Easter Nature Day Retreat

A 1 day getting away into nature and the heart

This is an invitation to join us for a day in nature, to slow down, to breathe and feel, to leave the daily habits for a moment, as we tend to be fast, to run, to pretend, to put on masks and sometimes we even forget how we feel cause of so many duties.

To STOP and BREATHE creates space, space for yourself, for your inner essence to come out, to be, to play, to express and to feel more alive. We invite you for this conscious gathering in the nature, a coming together, to give thanks to the earth, to be with the nature and listen and play with the aspects of nature.

We will merge the elements of breath, nature, sound and music. The breath as our life energy tool in everything we do, we put emphasis on becoming more aware of each inhale and exhale throughout this whole day.

For bringing more aliveness and diving deeper into the power of the breath, we will hold a breathwork & sound medicine ceremony. To use your own breath in this powerful way, is a great method to release and transform old pattern and beliefs. (more details about breathwork below)

In the afternoon we silently move into the nature, being together walking in silence and listening to the sounds of nature. From the silence the sounds appear, the rhythm can be perceived, like the rhythm of our heartbeat or our feet walking on the earth, the breath going in and out. You will move into the sound, discovering natural rhythms and your voice. An organic improvisation with the group, the sounds and nature, based on listening and the natural flow of energy that manifests in the collective movement.

Easter time, nowadays mainly a feast of chocolate bunnies and consumption, it is also a time of nourishment and fertility. With the sacred plant of cacao, we open the ceremonial space in the evening for expansion, dance and celebration. Through the power of the drums, our voices and the natural sounds that come from within, we connect deeper to our primal roots. With all these different elements we spontaneously access our most natural state of joy and ecstasy.

We are blessed to offer this mini- retreat in a great place just about 45min from Lisbon.
