Sink Into Transformation
2nd to 7th of April 2026
Rites, Latvia
What might we hear when we stop speaking?
When we truly listen to silence?
Sit.
Sit here.
Listen
to the silence,
to the sound of your own heartbeat.
Hear the whispers
of your soul,
of the forest behind you.
Smell the wind.
Smell the fire you ignited.
Keep feeding it,
keep tending it,
hold it alive
so it can hold you
alive.
Touch the sap
rising beneath the tree bark,
fresh as blood.
Lick your fingers.
Drink the nectar from flower stems.
And sit.
Sink
into this very moment --
which could,
with all humility,
become
the moment
of transformation.
This poem is almost all you need to know about SIT — Soul Infused Training, happening in Rites, Latvia this spring as a follow-up training for LEC alumni.
SIT is a gentle invitation to move beyond the frantic pace of modern life and reconnect with deep listening, meaningful pauses, and finding new ways to exist in the world.
Your pure existence is powerful!
During LEC you took the first step into the unknown, into the darkness of night, high in treetops.
SIT will meet you right there and help you to land after the jump.
No matter how long it is since you’ve jumped.
SIT is the next step.
Are you ready to take it?
Although SIT continues the journey of LEC and may feel familiar in many ways, it is also its opposite. It will be less about doing and more about being. Being with nature, with one another, and mostly — with yourself. Something we rarely allow ourselves today. To slow down — especially in these turbulent times. To sit in our own presence and hear what whispers underneath the noise. To just be.
And yet — this is not a retreat.
It is a deep dive.
If you allow it.
If you choose it.
Will you?

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
What’s ahead of you if you say yes to this calling is - similarly to LEC - intensive 5 days spent together in Rites and nearby forest. There might still be harnesses, ropes and some challenges involved but used in a fairly different way this time. You will be presented with zero models or theories. We will go straight to the core instead. How?
