Dear One, a most heartfelt welcome to Red Earth.  

It would be a great pleasure to share a retreat with you and wish you the most beautiful time in choosing and planning your visit. 

 

A retreat is a much-needed break from daily responsibility and routine, a time to turn inward, reflect and become conscious of what is truly important to you . Our co-created vision for Red Earth has created a safe, supportive environment a sacred cocoon in which practitioners of 5 Rhythms Dance, Spiritual Inquiry and other ecstatic dance and meditation practices and those who have never danced or meditated before can meet and merge to explore the rich bounty of their most fundamental and sacred self through dance, and self-inquiry. The Sanctuary with its tranquil setting provides a nourishing environment for a deeper, undisturbed and undistracted human core experience,  and recognision of the true self.

 

Rio Seco threads through Red Earth and is home to many beautiful creatures



if you are drawn to the discovery of what happiness is, the true fragrance of compassion, joy,  and peace. If you are curious about life, and seeking answers to life questions,   "Who am I"  "What's my life all about" "Is this all there is" then you are on a Spiritual Quest, a path of discovery and adventure and a retreat draws answers to these sacred questions by, offering you an opportunity to turn away from the mundane world of linear time and experience the dreamlike reality of the universe as a timeless ongoing work of art and you the creative soul  through which the revelation of the universe becomes and moves towards the timeless dimension of simply "being".

The joy of "beingness" suffuses our inner and outer atmosphere with a sense of spaciousness, balance, harmony, joy, peace, and healing inside

          The sacred intent for all exploration, and activity here, whether dancing,         swimming, resting,  meditating, sharing, laughing, feasting, is to bring courage, hope, support, strength, and joy on the eternal quest with- in  for liberation, freedom, wisdom, understanding, and love.

 Daily Ritual

 

Sitting in the magic of silence

 

Part of our daily ritual will be spent in the alchemy of silence:

Silence nourishes and is a profound teacher that invites you to move into your inner core and discover its inherent natural peace,  tranquility, wisdom, clarity and joy that rises from its depth: Once the intelligence of this inner stillness is recognised we understand  all that is real and true arises from  this deep vast ocean of spaciousness: In the silence we discover a deep connectedness to life to one another, and realize we are not as separate as we thought. The peaceful warmth of silence supports our recognition of true stillness and authentic movement. 

 

 

 

 Daily Schedule

        Leisurely Breakfast of sumptuous organic seasonal fruits, muesli, yogurt,       homemade bread, eggs, jams, marmalade, honey, all organic:

This is followed by a period of silence, with time to swim, rest in the sun, walk, and simply just "be". Time flows timelessly, seamlessly flowing into our morning session held in the beautiful studio, and lasts till it ends;

Lunch is served alfresco under the silent gaze of the mountains

   The afternoon is siesta time, giving you the space to rest and integrate before the start of our evening session at Sunset. The ending of which guides us towards a glass of wine and a delicious freshly prepared feast sourced from the finest seasonal produce organically grown and lovingly served.

 Andalucia is blessed with simple, fresh seasonal abundance
