Embodied TRANSFORMATION
LA GOMERA, 26.8. - 2.9.2023
A quest for women with Romana Tripolt
Embodied Transformation is the second of three, individually bookable journeys.
One cycle of three workshop lays already behind us and rich of experiences, impressions, transformations and lasting friendships we are looking forward to this new chapter and to the next three groups of communities of wonderful, brave women.
EMBODIED TRANSFORMATION
is specifically focused on the process of transformation that we willingly engage in with each 5Rhythms wave. The rhythm of "Chaos" in particular serves as our teacher.
It teaches us surrender, how to deal with the unpredictability of life, how to play with the threshold of ecstasy, learn to surpass it, and let go of control while our consciousness remains fully awake and our attention is fully present! The practice is to allow movements to arise and pass freely. Through this, we experience that the transformative wave of the 5Rhythms encompasses our entire being and reliably cleanses and strengthens us anew.
In addition, Integrative Embodied Therapy (IBT) assists us in the fine-tuning necessary to consciously change old dramatic and traumatic imprints and obstructive defense patterns. Allow the change you are currently seeking and have the autonomy to choose to dance it into your life in a very real way!
We will deal with these and many more questions for a week, dancing in a group of courageous women. With process-oriented individual work (IBT) in the group, we will face and transform obstacles that show themselves on our dancing path. This is how we learn to dance with shadow and light and to ride the inner dragon gracefully.
With the map of the 5 rhythms we arrive completely in the presence and align body, mind and emotion.
In Flowing we strengthen the motherly energies and nourish the unconditional love for life. Rooted feet dance freely on this earth.
In Staccato we learn to express ourselves and how to set and defend limits. We bring into life what is important to us. Fiery hips swinging in the rhythms of creativity and passion.
In Chaos we learn to master the unpredictable and to surrender to the waves of life. The head relaxes completely, old thoughts melt in the vibrations of the swirling spine.
In the rhythm of Lyrical we find and reinvent our dance again and again and become creators of our reality. The connection between heart and hands turns them into our magical tools. Shakti helps us to consciously shape life.
„Vulnerability is our most accurate measurement of courage.“
Brené Brown
Join a group of dedicated women for a week of moving, processing, dreaming, expressing, creating and integrating. Embraced by the raw beauty of the volcano island, the lush nature, the pounding waves, dancing dolphins, the beauty of the remote retreat center El Cabrito. Finally bringing back the transformative power, the treasures you’ll find on this journey to your live at home.
Digital detox experiment
The internet and phone connection on El Cabrito is very bad and vulnerable. We think this is the perfect condition for an experiment and we would like to invite you to try digital detoxing during your stay.
Why?
To be in the "here and now" with all your senses, to break habits, to try something unfamiliar, maybe to trick yourself and because of 1000 other reasons...
How to do that?
Inform your beloved ones, that for this week you will only be available in case of emergency through El Cabrito's office by phone or email. Bring an alarm clock with you! We will provide a camera you can use to make photos and we will send them to you afterwards.
We also offer you to take care of your mobile phone in the meantime.
Due to these circumstances a "digital time off" should be manageable, no?
If this experiment sounds pleasurable for you - please let us know!
Workshop Details
For all who already arrived at the finca Romana will offer a Welcome Wave on Saturday, August 26, 2023 at ~9pm. We will officially start our workshop in the morning on Sunday, 27th.
There will be 5 full retreat days with approximately 6 workshop hours and one optional excursion day.
We will dance in the mornings and in the evenings and there will be plenty of free beach time.
Our last session will be Friday evening, day of departure is Saturday, 2nd of September 2023.
Workshop language is depending on the needs of participants. German or English.
CO2₂ COMPENSATION
We are aware that flying is usually cited as the first major climate sin.
For this reason we would like to encourage you, that the amount of harmful CO₂ emitted during your air travel, is saved elsewhere.
The trip from Vienna to La Gomera emits 1,44Tn of CO₂ into the atmosphere. The emission will happen and will be bad for the environment. The good news: you can invest in a compensation project that works to ensure that the same amount of CO₂ is saved elsewhere.
The amount for this compensation is ~43 Euro.
We kindly ask you to make this payment e.g. to this project on La Gomera: Plántate Project
If you want to get into the theme deeper, we recommend the very informative website of Climate Austria.

TRAVEL
La Gomera has no international airport. Please book your flight to Tenerife, TFS (Tenerife South).
From the Airport to the Ferry terminal Los Cristianos it's 25 minutes by bus. Take the ferry to San Sebastian Harbour on La Gomera (45min.-1,5h). The hotel's own boat will bring you from there to El Cabrito (15min./7€)
We recommend to book your trip from the Airport to San Sebastian Muelle (and retour) with the company Autobuses MESA. The transfer takes around 2-3 hours and costs around 65€.
Ferries between Tenerife and La Gomera depart 2-3 times per day.
When you book your flight make sure to reach the ferry around midday.
For a stressless travel plan to have enough time between landing and ferry departure (around 2 hours). The same counts for your trip back home.
