Retreat: Moving into Balance
Surfing, dancing, yoga and healing activities ensure inner balance and lots of fun with this retreat. Are you ready to clear your mind and connect with your body? Then this retreat in Portugal is truly meant for you. When you let energy flow, everything will become easier. When you try new things and step out of your comfort zone you will create space and freedom in your life. You can chose if you want to participate in all activities or a few. Just go with your flow. The group will be around 8 people, with a maximum of 14 participants. The retreat in October is in English. The retreat in May is in Dutch.
Surfing: the best way to meditate?
The sea challenges you to move with the flow. When you keep an eye on the waves, it’s difficult for your thoughts to wander elsewhere. You can’t help but be in the present moment. Brian will teaches and motivates us in surfing. He understands what people need and helps you find your balance on the board and in the sea and brings a lot of good vibes.
Absolutely zen with a sound concert and aromatherapy
One evening, we will indulge in a fantastic sound concert by Patrícia Duarte Gonçalves. The vibrations and sounds of the singing bowls and the gong will help us find complete inner peace. Her concerts are truly special to experience. And the whole week you can enjoy guided meditations with aromatherapy.
Yoga lessons
Starting the day with a yoga class overlooking the sea! How wonderful is that? The yoga classes are led by Claudia. She ensures that the classes are enjoyable for beginners and more experienced yogis. She helps you reconnect with embracing your own body. Even back in the Netherlands, I still felt grateful for her yoga classes.
Healingwork with dance
Dancing combined with energetic work is a golden combination. Mirjam uses this in a playful way to bring you back to yourself. You will let go of what no longer serves you and can be totally yourself. Just like with surfing, it becomes easier to go with the flow. The mind relaxes nicely, leading to more balance. We also start one evening with a cacao ceremonie. Cacao opens the heart and the soul.
Release, recharge and relax
We start the day with a healthy breakfast, packed with good ingredients. And you get a delicious vegetarian dinner. Your body will be cleaned from the inside. We also challenge you to a digital detox. If you really want to gain more balance and create more space for yourself in your life, it is better to put your smartphone away. Everyone can decide for themselves whether to use their smartphone in their own time, but during group activities, we ask you to turn it off. We also turn off the WiFi during the nights.
