The Listening Body: Movement Retreat
Portugal Edition
Let the body yield to the sway of the Atlantic. Let the stones ground your step and the breeze carry your breath. Here, movement emerges not from effort, but from listening. The body unlearns its rush. Breath steadies. Muscles loosen. The senses reawaken.
This retreat is a remembering. A return to touch. To slowness. To presence
Offerings
Over seven days, between arrival and departure, we invite you into a sensorial and soulful journey. Guided by the elemental forces and the unique texture of the land, each moment invites listening - to your body, your surroundings and to sound as a collaborator.
Five Days of Immersive Retreat Experience rooted in movement, nature and presence. Each day begins and ends with body awakening and grounding practices, from gentle stretching to breath work to pilates. Daily sessions include dance classes, choreographic research and site-specific movement exploration led by Anthony Nakhlé and Nawal Youssifova. Expect spacious mornings to stretch and move, afternoons for exploration and creation and evenings that settle the body into stillness and reflection.
Creative Collaboration with Sound Artist Lorenzo (ATŌMI) through a live sound journey that evolves throughout the week. Each participant will have a one-on-one session with Lorenzo to co-create a personal sound composition, using field recordings, voice, movement and sonic textures. These individual pieces will become part of a collective archive - a shared resonance of the retreat.
