BEAUTY IN BELONGING
WORKSHOP
Diving into one of our greatest human strengths, we remember our truest sense of belonging. This workshop, involving group discussions and partner exercises, is a transformative heart-opener designed to help us overcome obstacles on our path and to re-discover the art of being seen.
Journey into deep meditative states through a vast spaciousness and the sacred world of sound. Enjoy a beautifully immersive experience — intended to create peaceful and positive shifts, and foster heart-opening experiences.
SOUND JOURNEY
ACTIVE MEDITATION EXPERIENCE
This is a powerful shaking and dancing meditation. We begin in a state of shaking, transition to dance, then to seated meditation and finally, laying in meditation. Delivering beautiful results, this workshop helps us to release and awaken our temples.
ECSTATIC DANCE EXPERIENCE
You are invited to dive into the beautiful art of explorative and expressive movement. You are welcome and also encouraged to connect with the music, to be authentic and to move your body (or not move) however you feel most organically pulled.
3 VEGETARIAN MEALS PER DAY*
Nourish your body with delicious and nutritional food, throughout your entire retreat. All meals are vegetarian, prepared and cooked with wholeness and love by the culinary staff at Munay Sonqo. We will also enjoy 3 incredible meals in Aguas Calientes, while on our 2-Day Machu Picchu Tour.
