With Biodanza, Art, Nature, Water & High Frequencies, Play Time, a special group of people, and all the right ingredients for a "Heaven on Earth" week.
For some time now, I’ve dreamt of organizing a summer retreat like the one I envisioned.
In a world where AI is on the rise, I believe we must go deeper into the art of being human—igniting our creativity and imagination, some of humanity's greatest gifts. This is a time to pause in nature, connect with like-minded souls, engage in meaningful activities, and simply enjoy life on this beautiful planet.
So I gathered with 2 kindred spirits and we created a week filled with magical yet simple ingredients that make unforgettable memories:
Being surrounded by nature in the summer
Staying at a beautiful quinta nestled in the Arrábida Natural Park
Starting the morning with a refreshing swim in the pool
Enjoying a fabulous breakfast made with love
Reading, walking in nature, playing, and having meaningful conversations
Savoring delicious meals prepared by a chef
Taking a dip in the sea, if the mood strikes
Plus, the big bonus:
Daily Biodanza classes in a 200 m² space surrounded by nature, where we will dance our way through four great books (facilitated by Ana Teresa Silva)
Artistic and sensory activities (facilitated by Kim Arazi)
Water work to move into higher vibrational states of joy and pleasure (facilitated by Sanna Lamb)
If this sounds like your ideal summer retreat, join us and gift yourself this magical week from July 21 to 25!

BOOKS WE'LL BE DANCING:
Each session is dedicated to a different book, exploring themes such as creativity, spirituality, relationships, abundance, leadership, and personal growth. You don’t need to have read the books, as we will dance key ideas of each book, embodying its teachings.
This is a first exploration of these great works, each of which contains many layers of understanding. It’s like taking a first walk through gardens of knowledge that our body, heart, mind, and soul can rediscover through dance.
The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer:
How to Be an Adult in Relationships by David Richo:
The Art of Power by Thich Nhat Hanh:
Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender by David R. Hawkins:
The Power of Biodanza:
Biodanza, known as the “dance of life,” activates the deep emotional and creative potentials within human connection, self-expression, and healing. This practice invites participants to reconnect with the innate wisdom of their bodies, moving beyond the intellect to access profound emotional and spiritual truths. Rooted in the sacredness of the body, Biodanza offers the perfect means to embody the wisdom of these books.
Each class will be an experiential journey, offering participants the opportunity to feel these teachings come alive in their bodies. Through dynamic group and partner exercises, we’ll explore key themes like love, resilience, manifestation, and creativity, while fostering a deep connection with others and oneself.
Each dance is a journey beyond words, a shared ritual of personal transformation, deep connection, and creative exploration. Through the universal language of movement, you won’t just learn the teachings—you’ll live them. Dance your way to deeper understanding, healing, and growth.
