Love Boldly
A 3-day Retreat
16-18 MAY, BELGIUM
An invitation from Lesanne & Jacob
3-day retreat in Château Cortils
Blegny, Belgium
Friday 16 May 2025 - 15:00
Sunday 18 May 2025 - 15:00
Step into the serene embrace of the lush Ardennes at Château Cortils for Home is Heart—a experiential retreat with Lesanne & Jacob. As the Fire and Air energies of this season bring change and movement, we invite you to explore how you can open up to transformative love.
We’re talking about the kind of love that is needed to be a changemaker, a beacon of peace, and someone who feels profoundly at home in yourself. The love from the songs and the movies is a romantic reduction of a powerful force that is behind the creation of the entire universe.
It’s time for bold love, we need it, our communities need it, the world needs it. Not because we need to be heroes and save other people, but because our wellbeing, joy, and health depends on it. Coming home to the heart space is a journey we all have to take one day or another.
This is a sacred space to rekindle Trust, open our hearts, and embrace the courage it takes to belong—belonging to ourselves, to one another, and to the Earth. Through sound, resonance, archetypal mapping, and embodied practices, we will anchor into clarity, resilience, and meaning amidst these transitional times.
Come remember the truth your heart already knows: that Home is not a place, but a state of being. This is a call to courage—to heal ourselves deeply, and love boldly. Together, we’ll create a generative space to embody the joy of the unknown and strengthen the bones of purpose and presence.
Jacob is an international Somatic Vocal Healing educator and musician who brings vibrational transformation through the healing power of sound.
Lesanne is a transformative facilitator with decades of experience bringing people into a space of integrity and resonance with their authentic being.
Together, we create a potent container for a playful yet deep experience, which fosters profound connection. Supported by nature, the sounds of the piano, and our vast experience in retreat facilitation, you may expect to transform your relationship with love itself.
