A weekend for the body, heart & soul. The weekend will start with a cacao ceremony happening on Friday night. Yoga, meditations and sound journeys will be available throughout the weekend; and on Saturday night we dive deep with a powerful Temazcal (sweat lodge) that will enhance your connection with your roots. 

Nourishing food is included, as well as shared accommodation amongst beautiful nature with the ocean surrounding us, and loving people to warm our hearts.

We will only make 15 spaces available for the general public, so be quick, and take advantage of the early bird (first tickets sold)! 🙂

This amazing  experience taught her to live in harmony with herself and her surroundings  and how important it is to share this knowledge with everyone.

This journey took her to discover New Zealand, where she started teaching Yoga in some retreat centers in the North and South Islands.  This amazing land gave her the great opportunity to share her knowledge and wisdom in different occasions from festivals to workshops ans retreats, such as Voice of Sacred Earth Festival, New Zealand’s International Yoga Festival and NZ Spirit.
