Freedom - Retreat at Platres

Chakradance - heal your mind, body and soul

Get away retreat at Troodos Mountains - Platres

If you feel that you need to get away from everything and create space and time for your self, then this is a retreat for you.

Being in your busy routine some times is so difficult to be able to find the balance and allow your self to relax, feel safe and calm. Then you get your self in the pattern of being always tired and upset. Or you find it difficult for you to find meaning and allow your self to enjoy and feel happy.

In our retreats, we create the space to allow you to get away from everything and find the peace that you are looking for. We create space for your thoughts to slow down, the body to release stress and tension and for your energy to release heaviness of emotions.

By allowing your self to come back to your center, then you can easily expand your energy so you can bring positive thoughts and feelings in your life. Also to find your inner power and courage to change your life the way that you really want it.

This is a Chakradance retreat! In which we are going to work through our main energy centers (the 7 chakras) to help your release all that do not serve you any more and find the balance that you have being looking for!

What is Chakradance

Chakradance is a moving healing modality. It is a deep healing and transformational journey with long lasting results.

It works with the philosophy of Chakras - energy centers in you body - that each one affects who you truly are, holding specific traits and affecting different parts of your life. Each one works perfectly to give you a beautiful life experience, to keep your body healthy, provide you all that you need to walk the path of you life. This is happening when there is free flow of energy through the chakras.

However, things happen in our life that create traumas, pain and fears that sometimes we do not have the time, support or tools to process them properly. These create emotions and thoughts that get stuck on our energy center and do not allow the energy to flow freely within each chakra and between them.

You can feel this blockage when you feel too emotional, confused, tires, full of stress and fears, when you experience sadness, anxiety and heaviness in your life, when you feel pain and tension in your body, when your body starts reacting by showing physical symptoms. You may experience all these, some of these or even more than these, when there are blockages within your chakras system.

How does Chakadance work

Over the three days of the retreat, you will experience 9 sessions of the Chakradance workshop. The first session will be an introduction to all 7 chakras, the next 7 sessions will be a session for each of the main 7 chakras and the last one is an integration session.

Movement

The movement in the sessions its just your own spontaneous movement with the eyes closed - as a moving mediation.

Music

The music used has been created specifically to resonate with each of your chakras to help in the healing process .

Guided visualization

You will be guided in a visualization that will help you to connect with each chakra's energy, elements and symbolizations.

Mandala art

Express your experience in an art work, for your reflection and integration but also for further healing and guidance.
