This weekend features:

  • Energetic Flow Training: Under Birita’s expert guidance, you’ll experience energetic movement, yin exercises, and gentle heart-centered training—all of which support your vital energy, openness, and inner centering.

  • Specialized Instruction: Henrik explains and guides you through centering exercises with a focus on chakra psychology, where you’ll learn centering exercises for each chakra.

  • Meditations and Rest: Short guided meditations will be part of the program, and you’ll also have time for silence and reflection.

  • The opportunity to receive specific guidance.

  • Nutritious Food: Treat yourself to delicious, nutritious food all weekend long.

In this course, you’ll have the opportunity to learn and experience something essential that can bring you greater balance, deeper insight, experience, and understanding of inner centering and outer openness—which, in so many ways, can bring you joy, meaning, and a sense of celebration in your life. This winter weekend, we’ll light some candles and warm up.

You’ll gain energy and learn to return to a new way of being and find peace within yourself without having to shut yourself off or limit yourself.

You will cultivate greater openness without losing sight of who you are. And together with a partner or a group, you will engage in supportive and insightful exercises that, in different ways, will help you find both center and openness in your life.

On the day of your arrival, you’ll gently and softly settle into the nourishing tantric yin space together with Birita. We’ll do energetic flow practice with lovely music in the beautiful room, nourishing yin exercises on the mat, gentle heart-centered practice, and centering exercises.

On Saturday morning, we’ll enjoy a delicious, nourishing breakfast, and then the day will begin with energetic movement—we’ll awaken our energy and our heart-body, and learn through simple yet effective exercises how to awaken and nurture our life energy. The session includes short guided meditations. However, prior meditation experience is not required to participate.

Henrik will lead specialized instruction and training in centering based on chakra psychology and the whole person. We will do various centering exercises for each center.

In the evening, there will be gentle, nourishing evening activities.

Both Birita and Henrik give you the opportunity to ask specific questions and receive specific guidance.

You'll also have time for rest, quiet, and reflection.

THE TEACHERS

Birita Nolsø

Birita Nolsø has more than three decades of experience as a course leader and instructor, supplemented by an intensive tantra program she completed with her husband and tantra partner, Henrik Krag.

For the past 12 years, Birita has been deeply committed to a journey toward deeper relationships, tantric experiences, and inner understanding through the body, heart training, and meditative practice. Her focus has been particularly on yin immersion, tantric meditative heart training, and immersion in the wisdom of nature. Together with her husband, she lives at the Vækstcenteret in Nørre Snede, where they actively participate in meditative training and draw inspiration from Jes Bertelsen.

Together with Henrik, Birita has explored tantra, relationships, and matters of the heart. Their passion for exploring the mysteries of love has led, among other things, to the development of HeartWake, a powerful self-development tool, and the publication of the book “5 HEART FEELINGS,” which guides readers toward a deeper understanding of the heart’s emotions and paths of growth.

Many describe Biritas’s teachings as a vibrant journey into the depths of the personality and an invitation to connect with the heart and the inner wisdom and power that lie hidden within all of us.

Henrik Krag

For over 40 years, Henrik Krag has facilitated as a course leader and guide in meditation, self-development and couples therapy. Henrik is a trained philosopher and was involved from the beginning of Vækstcenteret in 1982, alongside Vækstcenteret's leader and founder Jes Bertelsen. Vækstcenteret is considered by many to be one of the most significant environments for teaching self-development and meditation in Denmark.

With a background as a philosopher and author, Henrik shares teachings and insights in an accessible and practical way. His books, including "Selvudvikling for det hele menneske" (Self-development for the Whole Person), "overLev i parforhold" (Survive in Relationships), and "5 HJERTEFØLELSER" (5 HEART FEELINGS), which he co-wrote with his partner Birita Nolsø, have helped guide those who wish to explore the depths of their own mind and heart.

Together with Birita Nolsø, he continues to explore tantra, relationships, and the emotions of the heart. Their passion for the mysteries of love has led to the development of HeartWake, a powerful self-development tool, and together they have published the book *5 EMOTIONS OF THE HEART*, which guides readers toward a deeper understanding of the wisdom of the heart.

As an experienced senior practitioner in tantra, relationships, and meditation, Henrik combines theory with practice, rooted in existence and loving relationships. His work with empathy-based leadership has made him an advisor to organisations and businesses seeking to create more meaningful work environments.

Together

Birita and Henrik also offer lectures, courses, workshops, executive coaching, and couples therapy.
Starting in January 2025, Henrik and Birita will also begin an annual training program that draws on their combined 50 years of experience in personal development, energy, tantra, and emotional connection.
