☘️ Gurdjieff sacred dances retreat ☘️
October 4th-10th, 2025
In Mata House, central Portugal

“It is only by grounding our awareness in the living sensation of our bodies that the ‘I Am,’ our real presence, can awaken.”- G. I. Gurdjieff

The sacred dances are a form of active meditation, designed to progressively take us beyond our normal 'self' and access a deeper quality of our being : our Essence.
Each dance, combined with music composed specifically for this purpose, carries a specific frequency that resonates in the body, mind and heart. Some dances are fast and full of fire, some are soft and flowing, and others are prayerful and quiet. Each dance invites us to experience a different quality, a different side in ourselves. Each dance offers a different way of Being.

The Gurdjieff path is a complete system, with dances, philosophy, cosmology, and various meditations. As we practice, we experience ourselves as we really are. Directly, immediately, without judgement, simply seeing: this is me, this is who I am, right now. And by seeing ourselves, we gradually step towards what we wish to be.

🌿 Work-Study Volunteering in Mata House 🌿

What have we been doing these past 3 weeks?

In the mornings we meditate. In the afternoons we take long walks, we spend time in the pool, we learn together, we share, or we practice the Sufi movements. Sometimes we just put on some music and dance. We are discovering how to live together in harmony, connection and joy.

During the day we work. We're renovating the studio, keeping the garden, planting, cleaning and painting the house, we're building new beds for the dorm. Every day there's a new surprise from the kitchen.
Mona, our resident 8 year old, doesn't let us be too serious and keeps the spirit of sillyness alive. Her short has become our motto (see picture :) ).

Sometimes we just have a relaxed evening and watch a movie together ("The boy and the heron" - recommended!)

So much gratitude for this group. So much acceptance and new experiences; and hard work too!
Soon some people are leaving and we're looking for others who wish to join this summer

Mata house is a place for awareness, community, nature and art. Central Portugal.
