Ancestral Healing
This retreat is focused in the healing and connection with our family and ancestors, our spiritual lineage and the Collective Unconscious of this land and this planet. The connection with our roots is extremely important because, wether we want it or not, we are deeply influenced by the ones that came before us and all the thoughts, feelings, patterns, challenges experienced by people around us. We are all connected, forming a big net. Being aware of our surroundings and our place in this net is the first step for a conscious existence, where we can be ourselves and offer to the world what we have to give. We will open a safe and beautiful space for you to look inside, look outside, explore new possibilities, new connections and new ways of existing in this net.

More about our activities
Body & Movement Workshop is focused on becoming aware of one’s own physical body. The movements in a broad and general sense of things, as well as on a more magnified and acute scale. Assessment of the individual joints of the body, their connections, their utility. As humans, we each have a very different set of bodies on a macro level. However, on the micro level, they are extremely similar. This workshop offers you the space to start to peel away the onion that it is the human body and moreso to the point your own body. Learn the basics and build on them daily. Injury often times occur not just out of bad luck but in fact when we misuse something repeatedly especially if there is dysfunctionality to begin with. Often times we don’t know that this movement is bad. There are many frequent injuries appearing in the world that can be prevented. We aim to empower you by teaching you about yourself, how to reduce occurrence of injury and how to build healthy habits in regards to postures and movements.
Family Constellation is a therapeutic process that has as its structure family dynamics and the action of 3 laws that act in these family relationships and in other relationships in our lives. When we open the “systemic field”, it is possible to perceive what the soul and the physical body actually feel and that we are not aware of. It is a deep process of awareness based on honor, gratitude and acceptance of the destiny and choices of our ancestors, starting with our fathers and mothers. The constellation allows us to access a path towards the solution of conflicts and unresolved situations in our family dynamics and invites us to live with a positive attitude towards life and those who offered us the gift of life.
Living Singing - medicine music is a sound therapy with voice and shamanic/healing instruments. The facilitator will attune the 7 chakras and channel the sounds that the group needs to balance, heal and energize these energy centers. The sounds can be healing songs or totally improvised sounds, reflecting the element, frequency and vibration of each Chakra. Aromatherapy, Shamanic Tools and Reiki are also used in the healing experience.
Cacao ceremony is a sacred meditation space that will help you to get out of your head and into your heart, opening the doors to your magic, talents and gifts. Cacao’s number one job is to open your heart and help you to love yourself exactly where you’re at. Cacao helps you to drop past the mind and into the heart, relaxes the nervous system, and helps you to access the subconscious mind from a place of deep focus and relaxation. From this state of being you have access to the parts of yourself that are ready to be seen, loved, and worked with.
Ecstatic dance is a form of dance in which the dancers release themselves to the rhythm and move freely as the music takes them, leading to trance and a feeling of ecstasy. The idea is to connect to your own body and let it move the way that feels good, paying attention in the emotions and sensations that comes up, trying to find the blockages in your body and giving yourself the opportunity of releasing them.
