Your life is knocking on the door of your body, sometimes gently, sometimes powerfully, asking you to open the door, just a little... to start to drop the defences and armour, just a little... those same defences and armour that once protected you, but now only keep you closed and tangled up in a constricted chest, tight throat, frozen pelvis or shoulders, trapped in the repetitive thoughts or ever-lurking anxiety, fear or depression...

That same life that is wanting to now be freed up, to be allowed to move your organism, in its own rhythm, into more harmony…..That same life that is now calling you to surrender, just a little, to its infinite gentle intelligence so its can show you coherence on the deepest level, so that you may, once again, know trust and safety and joy - not as concepts or memories - but in their aliveness, by the way they feel as they are permitted to move you into your natural embodied state of human Being.

Join the journey, we are here, at your door, waiting for you to finally acknowledge that still, small voice of realness asking for freedom, the still small voice that is the gate-keeper of profound joy inside of you.

Welcome to this 6 day immersion at this world class retreat centre located just one hour from Porto in Portugal. You will be dropped into nature and embraced by the nurturing and nourishing land, food, conversations, learnings, insights, friendships...and Joy. In the quiet of nature we can open to ourselves without the distraction of every day life, stressful jobs or difficult domestics, to immerse deeper into curiosity and stillness - here we are able to explore some new aspects of Self.

This is a movement towards understanding more profoundly our nervous system states. Via experiential play, movement, sound, asana, breath and frequency, you will be invited towards flexibility, fluidity ,groundedness, awareness, strength, resilience and feeling - not just in your body, but in Life.

You will be offered new ways of exploring and communicating your body, in a safe, held and facilitated space, through carefully crafted exercises, meditations and practices. You will be introduced to various somatic mechanisms intended to bring you to the place we call "HOME" where the magic of play and curiosity re-enters your life to colour and nourish your nervous system.

- Fascia/Connective Tissue

- The Psoas

Teodora is a TRE® Trainee Trainer based in Bucharest, Romania. Drawing on her experience with dance, Martial Arts, and climbing, she is passionate about exploring the amazing possibilities of the human organism and its ability to restore natural rhythms and flow that support a life of thriving instead of merely surviving. A perfectly imperfect human, still on her own journey of hurting and healing, expressing and feeling,

Teodora is offering her guidance, presence and aliveness in service to all of you who feel inside the possibility of uncovering your truest, unedited, authentic & natural selves that lie beneath the defence strategies that you may have come to know yourselves as. She is inviting you to step out of doing and into your genuine Being, and she is deeply grateful to witness and guide you on the journey back HOME. Home to your undisturbed freedom, to your neutral natural center of being, to your yummy vibration and true pulsation, to your silent stillness and deep wisdom through the tremor mechanism evoked by TRE®.
