About this event

Hosting the cold seasons inside a community
During the autumn equinox quarantine we scheduled a meeting for 3 days. How does this cycle of the sun's descent go through us?

We pulse when we remember part of living nature, that we are porous to its movements and a body in constant transformation.

We will welcome the external and internal landscapes, intertwining them, agreeing on resources that we can take to relate to our cyclicality.

HOW?
Through the encounter with you and the group. Since ancient times, we meet in circles and groups to become aware of the cycles and their crossings. Group meetings are irreplaceable for our mammalian and ecosystemic nature, as a space for understanding and repair.

Through the body. How to embrace body wisdom? Throughout these three days we will awaken body awareness as part of the living and sensitive nature. We will work on resources that we can then take home for encounter and regulation.
Through creativity in all its living and free forms. We will explore expression, accessing this natural channel of existence to bring out hidden pieces of ourselves.

The days will be linked by circles, practices and moments that will be based on meditation, eco-somatic education, therapeutic movement and dance, intuitive art, eco-mythology and eco-psychology.

BIO


Inês, 39 years old, is passionate about life, its mysteries and endless possibilities of exploration.


Life took her from communication and production of artistic events and content to the production of human development events.


She is bringing to the world some of the healing tools that support her self-knowledge: meditation, writing, dancing and natural cooking.


Always studying and learning with the wisdom of those who inspire her, but above all through giving her whole body to life.

There is nothing that teaches Inês more than this experience that is living and exploring all its magic.

Nuno, 42 years old, looked for answers to his existential anxieties in all that society promotes to find out that experiences turned to the material world yet important are ephemeral.

By exploring techniques of self knowledge, he started his journey “back home”, but it was through the practice of the diverse methodologies of meditation that he started a deeper and more authentic relationship with himself and the world around him.

After living alone on the hill without tv and social media for some years, where he received people to meditate and provided private personal development sessions, he decided to expand his activity to the public in early 2022.

Nuno leads meditation classes, workshops, courses and 1:1 sessions, as well as retreats at a lovely farm in Porto. His mission is to promote meditation and help others integrating it in their daily lives.

His sessions follow the way of self inquiry, silence and self management through integration and liberation, as well as the zen approach - being with the reality as it is in the present moment.

He develops and applies the methodology of Meditative Coaching and he also wrote a book named “A Prova do José” while expanding through PNL, Coaching and sports training.
