Activities
Freediving - Free Falling
Freediving is multidimensional. The goal of our team is to inspire you, to free dive for your physical, mental and spiritual evolution.
Freediving is a life-changing endeavour and will teach you about your false, perceived self-limitations and will open a whole new inner and outer world for you to explore.
Freediving is the ultimate and most faithful mirror of ourselves. Everything becomes amplified and clear.
Your shadows and fears, your sorrows and brightest lights, your courage and strength, your sensitivity and power, and your childlike playfulness. Water work is an initiation, a place for alchemy and of self-observation.
Stairway to Heaven
Stairway to Heaven is a two days journey thru the desert designed to provide participants with an authentic cultural experience in the serene environment of South of Sinai.
This activity aligns with the retreat’s purpose of fostering self-discovery, contemplation, rest, renewal, and deep healing through mindfulness practices and physical challenges.
An opportunity to engage with the local Bedouin culture, gaining insight into their traditions and way of life, which is characterised by strong communal ties and a deep connection with the natural environment.

Body Tensegrity
Everything in the body — bones, muscles, and connective tissues — works together seamlessly. Anatomical Trains (Body Meridians): These are highways of tension and energy flow, connecting different regions.
Body Tensegrity Sessions involve diagnostics, myofascial release, awareness development, load adaptation, alignment, and integration of healthy processes. Tensegrity revolutionizes therapy and well-being.
Tensegrity structures teach us about equilibrium and interconnectedness and allows us to view any dysfunction holistically. Rather than focusing solely on localized pain, it considers the entire system as interconnected and interdependent.
Nature loves tensegrity! Spider webs, cell cytoskeletons— they all follow this rule. Even our bodies! Bones, muscles, and connective tissues harmonize, creating a delicate equilibrium. It’s like a secret dance party inside us. Body Tensegrity teaches us about interconnectedness, balance, and the unseen forces shaping our existence.
Transformational Breath & TRE
Transformational Breath® correlates a person’s current breathing pattern with blockages in their body and mind.
This is a natural, safe and easy- to-learn way of breathing that has many benefits, including more energy, improved immune response and increased emotional resilience and ability to deal with stress.
It uses a full, relaxed, circular breathing pattern, in which the breather intentionally connects the inhale with the exhale, without any pauses.
TRE - This activity is included as a method to release stress, tension, and trauma through reflexive muscle vibrations, which can lead to sensations of peace and well-being.
