Late summer in Portugal with Hilde Broeckhove & Louise Chardon September 12th > 15th

We invite you to 4 days of introspection and celebration of your subtle self!

In the supportive environment of A Mandola, Space to Be, near Odemira, South-West of Portugal.

Hilde will take you into a journey and discovery of basic Chi Kung, Tao yoga and Tao meditation to get to know your inner body better. You will learn to listen to your inner family (your organs), clean out negative emotions and transform them into positive life force energy. You will learn to relax deeply into your bones, find tendon strength and proper alignment of your structure. We will open important meridians, gather earth force, heavenly force and cosmic energy and re(awaken) as a human in this universal trinity.

Louise wishes to invite us to meander in the subtle layers of our embodied self through breath, dedicated attention, caring touch, and sentient movement. These somatic explorative ways are for us to encounter ourself and each other in the most fundamental reality of our nature which is elemental, meaning we are mineral, celestial, solar, fluidic, earthy, and so forth. Ultimately, we’ll encompass the surrounding landscapes in our awakened tactility and receptivity, by resonance, contemplation, communion, dance, and/or any other nurturing emanation. An invitation to dwell into the ground of our being-ness.

Open for every soul wishing to dive with us in these fields of the micro and macro cosmos of our body/mind/soul and somatic practices.

No prior knowledge or experience needed, just an open mind to receive and be in wonder…

The group sessions will be in the mornings till lunch time.

The afternoon is open for own practice, integration, relaxation time or individual movement/bodywork sessions with Hilde and/or Louise.
