To see every new single smile in their faces was worth it.

Thank you @adventurecare for this rich experience.
