Our mornings will begin with movement, meditation and breathing practices. We will explore different topics in group sessions such as cultivating presence, consent, boundaries and receiving. In the afternoons either an excursion will be planned or deep relaxation sessions will be offered. There will be free time to reflect, journal, swim in the hotel pool or go on walks.

Sunday 28 August:Our first session introduces the lunar phases with a moon cycle dream mandala, and focuses on the deeper meaning behind dreaming with the lunar phases. We’ll learn the steps for good dreaming, including recall and documenting; we’ll dance with the subtle energy of the new moon; and we’ll plant the seeds of our intentions – individual and collective – for a new cycle.
