7 Day All-inclusive Tantra & Dance Retreat in Portugal

AYA and her caring team are welcoming you in for a tantalizing week. This experience will be a healing journey for you, hosted in a pristine green valley located in the mountains of tranquil central Portugal.

This retreat will provide you with the surroundings and care to take a step back from your daily life and regain balance using your own body’s ability to heal, by the power of intentions and attention and free ourselves through playfulness.

Through dancing, we can shift our awareness through different aspects of being, and our perceptions of the different layers of self. We will start dancing from the perspective of the mind, but when we go further on this path of liberation, at a certain point we will feel our soul is taking over. And we will dance our souls dance. Complete freedom, expressed through the body. You will see this freedom will follow you in its rhythm in every aspect of your daily life.

You can dance to connect. Connect with the Earth that grounds you, the Cosmos above, and everything in the middle. With everything that you are. Experience that you are a piece of the ALL. Give space to what is held inside the body, give it form. Follow the body to release inner obstructions and in doing so allow space for the soul to express itself. From the awareness of the soul, you will reconnect with the world around you. Energy flows to the love for the self, into love for life itself. From there it can flow freely to the people around you.

Dancing will be a daily part of the menu. Different kinds of dances, like Ecstatic Dance, Contact Dance, wild dance, elements dance journey. The dances we will explore are not about teaching you a new dance, not about following the steps of the teacher. It is about giving space to your inner world. To express the mind and follow the way your body wants to move. This gives space for the soul to follow and express itself through movement. This movement goes beyond dancing. Every movement is welcome, and every sound that comes with it. Let’s go beyond the dances we learned to dance in our past.

💃Let’s find the dance of our soul.

Holistically we will care for you. Serving you only the best vegan and vegetarian meals prepared with love and full attention. To nourish you and invite you to detox on all levels.

In between the group activities, you can read undisturbed in a hammock by the river, write or draw anywhere on the grounds of AYA, be alone in your bubble go for a hike on one of our hiking trails, enjoy a massage, hang out with the other participants, just take your space and time to feel what you need, what you feel most attracted to to do at the moment. Go with your flow.

Through this ‘Tantric Dance Retreat’ AYA’s team aims to bring those things together that make your soul thrive.
