INTERSECTION RETREAT IN PERU
THE INTERSECTION JOURNEY
Intersection Retreat has been designed for those who desire to immerse themselves in the local traditions and culture, to embody and express who they are in an unfamiliar context through movement and art.
In the first 3 days we will be immersed in connection, exploration and liberation, nestled in the comfort of Pachamama Home, experiencing diverse activities of self expression, body wisdom, outdoor adventures and local cultural traditions that will open our hearts and minds to new ways of being.
We will then integrate during 4 days of hiking through the breathtaking landscapes of Colca Canyon, expanding our physical and spiritual bodies while soaked in nature
This adventure is an invitation for anyone who find their strength in the challenge and power in the action, to explore life through the lens of a different culture, to express, experience and embody who you are in an unfamiliar context and ini this way, liberate your soul from society's pressures.
Join us for an unforgettable experience you'll be proud of yourself you did!
