Your inner sanctuary is whispering.
Will you feel?
LET it UNFOLD.
THE WISPER .
grounded . expansive . attuned
“When you rest, the earth holds you. When you breathe, the sky responds.
When you listen, your body speaks.”
*
After the fire, comes the hush.
A softer invitation — to release the tension, slow the pace, and remember the wisdom of simplicity.
Inner Temple is not a reset.
It’s a reconnection — to your body as sacred ground, your food as ritual, your life as an art form.
We explore movement with grace, nourishment with intention, and breath as a thread back to self.
We walk barefoot. We eat with presence. We listen to the wind.
We remember how to receive.
*
THE OFFER.
Inner Temple is an invitation to step away from the noise of the outer world and enter the sacred sanctuary within.
Over five nurturing days, we will gather in presence and reciprocity—with the ground beneath us, the fruits of the earth, the vast sky above and the wise voice of our own bodies.
*
During this experience, these soft deep streams merge and become one:
Gentle Yoga, Somatics & Breathwork
to soothe the nervous system and root in presence
Conscious Cooking Workshops
with Chef Marta—food as story, healing, celebration
Elemental Rituals reconnecting with
earth, air, fire, water through embodied practice
Journaling, silence, and restorative space
because slowing is transformation
*
“This is not a retreat of striving, but of allowing -
of being held, met, and heard exactly as you are.”
“In the Inner Temple, rest roots, breath expands, listening reveals home.”
THE GIFT .
Inner Temple, is crafted especially for the person who:
Carries soul-deep exhaustion or nervous system fatigue and longs for gentle, embodied restoration
Has given so much and now quietly longs to receive softening into rest and ease
Hungers for pleasure, creative flow, sensuality, and joy as true healing
Seeks deeper aliveness and presence in the body, daily rhythms, and life itself
Feels called to slow, intuitive renewal - honoring personal cycles, emotional wisdom, and quiet coming home
If these words touch a tender place in you or bring a soft sigh of recognition, this space is already holding you with care.
Here, rest becomes deep regulation, breath opens wide possibility, and listening inward reveals the sanctuary you’ve always carried.
You are worthy of this gentle return—to joy, to rhythm, to yourself. Come as you are; the temple within welcomes you with open arms.
“Discover that softness is your deepest strength—come rest, breathe, and listen to your peaceful inner sanctuary.”

I am GIULIA, a Brazilian yoga teacher, breathwork coach and Budokon ambassador.
With blazing enthusiasm, I guide fluid, adventurous movement—interweaving mindful posture, dynamic breathwork, rhythmic somatics, and indomitable warrior strength to liberate the fierce, luminous power within you.
“The way you move reshapes the way you live.”

I am KERSTIN, a heartfelt Yoga-Energy-Spirit guide dedicated to healing and awakening.

“ Your energetic signature designs your path as the energy you carry shapes your world.”
During the retreat
MARTA the soul of Malina M
will guide us into a quiet, soulful alchemy:
turning the season’s freshest gifts—sun-warmed herbs, market jewels, and her quietly masterful seasoning—into vibrant, mostly plant-centered dishes that whisper French elegance and Italian heart.
Her deepest joy is:
creating food that slows time, awakens the senses, and gently binds us together.
In small, hands-on cooking gatherings we’ll roll up our sleeves side by side—playing with pairings, co-creating simple yet luminous meals, and letting shared creativity deepen our connection.
Come let Marta’s gentle firelight warmth and artistry nourish body, spirit, and circle.
Taste the magic of pure soul food .

This retreat is for you if you are open to conscious, powerful bodywork that awakens deep somatic intelligence and releases what the mind alone cannot reach.
Ideal if you are seeking profound emotional and energetic transformation — ready to meet, feel, and alchemize the layers that keep your light contained.
Perfect for those who long to cultivate more embodied strength, clarity, and inner freedom — stepping into a fuller, unapologetic presence in body, heart, and soul.
Designed for souls willing to consciously feel their emotions, open vulnerably in a small, safe group, and engage in intensive, authentic inner work without masks.
A sacred space for people who want to move differently, feel deeply, and reconnect authentically — rediscovering the quiet fire that knows you were born for more than just holding it together.
-
Through this intentional blend of practices, the retreat invites you to:
Budokon Yoga & Primal Movement * Precision, fluidity, and physical intelligence awaken your body — building strength, grace, and primal vitality.
Breathwork Journeys * Unlock emotions. Expand your capacity. Breathe into your truth — releasing what no longer serves and opening new dimensions of aliveness.
Energy Healing & Chakra Work * Reconnect with subtle power and clear emotional imprints — restoring balance, vitality, and inner light.
Somatic Rituals & Journaling * Turn sensation into awareness. Thought into integration — tracking the body’s wisdom for lasting transformation.
Group Circles & Deep Listening* Share, reflect, and be witnessed — without fixing or hiding — in a container of authentic connection and support.
This is an initiation: a call to embody courage, compassion, and clarity. Rise as the Warrior of Light you were always meant to be.
Join us. Breathe deep. Move freely. Heal wholly. Shine brightly.
