Habemus Corpus
The body has a unique intelligence that we do not usually access and ignoring this somatic wisdom leads us to a state of disconnection with ourselves.
Our attention is imprisoned to the mental world, which generates anxiety, confusion, and internal conflict in decision-making processes.
It was to provide an experience of reconnection and help those who are feeling disconnected that Habemus Corpus was born: an immersion retreat to remember our ability to listen and honor the feeling of our body.
To reconnect with your somatic intelligence is to rescue the instinctual wisdom that exists in you and the pleasure of inhabiting the body with consciousness.
What the experience includes
During this Reconnection Experience you will be immersed in your body and in nature, staying in a beautiful country house that has access (in the backyard!) to a private waterfall, in addition to an extensive garden, balcony with a privileged view of the mountains and deck overlooking the waterfall.
You will be able to try a variety of activities that focus on cultivating body awareness and movement, such as mindfulness, yoga practices, dynamic meditation and free dance.
It is part of the program to have direct contact with nature through grounding walks, all meals with light and healthy food (vegetarian and/or vegan, with attention to individual restrictions) and waterfall bath to relax.
In addition to body practices and contact with nature, we will do conversation circles and intentional rites that accelerate our processes of transformation and reconnection.
* The schedule may change according to the development of group processes and weather conditions.
The pillars of this experience
To reconnect with somatic intelligence we will go through a journey of self-awareness structured by 4 pillars:
- Reconnecting with the body’s natural rhythm
- Mindfulness for reconnection with the body’s feeling
- Awareness of the relationship and communication with the body
- Attitude of care and conscious choice to honor the body
