Autumn Retreat
"AGNI, THE ALTAR OF FIRE"
Iyengar Yoga, Meditative Arts, Connection and Transformation in Nature
Pablo Ferrero & Martha Tena are the instructors.
- November 2nd to 5th, 2023 – 3 nights / 4 days.
- November 3rd to 5th, 2023 – 2 nights / 3 days. Limited spots.
- At Casa Rural El Pagano, Sierra de Gredos.
A retreat dedicated to Agni, the transformative fire. Through Yoga, Dance, and Traditional Non-Dual Tantra, we explore our inner altar.
The nature of Gredos, the stillness of the space that hosts us, and a group united under a purpose, propel practice and self-knowledge.
Through the practice of Yoga, meditative arts, rituals, and activities in nature, we will work with fear—the fear we have of ourselves, of our highest potential. Ancient Yoga techniques, seen through a contemporary lens, will guide us. Iyengar and Vinyasa Krama Yoga, pranayamas and the cultivation of conscious breathing, as well as meditation spaces.
What fears limit us? What obstacles prevent us from manifesting ourselves fully? What insecurities imprison the impulse of our heart? We will carry out practices in nature in forests and caves.
The philosophical foundations of Traditional Tantra, Kashmiri Shaivism, and Shakta traditions guide us through this retreat by aiding our understanding of the cosmologies they present, as well as the technology they propose: techniques in service of the profound liberation of the soul.
Iyengar Yoga, Meditative Arts and Transformation in Nature
Iyengar Yoga will serve as a methodology to activate the seeds of the different rasas.
We are accompanied by organic movement and ritual dance, Yoga Dance Veda, and the wisdom unlocked by mythological narratives and symbolic maps of Traditional Tantra, along with its philosophy and teachings applied to everyday life.
This retreat is open for practitioners who wish to delve into their nature, to get to know themselves, to self-inquire with curiosity and joy. The practices are organic and accessible, adaptable to what our bodies require. All physical conditions are welcome.
If you haven’t had experience in these types of practices, or if there’s something significant in your body, please share, as what we will need is to have a conversation before we meet.
No previous knowledge of yoga or the practices we are going to undertake is required. Everything will be explained from the basics.
