Sao Miguel - Azores Islands

An Intimate Boutique Journey in the Azores
With Lee Ziv and Shira Maim Haim

“Dreaming Water” invites us on an intimate boutique journey to one of the most magical places in the world.
Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean lies a hidden archipelago,
with volcanic mountains, lakes in shades of green and blue,
thermal phenomena, natural hot springs, bubbling waters rising from deep
within the earth, enchanted green forests,
an ocean full of dolphins and whales, quaint picturesque villages, and breath-taking landscapes unique to these islands.

In this legendary place, dreams become reality and reality becomes a dream,
as water flows everywhere.
Imagine immersing yourself in a natural hot spring, surrounded by stunning nature at dusk, with gentle rain falling from the sky.
Picture a quiet walk inside the crater of an ancient volcano, as you wonder –
is this a dream or reality?

We live in challenging times, as the systems we have long relied
on are shifting before our eyes.
This intimate journey invites us to pause, breathe, and reflect on the unfolding world.
Searching for meaning with courage, open hearts, and renewed hope.
perhaps we may even dare to dream a new dream, one that carries the seeds
of a better world for all of us.

During the journey, Shira will guide unique encounters in the island's thermal hot springs.
We will dive into deep inner work, both individually and together, experiencing Watsu treatments in natural waters. These sessions will allow us to connect with the present moment and discover the healing power of water.

Lee will lead us in day and night dreamwork, with in‑depth exploration of dream practices and attentive listening to the dreaming earth and waters of the island.
We will connect through sharing circles, personal and group practices, creativity, silence, writing, and simple, grounded presence.

In our time together, we will embark on a powerful collective journey,
with explorations in wild nature, water and dream ceremonies, and spacious moments
for both inner and collective reflection.
​
We will meet on the island in March, at the beginning of spring.
Our journey may be both wet and sunny, with refreshing rains and gentle winds,
while temperatures remain mild and comfortable - Mother Earth in all her glory.

The main reason for choosing this season is the quality of the hot springs.
The depth of night and dream experiences, and with fewer tourists on the island,
we are able to dive more deeply into intimacy, magic, and mystery.

We chose our home and local restaurants in connection with the
authentic Portuguese culture of the islands, in harmony with the land and local rhythms.

The healthy meals at our guesthouse, will be prepared by a chef who lives on the island
and will cook for us a rich and diverse local menu,
alongside visits to surprising local restaurants.
