Retreat Highlights

Breath of Our Ancestors:
Each generation leaves a legacy for the next. We breathe the same air, walk on the same earth and drink the same water as our ancestors before us. We also inherit many of the physical attributes and postures of our lineage and embody many of their behavioral patterns and beliefs. Some still work for us, and many no longer serve our highest good. As we resolve the patterns and traumas from past generations that we have embodied we free up ourselves as well as our family energy which in turn affects all humanity. Our part is to end the cycle. In this workshop through conscious connected breathing and awareness techniques we will explore how we hold these patterns from the past in our body/mind and learn how to open to the freedom of the present.

The Breath of Liberation:
We will explore the concept of the Inner Child and how this relates to healing our family lineage. When we are children, we have such a free spirit, we are vulnerable, trusting, open and full of joy, and presence. But sometimes life circumstances can make us begin to hide the full expression of ourselves, we create coping mechanisms, and suppress our emotions. In this workshop, we will learn the importance of reconnecting and embracing our little ones, allowing them to regain trust, and uncover the joys that life can bring. And how to maintain an ongoing relationship with these parts of ourselves.

Sacred Ceremony:
Join us insert the names of the shamnic abuelos and abuelas who are coming? For a shamanic ceremony led by Indigenous Brazilian shamans, inviting ancestral wisdom to guide your healing and transformation. This ceremony immerses you in Brazil’s mystical energy, offering unique pathways for spiritual connection and self-discovery.

Sacred Rituals:
Experience a heart-opening cacao ceremony with pure, locally sourced Brazilian cacao fruit, connecting deeply to the land’s nurturing essence.

WHAT YOU WILL GAIN:
– Open a pathway to identify and transform unresolved family patterns in ourselves.
– Release embodied holding patterns while maintaining healthy boundaries
– Connect with the blessings and gifts of our lineage
– Learn practical tools for personal healing
– Make peace with the past in ourselves
– Leave with clarity and a strengthened connection to your authentic path.
