Spirit of the Andes - Yoga Retreat in Peru 2023
13 - 21 October 2023
With Fabio & Natalia
|
Join Fabio and Natalia on this magical journey in the heart of the Sacred Valley in Peru. An immersion in Nature like no other, where for millennia, Mother Earth has been revered as Pachamama. On this land so lush and rich, you can deeply rest, breathe in the energies of the majestic peaks of the Andes. We will be staying in a Steiner inspired creative traditional community in the small town of Andahuaylillas, a social project that gives the local Quechua women an opportunity to use their artistic skills in doll making as a means of livelihood, while their children attend the little school on site. During our stay here, we will explore the surrounding villages and markets, do creative exercises, visit sacred sites and attend cultural programs. |

For the more adventurous spirits, we offer you the option of a 2 night, 3 day full service trek through the picturesque and pristine trails of the ancient Incas. Here too, you will be accompanied at every step by highly professional guides, porters, and chefs so your every need will be taken care of and all you need do is walk with your day pack amidst breathtaking vistas, meet the local indigenous peasant communities, bask in the elements, and enjoy freshly prepared delicious vegetarian food and a perfectly comfortable campsite already set up, waiting for you at each stop.
We will end our retreat in the most spectacular retreat centre and stunning gardens in the Sacred Valley, where we can gather as a group, do circle work, have some free time to enjoy the simple pleasures, and have spa treatments too.
Each day of this retreat will begin and end with Yoga classes and healing Meditations, and some circle work.
This trip is designed for the utmost comfort and charm, for a small number of people only. Children and families are welcome, though we do ask parents not to bring them to our sharing circle in the evenings. For further details and arrangements, please talk to Natalia directly.
Please note on days 4 and 5, this retreat offers two options: either Trekking or Cultural, only the latter includes a day trip via train to the ancient citadel of Machu Picchu. At the time of your booking, please let us know which option you would like so that we can make these arrangements as soon as possible as entry tickets are very limited on each day.
We will be holding an Information Session on Saturday 29th April, at 16h. For enquiries and bookings, please contact Natalia via email and see below for payment options.
A detailed itinerary and packing list will be sent out to interested participants, upon a booking deposit.
