37 trillion cells — breathing, pulsing, waiting to be felt. Five days to arrive in your body. Completely.

We spend most of our lives at the surface — skimming across sensation, thought, motion. This retreat is a descent. Into the body. Into the breath. Into the particular intelligence that lives below the thinking mind.

Set on Gili Meno — one of Indonesia's smallest and quietest atolls, car-free and unhurried — we spend five days learning to inhabit ourselves more fully. The sea is our teacher. The breath is our practice. The body is the whole curriculum.

Kike Benet, who built the maoMeno retreat center on this island, brings fifteen years of Embodied Flow™ practice together with his ongoing research into movement through water. This retreat exists at the intersection of those two inquiries.

— Morning: Pranayama, kriyas and Embodied Flow™ asana in the open-air shala

— Sea: Guided movement practice in the shallows and reef

— breathwork continues in the water

— Afternoon: Freediving introduction (optional) · workshops on cellular breathing theory and somatic awareness

— Evening: Fire gatherings, stargazing on the beach, integration and presence with the group

This is a small, intentional gathering — 12 people maximum — held at maoMeno, a retreat center built for exactly this kind of depth. Not a hotel. A practice space that happens to have beds. All activities are optional. You move at the pace that is yours. The island will do the rest.
