“The way of love is not a subtle argument,
The door there is devastation.
Birds make great sky circles of their freedom.
How do they learn that ?
They fall.
And by falling they’re given wings’
-Rumi
About the retreat:
Experience a 6-day retreat immersed in yoga, meditation, continuum, and hiking, complemented by conscious dance and movement sessions. Led by an experienced teacher with over 20 years of experience, in a space crafted for your inner unravelling, radical rest and clarity.
Engage in morning and evening practices designed to cultivate inner ease, strength, and vitality. Group silent meditative walks and hikes deepen your connection to both nature and your inner landscape. Enjoy delicious food and comfortable accommodations in the breathtaking Alta Garrotxa National Park. Enjoy free time for forest walks, river baths, and wildlife encounters. A beautiful time of year to rest in deep nature & open to embrace your connection to life all within the community of the group.
A yoga and meditation practice suitable for all, with or without previous experience.
During the retreat, mornings will be dedicated to practices, starting with early meditation and walking meditation, followed by a two-hour yoga session focusing on body exploration and posture deepening inspired by Vanda Scaravelli, that cultivates presence and an orientation to an awakening of the dance of the spine through playful exploration of the asanas, breathing techniques and meditation.
Afternoons offer opportunities for group silent walking meditations, bathing in natural pools, or rest. One evening features a Conscious Free Dance/Movement session. Walk or hike into the forest or to take a short walk down the valley to the rivers and water pools to bathe in the incredible wild mountain landscape. Or rest in the many contemplative spots in the beautiful 56 hectares of land. Watch the incredible sunsets and be bathed in the sounds and sights of mountain nature.
Return to the mat in the late afternoon for a 2 hr evening yoga practice followed by dinner.
