What is it about?
It is an old way to find a new perspective for your life to acquire clarity that drives you in an authentic direction. An opportunity to leave behind ballast, concepts, ideas, attachments, old hurts, to empty yourself of everything.
It is a lapsus time that you give yourself space and the chance to reconnect with the divine, nature, heaven and earth, the elements, the sun, the moon...and so on. Listening to your inner divine Self.
It is a feedback, a time in which dreams speak to you, to reconfigure your present. It is a time to breathe, to be in the tranquility of the mountain, to feel the silence, the silence of everything so that in that emptiness you can hear the visions that nutren y hablan de tu verdad. It is a healing. The internal listening of the shaman that we all carry inside.
Many beautiful things can happen that blossom within you and the openess to the great doors of happiness, bringing grace and joy to your life, a better version of your reality.
Days of work on focusing, awakening, in transformation, will, empowerment, training.
