ATTUNING TO THE WISDOM WITHINEmbodiment I Self-Exploration I Nature
April, 24 – 29, Rogil, Portugal
this is more than just a retreat
In the rush and noise of modern life, many of us have lost touch with the wisdom of our own bodies. We have forgotten how to be with ourselves, how to understand the language of our psyche, how to pause and truly listen. We have stopped asking questions and stepped away from the journey of curious and patient self-exploration and self-study. We’ve drifted from the wonders of nature, the awe of life itself, and our sense of interconnectedness.
AND TRUST ME, I GET IT.
It takes a lot to question the status quo, to pause, to be with ourselves, to leave the comfort of the known and the promises of the outside world.
Yet, from my own experience it is an inside “job” to truly experience what most of us are deep down longing for:
An honest, embracing, and attuned connection with our body and psyche.
The capacity and resilience to face life in its ever-changing fullness.
A deep sense of belonging and love.
The freedom to express ourselves authentically and creatively.
The courage to embrace our quirks and welcome the parts of ourselves we once thought unworthy.
This retreat isn’t about quick fixes, nor is it a magic pill. It is an initiation—an invitation to reclaim your self-responsibility and reconnect with the wisdom within you! It may be a beginning or perhaps a continuation of your journey—a sacred space to pause, to get in touch with what’s been bubbling under the surface and to reassemble all parts of you into wholeness.
Facilitated breath repatterning (fbr)
How we breathe is how we live
FBR is a very unique and powerful combination of Conscious Connected Breathing and Bodywork and is based on the newest understandings of neuroscience, breathing mechanics and the effects of conditioning, past experiences and trauma on the human body.
This practice allows us to tap into our subconsciousness and go beyond the limitations of our mind and reconnect with the deeper wisdom within to:
– restore our breathing mechanics
– regulate our nervous system
– release emotions and reflexes
– process and integrate incomplete past experiences
– find more ease, clarity, confidence and trust
– increase physical, mental emotional capacity and resilience
Every one of us is unique and so are our breathing mechanics, nervous system responses and every breath journey we embark on. This practice honours everyone’s own history, intention, present constitution and capacity. We listen deeply and work with the intelligence of the body & breath – safely and gradually.
Every day we will have a Breathwork Journey and Sharing Circle together to connect with ourselves and each other on a deeper level.
THIS RETREAT HAS NO FIXED AGENDA
It is about listening deeply to your needs moment to moment – not about working off another to-do-list. It is designed to support and empower you in tapping into your body’s inner wisdom and deciding from a state of alignment, intuition and capacity in what activities and practices you participate.
