Portugal Retreat 2021 - Monte Da Orada

The Experience

WE INVITE YOU TO

‘LIGHT BODIES RISING’

A RETREAT THAT TAKES YOU ON A JOURNEY, TO AWAKEN TO THE SOVEREIGN LIGHT BODY THAT YOU ARE

In

Monte Da Orada, Portugal

OUR SACRED PLACE OF REST FOR THE WEEK WILL BE MONTE DA ORADA, AN ANCIENT RETREAT SITE WITH HISTORIC BUILDINGS DATING BACK TO THE XII CENTURY. IT WAS KNOWN AS THE "SANCTUARY OF NOSSA SENHORA DA ORADA" (OUR LADY OF ORADA SANCTUARY).

YOU WILL BE HELD IN LOVE & INTUITIVE SUPPORT TO ENABLE A DEEP REMEMBERING & AWAKENING TO THE SOVEREIGN LIGHT BODY THAT YOU ARE.

NURTURED & CARRIED BY THE SURROUNDING ENERGY OF THE LAND, WE WILL JOURNEY THROUGH THE SENSES AND BEYOND. WITH THE SUBTLE ESSENCE OF PLANTS AND THE SPIRIT OF GAIA WE SURRENDER INTO THE GRACE OF THE FEMININE, THE COSMIC WATERS & GRANDMOTHER DARKNESS. FROM THAT INTUITIVE PLACE OF TENDERNESS & RECEPTIVITY WE WILL CHANNEL THE SPIRIT OF OUR SOVEREIGN LIGHT. CONNECTING TO GRANDFATHER SUN & THE ELEMENT OF FIRE WE WILL CHANNEL CREATIVE LIFE FORCE ENERGY FOR POWERFUL CONSCIOUS CREATION.

RETREAT LAYOUT

RETREAT FOCUS

‘LIGHT BODIES RISING’ IS A POWERFUL & TRANSFORMATIVE JOURNEY THAT LEADS YOU THROUGH CEREMONY, SENSORIAL EXPERIENCE, MEDITATION & EMBODIMENT PRACTICES TO CONNECT YOU BACK TO YOUR SOVEREIGN LIGHT SOURCE WITHIN.

IT IS AN INVITATION TO SURRENDER INTO THE NURTURING COSMIC VOID, WHERE GRANDMOTHER DARKNESS HOLDS YOU IN WHOLENESS & TRUTH. FROM THIS PLACE YOU ACCESS YOUR OWN INFINITE WISDOM, SOVEREIGN POWER AND A REMEMBERING OF YOUR SOUL’S TRUE VOICE.

✨

DAILY MEDITATIONS WITH PLANT ESSENCES HELP YOU RECONNECT & ATTUNE TO THE FREQUENCY OF GAIA, RECEIVING ANCIENT WISDOM & CODES FROM THE PLANTS’ AURIC FIELDS.

EXPERIENCE CLARITY & INSPIRATION AS YOU REMEMBER THE ANCIENT WAYS OF HOW TO BRING YOUR OWN ENERGETIC FREQUENCY BACK INTO HARMONY WITH EARTH’S RESONANCE.

✨

IN CEREMONY WITH WATER & FIRE, WE WILL CHANNEL THE SPIRIT OF THESE ELEMENTALS. THROUGH WATER WE WILL EXPLORE OUR DIVINE FEMININE WISDOM AND THE DARK WOMB - ENTERING DARKNESS TO BE HELD AND NOURISHED. ALLOWING THE WATERS TO TOUCH AND CLEANSE OUR DEEPEST WOUNDS. PRESENCE-ING OURSELVES WITHIN EMOTION TO EXPERIENCE THE HEALING.

THROUGH CEREMONY GATHERED AROUND ‘FIRE’ WE WILL CHANNEL THE VOICE AND SPIRIT OF FIRE, ALLOWING LIFE FORCE ENERGY TO MOVE THROUGH US AND ENABLE CONSCIOUS CREATION. WE WILL EXPLORE LIGHTING OUR OWN INNER FIRE TO RECEIVE THE WISDOM OF THE SOVEREIGN FLAME. BY GATHERING AND FOCUSING OUR LIGHT WE WILL CREATE STRUCTURES OF HEALTHY EXPRESSION, HONOURING OUR SACRED RAGE, ANGER AND PASSION.

✨

AS A COLLECTIVE, WE WILL ENTER INTO THE SWEAT LODGE TO EMRACE THE DARK AND REMEMBER THE ANCESTRAL SPIRITS & TRIBE MIND. WE WILL HONOUR OUR ANIMAL BODIES AND ANCIENT EARTH TEMPLES. TEMPERING OUR INNER WATER AND FIRE. BALANCING THE INTERNAL VOICE OF THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE. WE WILL AWAKEN OUR INTUITIVE GUIDANCE. WE INVITE MY FRIEND, MARIANA CORTASAO, A NATIVE RESIDENT OF PORTUGAL TO POUR THE WATERS OF THIS LODGE AND LEAD THIS CEREMONY. YOU CAN READ HER BIO HERE: https://www.agualume.com/sweat-lodges/

✨

SHAMANIC CANDLELIT YOGA & EMBODIED MOVEMENT PRACTICES WILL GUIDE YOU TO A DEEPER STATE OF RECEPTIVITY.

GROUP WISDOM CHANNELING WILL CONNECT YOU TO YOUR DIVINE LIGHT SOURCE AND ENABLE YOU TO HEAR THE COLLECTIVE VOICE.

THROUGH THIS ENTIRE 6 DAY JOURNEY, YOU WILL BE HELD IN A PLACE OF DEEP NUTURE & SURRENDER, IMMERSED IN SUBTLE FIELD COMMUNICATION, ALIGNING WITH THE ELEMENTALS AND OUR ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS. AWAKENING OUR SOUL GIFTS IN HARMONY WITH THE DREAM OF GAIA. ALLOWING OUR FULL UNAPOLOGETIC SHINE, LIGHT BODIES RISING!

And Lastly…! We Will Nourish Ourselves!
