About this Retreat
Catarina is a classically trained singer who has been exploring mindfulness through sound, breath, and movement over the past 3 years. Catarina is also a Yoga and Pranayama instructor, as well as a Sound Healer. She holds regular Yoga classes, Soundbaths and Kirtan sessions in various studios around London.
Her passion is blending wisdom from different cultures, using various practices and techniques. Catarina is a curious soul, always eager to travel, listen and learn from different perspectives.
Catarina’s work also includes Music in Community, using singing and chanting to better people’s mental and physical health, aiming to improve their quality of life. In the future, Catarina would like to explore music and health more in-depth, focusing on people with disabilities and dementia.
She has worked with world leaders in the fields of Opera performance, Music Therapy, Yoga, Kirtan, Sound Healing, Meditation and Breathwork.
Born and raised in Hackney, Alex has been around music from all over the world since a young age. After first picking the clarinet at 6 years old and the saxophone at 12, Alex went on to graduate from Trinity Laban Conservatoire. He is currently playing music from varied and rich cultures in bands with musicians from Ghana, India, and South America. Each of these projects continue to inspire and humble him on a daily basis, heavily influencing his own work in his band: “In the name of Ra”.
In the Sound Healing sessions, Alex plays the Native American Peruvian flute, as well as saxophone and drums during Chanting and bass clarinet during Live Music Yoga and Meditation classes.
Details of this retreat
Vibrational Empowerment Retreat
Everything is motion and motion is vibration. Even in stillness, our heart is still beating, our lungs still breathing. In this retreat we are going to deepen our connection with our Selves through sound, movement and breath. It will be an empowering week to help you reclaim your own strength and setting your boundaries.
Duration: 5 nights, 6 Days
Arrival: Monday 2nd September 2024
Departure: Saturday 7th September 2024
Host: Caterina & Alex
Contact Hours: approx 20 hours
Experience: Beginner
Ideal For: Releasing stagnant energy. Healing through breath work. Disconnecting from our fast paced world.
Capacity: 7 Guests
The Benefits & Intended Outcomes Of This Retreat
Everything is motion and motion is vibration. Even in stillness, our heart is still beating, our lungs still breathing. In this retreat we are going to deepen our connection with our Selves through sound, movement and breath. It will be an empowering week to help you reclaim your own strength and setting your boundaries.
Our bodies hold memories, stories, and unexpressed emotions, which can lead to having stagnant energy stuck within. In this retreat, we will be giving an opportunity for the body to release any heavy energy that has been weighing us down to be transformed.
Through movement, we start clearing up the energetic channels (Nadis); through Pranayama and breathwork we start filling up our body with our life-energy and resetting the Nervous System. Through Sound healing we will be moving and removing stagnant energy from the body. Through Chanting we will be connecting to our inner vibration and our heart, as well as connecting to the group as we all become One voice. No separation. Coming back to feeling, coming back to union.
Catarina holds a safe space for deep listening. Turning our focus inwards and listening to what our bodies are trying to tell us. Slowing down to witness and observe, rather than impulsively reacting.
We live in a fast paced, virtual world and it’s so easy to become disconnected from our bodies and from each other. This is an opportunity to dig deep and develop a loving relationship with the Self, embracing your voice and your body.
