Think of your body as a house, a reservoir of your energy. Often, we find ourselves giving away too much of this energy—to our families, partners, work, or children. Sometimes, unexpected challenges like illness, separation, or significant life changes drain us completely. At first, this might leave us feeling frustrated, asking ourselves: How did this happen? Why me? What did I do wrong? In blaming ourselves, we exhaust the last remnants of our energy, diminishing our confidence and self-worth. This is usually when we hit rock bottom and realize that something needs to change. Does this sound familiar?
The Powerhouse Series offers tools to help you rise above these challenges and become your own Power House.
We’ll start by releasing all the frustration, anger, and sadness to establish a neutral foundation—the ground floor of your Power House. Next, we’ll focus on regaining your strength, building the first floor. Finally, we’ll work on maintaining your energy and setting boundaries—this is the roof, designed to protect and preserve your energy.
During the retreat, you’ll uncover where your energy goes, what depletes it, and what replenishes it, helping you find the right balance. You’ll delve deep into bodily sensations and breathwork, while also transforming your mindset. Casa de Volta, the retreat house, offers a magical setting, perfect for this profound inner work. Far removed from the distractions of daily life, you’ll be surrounded by the serenity of nature.
