Beira Mar - Event Space

​Our program is at Beira Mar, the cultural and event centre in Gamboa. This is a community centre, rather than a typical retreat space. Beira Mar is used by local community members for various events, activities, and programs throughout the year.

 

We are grateful to be welcomed so graciously into this community for our ten immersive days together.

Natural Environment

An essential aspect of the experience of Sensing Bodies is connecting with the natural world that surrounds us in all directions.

Sand dunes, waves, trees, flowers, rain, sunsets - everything around us is vibrantly alive and nourishes us.

We soften into our felt senses, smelling, tasting, seeing, hearing, feeling and experiencing the world around us.
