Life as Teacher
March 12-14, 2027
Kloster Freiheit
Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
The body as pathway
Life has been speaking to you all along.
Through moments of joy and ease. Through uncertainty, relationships, beginnings and endings. Through the death of a dream, and the quiet invitations we often overlook in our rush to understand or move on.
The question is not whether life is guiding us. The question is whether we have slowed down enough to listen. When we meet life with curiosity rather than resistance, every experience becomes part of the path home to ourselves.
Through embodied practices, movement, reflection and embodied writing, we begin to listen differently.
As we discover the wisdom already present in the body, life itself becomes the answer we have been seeking.
This is not an invitation to learn something new. It is an invitation to recognize something that has been true all along. To discover that the wisdom you have been searching for has quietly been living in your body and in your life, waiting to be noticed.
Together we explore what it means to recognize life as our teacher through the body, the courage to stay present and the willingness to meet what is here.
The body is where life becomes wisdom.
Join us for three days where the body becomes our pathway, and life our teacher.
About the workshop:
Life as Teacher is rooted in The Embodied Permission Method™ - an embodied approach to self-leadership and living that invites us to meet life through the wisdom of the body.
Drawing from Soul Motion®, somatic practice, nervous system awareness, contemplative practices, embodied writing and somatic communication, we cultivate the capacity to pause, listen and respond from presence rather than habit.
There is no curriculum to complete and no version of yourself to become. Instead, we cultivate the capacity to meet life as it is - listening deeply to the body, trusting what is ready, and allowing life itself to become our teacher.
This is not about becoming someone new.
It is about remembering who you have always been.
Who is this for?
No prior dance, movement or writing experience is needed. Whether you are new to this work or have years of experience, this retreat welcomes you exactly as you are. All you need is an open mind, your curiosity and a willingness to learn.
Bring your body and you will be extra prepared.
Held in the warmth of community, we will spend three days nestled at Kloster Freiheit - a place of quiet beauty with its cozy Buddha-Lounge, private path to the Baltic Sea, and evenings gathered around the fire.
At the heart of Kloster Freiheit is the Dojo, offering space in every sense of the word. Space to move. Space to pause. Space to hear what life has been quietly speaking all along.
Throughout our time together, we will be nourished with delicious home-cooked vegetarian meals, lovingly prepared and served buffet style.
Good to knows
A safe and compassionate container is held with clarity as we move through both the comfort of what is familiar and the edges of what is new. Together we listen to the wisdom of the body, allowing movement to become a language for what is ready to be expressed.
The workshop will be offered in English, German and the universal language of the body.
If something in these words feels familiar, perhaps life has already begun the conversation. We'd love to welcome you.

About Embodied Permission
Embodied Permission™ is a somatic approach to living, loving and leading.
Rooted in the wisdom of the body, it invites us to slow down enough to hear what life is already asking of us. Through movement, nervous system awareness, embodied inquiry and compassionate presence, we cultivate the capacity to meet ourselves—and life—with curiosity rather than judgement.
Rather than teaching us who to become, Embodied Permission™ helps us remember who we have always been.
In a space where nothing is expected and everything is welcome, we discover that the only permission we have been waiting for is our own.
“Being around her is being in the presence of clear and fierce life force."
“Camilla truly is a living breathing embodiment of permission, to be yourself, fully alive with what is moving you. Being around her is being in the presence of clear and fierce life force, ready to embrace and move with whatever this moment brings."
- Ida Helmers,
Somatic Relating
"Embodied Permission gives me the permission to be me."
"That is freeing, liberating and scary at times because it means for me to leave old patterns behind and daring to truly become myself. Not the version adapting to what I assume the expectations of others are. I enter a delicate and intriguing space of now."
- Anne Stilling,
Psychologist & Movement Teacher
"First time meeting Camilla it was like coming home."
"I felt truly seen and experienced a permission to be all of me, even the parts I’d rather hide. Being on a floor with Camilla is fun, sensuous, expanding and also challenging in the best of ways."
- Magdalena Perers,
Embodiment Teacher
"It is coming home to myself, my body, the bigger "we", to being human."
"Being and moving together keeps widening my heart, it melts me into tears to fumble and stumble with words and emotions with less shame."
- Lisa Moser,
Soul Motion Teacher
"Camilla changes people’s lives simply by stepping into their field."
"I've seen it again and again. As soon as she enters the room everything changes."
- Pete Longworth,
Creator of Content That Matters
"I don't have to think about what is allowed or not, there is just a permission."
"I have a permission to slow down. I get to practice here then to go into the world with more confidence not needing validation.
To have someone here is such a fruitful ground for practicing."
- Anna-Riikka Kärnä,
Coach
"I allowed myself to be the size I am without trying to be smaller or less visible."
"Nothing is required and you get just as much out of it as what you put into it.
I found a new joy in movement and dance and my honest emotional expression."
- Marko,
Business Manager
"I am coming out of hiding and coming home. "
"With Camilla's guidance, practices and the community she created in Embodied Permission Training is a thrilling journey that I am still on, and truly as she puts it, a journey of a lifetime!
