Essencia Natural Retreat, 66V7+GM, 8670-130, Portugal
About the event
Join us for a day of coming back to what is essential. In the wild, nurturing embrace of Essencia's magical shala in the woods, we are gathering a circle to breathe, to move, and to share in the medicine of community.
This is a collaborative afternoon co-created by Lena, Arthur & Ana, and Johannes. Our aim is to offer a shared journey from the physical body into the depths of the breath, and finally into the collective resonance of our voices.
The Journey
14:00 | Arrival & Opening Circle
Gathering together and setting the container for our journey.
14:30 | Hatha Yoga with Johannes
Opening the physical body to prepare for the breath.
15:30 | Transformational Breath with Lena
A deep, concise journey to clear the internal space and expand our presence. Includes some theory & breath dance.
16:45 | Cacao & Nature Connection
Receiving ceremonial cacao before stepping out onto the land for solo reflection and connection with the plants.
17:45 | Sensing & Impulse Dance with Arthur
Guided movement practice to let the body be danced, exploring shapes and energies without thinking, embracing the joy of free movement.
18:30 | Singing Circle with Arthur & Ana
Gathering our voices in communal harmony and shared prayer - original songs inspired by all traditions and hearts.
19:30 | Integration: Concert & Sound Bath with Lena
A seamless flow from the circle into deep receiving. A short concert of original songs followed by a restorative sound bath with crystal singing bowls.
20:15 | Closing Circle
Final sharing and grounding before we depart.
