This brand new residential immersion is an invitation to journey into the depths of your Untamed Heart.
Through a series of solo explorations, partnered processes, guided practices and somatic movement we will work with your constrictions, wounds and contractions to step into the expansive and fulfilled life that is your birthright.
Whether you desire to engage more deeply with your life’s purpose, gain courage and clarity to follow the yearning of your heart, create exciting intimacy and erotic play, or reclaim health, vitality, creativity and abundance this immersion is for you.
Michaela will guide you to identify inherited patterns from your upbringing, beliefs and imprints from previous relationships and unconscious limiting assumptions you have about yourself. Then you will learn how these affect your life, shape your nervous system, and limit the expressions of your body.
These imprints profoundly influence our life trajectory – including how we make a living, whom we choose as partners, how we behave relationally and sexually, and the strategies we use to cope when life gets tough.
This immersion offers a methodical mental, emotional and somatic excavation of these imprints. From there you will learn how to create new, positive imprint blueprints that code your nervous system to receive what you truly desire. You will be supported and empowered by practices that reshape, release and reclaim your ability to live the liberated, expanded and joyous expression of who you truly are.
Regardless if you are looking to deepen your own embodied expression, want to connect deeper with a chosen partner or are looking for a new intimacy, this immersion clears unconscious patterns and empowers you to create a solid foundation from which to receive and offer with sovereignty and an open heart.
You will experience the latest cutting edge developments and refinements of this work. These are the result of Michaela’s many decades of personal and professional explorations and offer a unique blend of psychological, archetypal, somatic and shamanic processes.
Among the new methods you will experience is Michaela’s newly designed system of teaching relational skills and tools through archetypes and flavors. These new practices reveal your projections and shadows and offer you distinct embodied tools and skills in a fun and engaging format.
This immersion contains 4 distinct components which are layered to allow for optimal learning, balanced expansion, sustainable re-patterning and profound nervous system regulation.
Our father and mother lineages stretch back over generations. We carry the imprint of their trials, traumas, triumphs and joys deep in our bodies.
Many of our behavior patterns and attitudes in relationship to wealth, family, sustenance, and tribe are formed by the imprints of our lineage. Even if we examine them cognitively in therapy, they often remain deeply ingrained in our nervous system and bodies, driving our decisions and behaviors.
Through a series of considerations, somatic explorations and powerful shamanic engagement you will embody, explore and release your energetic and familial imprints, connect with, and liberate your ancestral and relational patterns for the benefit of all beings.
You will unlock the power of your line, clear away the blocks of inheritance, and open the possibility of freedom for you, your family and your relationships.
You will engage in potent somatic and ritual processes to release old beliefs and patterns and learn how to actively call in new behaviors and ways of being.
In addition to the imprints of our upbringing we also hold beliefs and patterns that have formed in previous relationships.These relational bodily imprints influence those who we choose as partners, how we engage in relationship with them,and how we perceive ourselves in the world.
In this retreat you will learn how to actively clear and re-shape the imprints of former lovers in order to open your body to attract deeper devotional relationships.
You will engage with assumptions you have about yourself and learn how these shape your nervous system and limit your bodily freedom.
You will engage in potent somatic explorations to release old beliefs and free the body for greater availability.
How do you step into life from a place of freedom and open hearted choice? Why do so many attempts to create positive change and live more fully run into inner blocks and resistance and outer obstacles and setbacks?
Your gifts and talents are often hidden behind your contractions and old imprints. Once you are able to expand beyond those patterns and implement new ones, you will be able to discern your authentic offerings (vs. unexamined behaviors) as well as what you are attracted to, both in a partner and in your wider life.
You will engage with a wide variety of archetypes and flavors as a means of learning new skills, identify and discern honest expression and attraction. You will expand your unique embodied offering and explore the depth of your heart.
This event is designed especially for the environment of Monte da Orada.
We have exclusive use of the space and the practices are supported by the wild nature and peaceful surroundings. You will be doing solo explorations, talk processes and somatic movement in addition to partnered work. We welcome women and men, singles and in relationship. This is not a gender balanced event and you do not need a partner. If you are attending by yourself, you will be relating with many individuals for the sake of practice. If you are attending with a partner you have the choice of remaining paired for the partnered exercises throughout the event.
