We are entering the winter season, awaiting for the dark long days to come upon us, bringing with them a special invitation to dive deeper into our sacred selves. As nature retreats into a slower rhythm , animals slow their pace, trees root deeper into the soil, and it gets quieter, it looks as if not much is happening yet a lot is being moved at the core.
We have harvested and collected through the autumn the medicine of our experiences, whether good or bad, we are ready to chew them slowly, to digest them all and extract their goodness.
As we enter the dark void womb of mother earth, representative of the womb of our mothers, where we once were guided by pulsations and movement, we are invited to dive in the creative possibilities that this season carries.
The darkness brings calmness, focus, slowing down, stillness and movement. The kind of movement that connects us with our feminine essence, the kind of experience that allows the body to become a true embodiment in the here and now.
THE ACTIVITIES
Munay Breathwork : is one of the most powerful available inner technologies to shed past emotional traumas, physical and emotional pain from the body and energetic field. Breathwork connects you to your power as an inner healer, to your life force. We have specially designed a musical journey, that includes crystal singing bowls, shamanic drums, rattles and native Peruvian instruments. In this safe and supportive setting, you will experience a true expanded state of awareness.
Cacao Ceremony : A native ancestral central american ceremony that involves the sacred medicine of cacao. With the Spirit of Cacao we can travel towards our Inner self where our wisdom and love live. This ceremony is oriented to reconnect with beauty, sweetness and love in ourselves. Cacao will invite us to open the heart’s door, connecting us to our love and feelings of oneness.
Sound/Voice activations: we will use sound in every way. From sound baths, to activating our most powerful sound tool, the voice. We will clear and expand our vibratory field to allow more space, more love, more joy, more abundance in our lives. We will call in the energy we wish to manifest in our lives and let the sound frequencies expand and activate our wishes. Sound will also give us an energetic massage deep into the cells, softly resetting everything back into optimal alignment.
Meditation: whether you have any experience in meditation or not, the simple act of being in stillness will start to guide you inside your world. Allowing you to see and understand your inner chatter. Bringing awareness to this will jumpstart you into making new choices in your life.
Sauna & cold lake Plunges : give your body a delicious sauna, with aromatherapy scrubs and essential oils, pampering our physical bodies to the max. Cold lake after? 😉
Plus grounding forest walks, Ayurvedic meals and lots of free time so you can integrate and enjoy you time. Leaving this 4 days completely renewed and aligned with your new energy.

Denisse Dulanto, Peru
“During An energetic activity with Daniel & Fiorella I felt my head, my arms and my entire body expand so much that it almost felt a portal was opening up inside of me and I couldn’t fit in my being anymore – it was a powerful energetic experience of making room for the little girl that had been wanting to come through me for such a long time.”
