Living in the Deep Body

Join us for five unforgettable days of  traveling the enchanted territory of your deep body and your personal legend on a magical land nestled between ocean and mountains near the village of Odeceixe

THE JOURNEY IN A NUTSHELL  Re-inhabitation of the deep body. Deep Body and deep psyche. Sense-ability, eros, and body knowing as greater intelligence. Personal myth, heroine's journey, and embodied breakthrough. Flow vs. trauma. Wholeness and belonging. Living the love story of your life, full body.  

THE LAND   Vida Pura is an eco-retreat  center nestled amidst the green forests of a nature preserve and the close proximity of the ocean,  near the  enchanted village of Odeceixe and its marvelous beach.  Listen to the stream running through the land, dip in the pond, take hikes by the river and through the valley, or hang out with the donkeys who are part of the family at Vida Pura. We will be fed by an an organic farm based on bio-dynamic principles.

​

OUR PRIMARY LANGUAGES  Deep-Body® embodiment, intuitive and investigative movement,  embodied archetypal research, body-based soul work, ritual embodiment, dance. 

​

AFTER THE RETREAT  An Online  Integrative Closing Summit, Tuesday Sept 29, 19-21h GMT+1. Community member page. A  Resource Page with audio practices.

​

​

In a depthful and nourishing environment, held by a gorgeous forested land, a powerful group of humans, and our unique Deep Body Studies curriculum, you will be guided and supported in re-inhabiting your ‘deep body'–– the convergence of mind, senses, eros, psyche, and soul in your physical form. Informed by the deep body's all-encompassing intelligence, in this journey you are be called  to make soulful strides into the breadth and depth of your personal myth and your unmistakable contribution to the new  Story of the People. 

Our Deep Body Model will offer you pathways to investigate your life’s most charged questions and longings, your deepest vulnerabilities, and the archetypal forces at play in your story––all in the language of your body’s expressive and intuitive freedom, your deeper erotic intelligence, your creative movement and living imagination. As you are guided to move into the different “skins” of your deep body– physical, emotional, sensual, expressive, perceptive, and collective–– you will also be invited into greater clarity of your heroine’s journey and the ways it contributes to the greater earthly myth we are part of.

ABOUT THE DEEP BODY STUDIES PROGRAM and OUR FACILITATOR TRAINING AT LARGE

​

While this Living in the Deep Body is a stand-alone journey that can be taken powerfully by itself,  it also makes one half of our Deep Body Studies Program–– an in-depth curriculum offering a deeply experiential, in-the-body approach to interpersonal transformation, embodied learning and leadership. For those who might be interested in doing more depth work and training with us, completing this Living in the Deep Body intensive allows you to stay on and participate in our  facilitator training Embodied Ambassador Facilitator Training, which follows directly after this retreat (Sept 9-15). You could also take the training in the future.

The entire Deep Body Studies program, of which this retreat is one half, is offered in two independent modules–  this one, Living in the Deep Body,  and the Embodying Feminine Genius, which can be taken as  as a 3-month journey online.  You can complete the Feminine Genius module later, and only if desired. It is required for the full completion of the facilitator training, but can be taken after the training.  (See more details here)
