This autumn’s retreat
THE SPACE BETWEEN
20 – 22 Nov 2026
Slow down. Feel more. Reconnect.
A retreat in movement, stillness & subtle perception.
Everything shifts in the space between.
THE INVITATION
There is a subtle space that exists between things.
Between inhale and exhale.
Between movement and stillness.
Between sound and silence.
Between yourself and the world.
This retreat explores that space —
not as an idea, but as a lived experience.
A place where perception refines
and the body remembers how to listen again.
Between stimulus and response, there is a space.
And in that space, something softens.
Over three days, we slow down and explore this subtle territory together.
Through movement, stillness, breath, sound, and time in nature,
we begin to sense what exists between experiences —
the pauses that allow integration, clarity and renewal.
This is an invitation to step out of habitual momentum
and into a slower rhythm of attention.
To refine perception.
To regulate the nervous system.
To return to the quiet intelligence of the sensing body.

“Andre, your guidance was both powerful and gentle, and I’m deeply grateful for the way you gave everything so that we could simply receive. You have my full admiration. Celebrating my birthday with you and the borboletas coloridas felt like a true blessing”
