The Aruna Experience Summer Retreat - Portugal

The Aruna Summer Retreat: Portugal

With Nicki Forman | Hosted by Gary & Sandra Weberman

Step into five days of deep rest, renewal, and reconnection in the lush green embrace of Sintra’s summer. Surrounded by the natural beauty of Portugal’s forests, mountains, and ocean breeze, this retreat offers a unique opportunity to slow down, turn inward, and awaken to a more spacious, joyful way of being.

Through Aruna Yoga’s essential practices—including self-enquiry, self-regulation, emotional presence, TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises), conscious movement, meditation, breathwork, and creative expression—you will learn to meet life’s waves with grace and clarity.

Periods of gentle semi-silence will invite you to hear the quiet wisdom of your own heart, while guided movement and breath will reconnect you to your body’s natural rhythm and vitality. We will explore ancient yogic techniques, meditative practices, and the transformative power of art to process emotions, shift limiting patterns, and open to new perspectives.

It is a way to connect deeply with nature and immerse yourself in the beauty of the Portuguese landscape, allowing the rhythms of the earth to restore and inspire you.

This retreat is:

• A movement-based, deeply experiential journey into body awareness, emotional freedom, and creative expression.

• A chance to attune to the body’s innate intelligence and its profound healing capacity.

• An invitation to discover what is true for you now, to meet emotional fluctuations with presence, and to root into your own center.

Together, we will remember the impermanence of each moment, touch the quiet joy of simply being, and reconnect with the truth of who we are.

Let the summer light of Sintra, the beauty of House O’ Luv, and the shared space of this retreat nourish your body, mind, and spirit.
