Public Saida of the Camarinha of EledaThis Gira is called a “saída” which refers to the closing ceremony of a day-long spiritual retreat. Saída means in Portuguese “exit” which indicates that one “exits” from the sacred space of the spitual retreat to re-enter into the profane world. During the saída, the public receives and welcomes back the retreat participants into the everyday world. Please join us in this special blessing.

Body-Dance-Nature-ArtThis workshop with Mirjam Krohne (dancer, storyteller and teacher) looks at the relationship between your body and the greater body - the earth. The exploration is done through guided visualization, movement, poetry, drawing, nature study and Goddess lore. In this journey you will experience an awakening of your body; to its possibilities and its healings as well as to your spirit's messages conveyed through your body.
