Breathwork & Chakra Retreat
7th - 13th of November in Portugal
With Mela Mariposa & Miguel Anumano
We invite you to come on a deep journey with us.
From the earth to the sky, from below to above, from the root to the crown.
Together we explore the chakra system, starting with our roots, connecting to the earth and our foundation, rising up through our creativity and sensuality, exploring our inner fire, discovering our true inner warrior, into the center of our heart, where we learn to give and receive and be compassionate with our inner child, up into the field of expression and communication and then connecting to our visions, peace and silence.
This program is specially designed for you to move through the chakras, where you can let yourself be guided into and held in a safe space, where you can become loose, explore and expand into a beautiful space of connection. The connection to yourself.
On this weekend retreat you will be guided into different powerful practices such as:
- Drumming,
- Body painting ritual
- Water blessing
- Fire ritual
- Cacao Ceremony
- Mandala breathwork
- Voice activation, Expression
- Blindfolded Dance
- Silence, Nature and a lot of space to be and connect with each other
Healing, transforming, sharing, celebrating and remembering the flow of love and connection within yourself, the community and mother earth - this is what we wish for all of us during our time together.
Breathwork:
The more conscious you breathe the more connected and aware you become.
Breathwork uses a simple technique, called “conscious connected breath”, a profound technique that deeply supports the clearing away of old energies, conditioning, negative thoughts/patterns and emotions.
It helps us to open up the doors for new possibilities and a greater consciousness. If done properly it is a “gateway” to your inside world, to truly see who you are with all layers of a human being, emotionally, physically and energetically. And yet the outcome is always a surprise, as we are all individuals caring different stories and backgrounds. The main result is pure presence & awareness, which eventually leads us into a fuller acceptance of what is.
Important to know:
This retreat is not suitable for you in case of pregancy, or if you suffer of any severe heart disease, psychosis or epilepsy. Please get in touch if you are in any doubt about your health situation.

Miguel Anumano.
I came into this world with a genuine open heart and the gifts of joy, freedom and flow. Passionately looking for depth and the unity between all things. Very early I understood the power of music, and became a devoted explorer of that power.
I started playing with rhythm instruments as a young boy, and ever since I have been in a permanent experiential research on world sounds, drumming, and all types of instruments,the spiritual aspects of music, the human voice, tribalism, deep listening, presence, authenticity, intuitive expression, the state of trance, ecstasy and connection to nature.
With a natural tendency for creating high energy states, throughout the last decade I have been playing music in gatherings, retreats, conscious movement practices, ecstatic dance and plant medicine rituals. I have been guiding drum circles, rhythm classes, and voice activations.
Out of all this, it became very clear that (probably) the most powerful and healing experience that I know, is when we get together around the fire, drumming, singing, dancing and praying. I am here to hold space for that.
