I Love · I Trust — Weekend Retreat (7–8 February) Near Meco · Zambujal · Small group · One night. Meals included A weekend to slow down and return to loving depth. A space where safety opens you and strength holds you. The retreat unfolds through a guided arc across the weekend, held with the full group. We move between guided self-inquiry, embodied awareness, organic and archetypal movement, stillness, time in nature, and structured sharing — with space for questions and integration throughout. Practices are clearly guided yet spacious: lying down in body-based meditation, moving freely through dance, sitting in presence with another, walking, or being alone with what wants attention. Music, spoken guidance, and silence support the process. The tone is gentle, loving, and deeply contained. Emotions are welcome without being pushed. People often leave feeling blissed out, grounded, and more connected — to themselves and to the beauty of shared presence. Facilitated by Mack Price & Cremilde Almeida
