A week of deep immersion with movement & painting

Here you can unwind, relax and tune into your sensing body with breath, mindful presence and embodiment as you move and paint in this wild Portuguese landscape.

This week offers you a journey of self-discovery through guided movement practice, painting, moving in nature, witnessing and be witnessed, laughter and to simply be – calling up your wild and magnificent elemental self to express vitality, creativity, spirit and imagination.

The Daily Rhythm

Each day we will move in a different location in the surrounding environment, opening our elemental self to the elements of nature for guidance in movement. We pay attention to how we want to move and express, how we feel and open to our imaginary world.

Nature generously mirrors aspect of our life, bringing to awareness personal imagery, emotions and inner dynamics. Our movement experience is directed freely and spontaneously into the painting process bringing to light physical sensations, feelings, metaphor and archetypal energies.

An intimate dialogue is created between movement experience and the painting process, encouraging a ‘deep dive’ within. This is our sacred and wild place where we can listen deeply to our intuition and mine the gold that lies within.

Together we will create a supportive, non judgemental community, creating a celebratory ritual at the end of the week.

There is great alchemy in the connection between the moving experience and the painting process. It has the capacity to bring clarity to personal themes, to ignite innate creativity, for us to express what has been repressed, to open ourselves to our imaginal and wild world, to transform what has stagnated, and to heal and be deeply nourished.

During the week there will be plenty of time for reflections, whether alone or with others. Perhaps relaxing in the plunge pool or swinging in a hammock under the shade of a tree.
