✨The living heart ✨14 to 16 of August
A journey of sound, breath & sacred celebration
The Living Heart is a three-day, two-night immersion designed to reconnect you with yourself through breath, sound, movement, nature, and authentic human connection. Set in the peaceful surroundings of Casa Prema Retreat, this intimate weekend offers a space to slow down, recharge, and awaken the wisdom of the heart.
Throughout the retreat, you’ll experience guided meditation, conscious breathwork, immersive sound healing, mindful movement, and moments of rest and integration in nature.
At the heart of the experience is The Living Heart Ceremony—a powerful evening of ceremonial cacao, ecstatic movement, and hours of live music inspired by shamanic traditions, organic rhythms, and Middle Eastern melodies. More than a ceremony or a dance, it is an invitation to celebrate life, express yourself freely, and reconnect with the joy, presence, and aliveness that naturally emerge when the heart is open.
Whether you’re beginning your journey or deepening an existing practice, The Living Heart offers a welcoming space to breathe deeply, move authentically, and return home to yourself.
