Growing Awareness Through Touch Retreat

Sobre este evento

A three-day immersive retreat exploring the art of conscious touch, body awareness, and somatic presence — set within Orto Creative Hub, 30 minutes from Porto.
Led by Pedro Lechuga-Farías and Joost van Veen, licensed shiatsu therapists, this retreat draws from Zen, Shiatsu, and Aikido to offer a grounded, embodied experience.
This retreat is open to anyone curious about bodywork, somatic practices, or simply exploring what it means to be more present in everyday life. No previous experience is required.
The retreat unfolds in a gentle rhythm of practice, rest, shared meals, and moments of silence, allowing learning and insight to emerge naturally. Through movement, touch, meditation, and embodied exercises, participants are invited to slow down, listen more deeply, and rediscover the wisdom of the body.
What to expect:
Morning movement & meditation · Shiatsu fundamentals · Partner touch practices · Shared organic meals · Quiet time in nature · Evening meditations
Participants can expect to leave with:

A deeper connection to their body and inner perception
A gentler and more conscious relationship with touch
Simple practices that can be integrated into daily life
A renewed sense of grounding, openness, and presence

No prior experience needed. Suitable for beginners and those with an existing body-based practice.
