Approach of this online program

  • Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether

    Throughout this online journey, you’ll be invited into a sacred space of meaningful conversation and shared presence, where each of the five elements becomes a doorway to deeper connection—with yourself, others, and the world around you.

    As we move through the elements together in a guided sharing circle, you’ll explore how Earth grounds you, how Water moves your emotions, how Fire ignites your truth, how Air clears your thoughts, and how Ether holds space for your spirit to expand. In each session, deep listening and heartfelt sharing become the tools for transformation supported by mindful, slow and intentional practices.

    By witnessing and being witnessed in a sharing circle, you’ll experience what it means to be truly heard and held.

    This journey opens pathways to inner peace, emotional resilience, and a renewed sense of belonging. You’ll begin to align with the natural rhythms within and around you, allowing healing, insight, and connection to unfold organically. Element by element, word by word.

  • Wisdom and traditions

    What makes Finns the happiest people on Earth for the eighth time in a row? One key element is the concept of sisu. Sisu is the inner strength, determination and endurance that Finns put to light to get through challenging times with a smile on their face.

    This concept can be seen as a muscle that needs to be trained. So that is exactly what this program is made for. To get comfortable with the uncomfortable. To learn to love the process and not the goal.

    But Finnish culture also emphasizes slowing down and living intentionally. Connecting to nature and the natural cycles, being patient and trusting life’s timing. Finns find happiness in the present moment, free from any physical or mental clutter.

  • Yoga, Breathwork, Sound, and what inspires

    Rika will share her favorite practices in a way that she has found for herself to be supportive in her path to find true connection.

    These practices include yoga asana (mainly Hatha and Yin), meditation, conscious breathing practices, working with sound that being instruments like Tibetan singing bowls, Koshi, Sansula, but also her very own voice, intuitive movement and other mindful activities like journaling.

    KIM

  • “The Connect program offers everyone who is searching in their life a lot of space for meaningful exchange, wonderfully thought-out and implemented methods and perspectives for reflection and dealing with themselves and their environment. It is a wonderfully structured program that Rika teaches with a great deal of empathy, joy, sensitivity and attention to detail. She gives the participants the space to share their experiences and thus creates a fine, small online space that is characterized by understanding togetherness and the opportunity to discover new things for themselves and their own practice.“

Rika hat eine tolle Verbindung zwischen Natur, finnischer Kultur und Yogapraktiken geschaffen und damit zum Entspannen und Loslassen in einer ruhigen Atmosphäre eingeladen und mich immer wieder zum reflektieren angeregt."
