Key elements of this 5–week online program

  • Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether

    Throughout this online journey, you’ll connect with each of the elements, for a balanced and immersive experience that transforms your perspective both holistically and profoundly.

    As you work with the elements, you’ll deepen your understanding of yourself, cultivate inner peace, and learn to use the natural energies around you to enhance your well-being and resilience. This journey will help you align more closely with the different elements within your body and around you, bringing forth emotional healing and growth.

  • 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 is like a muscle that needs to be trained. So that is exactly what this program is made for. To get comfortable with the uncomfortable.

    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 more

    Rika will provide her favorite practices in a way that she has found for herself to be supportive in her path to become the happiest version of herself yet.

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

    All practices invite you to take something with you into every day life, because Rika believes a practice is just movement, if you don’t integrate it.

This awaits you inside the Group Experience:

This 5-week journey is designed for a small group of up to 8 people who feel ready to deeply explore their well-being. It’s a container for meaningful connection, where you’ll share your experiences and personal growth with an intimate group, all while receiving support and insights from others on a similar path.

    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."
