Puglia, Italy
A late autumn retreat to slow down, listen & restore wholeness. As the nights lengthen and the earth begins its slow turning towards winter, nature invites us into a different rhythm, a time of gestation. This is what Sanctum is about: deepening, descending, restoring, dreaming and listening to what has been waiting beneath the surface, asking to be heart, acknowledged and integrated.

AYURVEDA MEDICINE CLEANSING RETREAT
This 11-day course with Sofía Hernandez, who has been sharing her knowledge for many years in addition to "working" as a healer, will cover her elemental understanding of illness; we will work with plants and how to use them in the preparation of tinctures and balms; healing rituals such as flower baths; different massage techniques; the rebozo technique; preparation of florida water and much more, including "soul loss" work which essentially aims to restore vitality to the body-soul-spirit. The traditional healing process is rooted in the understanding that illness stems from an imbalance between body-mind-spirit (i.e., heart/mind/emotions) in their interaction with life/earth/universe/cosmos.

EATING WILD PLANTS WORKSHOP
March 26th
Valley Cerca dos Pomares
Wild plants are often called weeds, invasive plants, and in the eyes of many humans, they have little or no use. But they are essential for the soil, for insects, pollinators, birds, reptiles... they help maintain biodiversity, which is essential for us too. Many of these plants are edible, with high medicinal properties. Cooking with them is a journey that awakens the senses and gives a lot of energy not only to the physical body, but also to the emotional, energetic and spiritual body. Join us in this workshop where we will recognize, harvest, prepare and cook with wild plants.
