About this Retreat
Eva Machado is a psychologist and axiology practitioner whose work focuses on perception, value orientation, and inner clarity. She integrates psychological insight with axiological frameworks, including the Hartman Value Profile, to support individuals in developing discernment, coherence, and conscious decision-making.
Her approach is grounded in careful attention to inner experience, ethical reflection, and the relationship between perception, value, and action. Rather than offering solutions or techniques, Eva creates structured spaces for inquiry where participants can observe how they perceive, choose, and relate — both internally and in the world.
Eva’s work is characterized by depth, precision, and respect for the individual process. In her retreats, she facilitates environments of silence, attention, and reflection, supporting participants in reconnecting with their own criteria, values, and inner honesty.
She is the creator and lead facilitator of The Deep Work Retreats, where psychology, axiology, embodiment, and territory come together as a living context for presence and inner work.

Details of this retreat
The Body as a Territory of Values
Yoga, Mindfulness and Axiology Retreat
February 19–22, 2026 · Tenerife, Canary Islands
Overview
The Body as a Territory of Values is a 4-day immersive retreat designed for people seeking clarity, presence, and ethical grounding through embodied practice.
This retreat integrates NexoYoga, neuroscience-based mindfulness, and axiology (the science of human values) to explore how attention, perception, and values shape the way we inhabit our bodies and make decisions.
Set by the Atlantic Ocean in Tenerife, the retreat offers a calm, structured environment to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with what truly matters — not as an abstract idea, but as a lived, embodied experience.
This is not a fitness retreat, nor a spiritual escape.
It is an educational and experiential process grounded in scientific inquiry, embodied awareness, and ethical reflection.
What makes this retreat unique
Yoga as a foundation for perception, not performance
Mindfulness informed by neuroscience, focused on attention regulation and interoception
Axiology (Hartman Value Profile) as a tool for ethical clarity and self-understanding
Small group format to preserve depth and quality
Non-clinical, non-therapeutic approach, suitable for professionals and experienced practitioners
Atlantic natural environment supporting nervous system regulation and presence
Practices & Methodology
NexoYoga (morning sessions)
Led by José Cao, NexoYoga emphasizes:
structural alignment and precision
conscious use of breath
stability and support
postural awareness
embodied attention
Morning practices prepare the body and nervous system for deeper perceptual and reflective work later in the day.
Contemplative practice (mornings)
Each morning closes with guided contemplative practice to integrate movement into stillness and cultivate sustained attention.
Neuroscience-based mindfulness (afternoons)
Afternoon sessions, guided by Eva Machado, focus on:
attention regulation
interoceptive awareness
emotional perception
cognitive clarity
embodied presence
Theoretical material is kept minimal during sessions and provided as optional reading after the retreat.
Axiology & Values Inquiry (afternoons)
Participants explore their Hartman Value Profile in a group setting through:
guided reflection
ethical dialogue
perceptual inquiry
shared observation
This process supports greater clarity around personal values, habitual patterns, and decision-making tendencies.
Daily Rhythm
08:00–13:00 · Yoga, contemplative practice, and embodied integration
13:00–17:00 · Rest, meals, optional massage
17:00–21:00 · Mindfulness, values inquiry, group dialogue, journaling, silence
One afternoon includes a guided contemplative walk to the ocean at sunset, integrating movement, silence, and reflection.
Who this retreat is for
This retreat is suitable for:
yoga practitioners seeking depth beyond technique
professionals experiencing decision fatigue or attentional overload
people interested in values, ethics, and embodied awareness
psychologists, coaches, health professionals, educators
