The Nature Journey 2020 started 22 September 2020 at the Atelier of Healing Arts on the beautiful land of ‘Vale bacias’, very close to Colos and Tamera, in the Alentejo region. This is a unique place on earth with indigenous vegetation like magnificient cork oaks and typical medronho bushes. We were touched by the sacredness of this land.

Our dance space, wooden yurt
Our host Lika has initiated this project and is deeply connected to this land. We camped in tents on the beautiful hills, had evenings in a covered dance space and danced on the grandmother tree. Lika opened the Atelier of healing arts for us, and Noëlia cooked for us fantastic ‘sattvic’ tasty food.

Four days later, we continued the journey, changed landscape and energy, and went to a site initiated by our second host Maurizio, and a rented house nearby. This site is directly by the sea, between Aljezur and Odeceixe.
