Giving & Receiving:
The Elegant Balance of
Selfless Action & Compassionate Acceptance

A 4-day/5-night Retreat in the Desert
In English with Portuguese Translation

The nature of the desert is fully conducive to helping us experience this state of being. Spending time in the desert seems to remove all that is inessential so all that remains is clearly seen.

In a safe and protected space we will explore common difficulties with the ability to give and to receive. By attuning with desert plants we will have the opportunity to uncover areas that keep us from fully giving and receiving and discover flower essences to harmonize.

This four-day retreat is an opportunity to:
