We are happy to invite you to participate in our very first Chakras Retreat at Camino Art House. This is the time to experience the power of nature, work with it’s energies, and connect to your chakras. Through yoga practice, meditation and theories you will learn about your chakras, their main role and their extended funcions.
Engage in a meaningful journey through your energetic centers, in search for a balanced state in body and mind. Get in touch with the Chakras and the energetic body as a whole in theory and in practice. For this retreat we will use tools like carefully designed Yoga sequences, Pranayama breathing exercises, guided meditations, movement practices and self-expression, as well as different methods to explore the Elements and their related energies. The sessions will be accompanied by a variety of musical instruments, creating Chakra-specific soundscapes to enhance the connections within ourselves.
The experience will be completed with a healthy and delicious vegan menu. Three meals will be served per day, with ingredients influenced by Ayurvedic principles. The surroundings will also play an important role, because all the activities will take place in
Nature, in the beautiful ‘barranco’ that also holds the cave-rooms and camp area for a very quiet and renewing rest.
