Unveiling the Silent Poem: A journey within

Retreat in Portugal at Slow, Art of Living (Vila Viçosa, Alentejo)

As many of Sky’s students know, Poetry is part of his world as he often shares the pearls of his writtings in his classes. This retreat is designed to help participants journey into their subconscious and access their creativity, through the practice of yoga, meditation, pranayama, poetry writing/reading and journaling.

Practicing stillness, silence, breath, and reflective writing, the retreat will guide participants to uncover the quiet often hidden layers of their inner world— magically unveiling the poetry that resides within.

In the quiet spaces of our lives lies an untapped reservoir of creativity, truth, and self-expression. “Unveiling the Silent Poem: A Journey Within” is an immersive 5-day retreat designed to guide you into these hidden depths, where the silent poetry of your soul resides. Embrace this journey of stillness and self-discovery, where movement meets mindfulness, and your creativity is set free.

This Retreat is a beautiful opportunity to explore a lesser-known gift of Sky to craft beautiful, evocative poems, which he shares spontaneously in his classes. His poetry has a way of weaving magic into the practice, offering students a rare glimpse into the deeper layers of self-expression and inner truth. This retreat is a unique opportunity to work with Sky, as it celebrates the integration of movement, breath, and creative expression—an experience not to be missed for those seeking to explore and honor their inner voice.

This retreat will have guided meditations and expressive reflective/writing /creative sessions, by Leonor offering essential tools for self-discovery and inner healing. By incorporating different writing approaches, she will create a safe and nurturing environment where participants can connect with their authentic selves, explore their inner worlds, process emotions, and unlock creativity. This unique combination of mindfulness and writing fosters personal growth, deeper self-awareness, and a profound sense of empowerment.

Leonor Levy, founder of the Slow project and a yoga teacher certified by the Sama Yoga School of Yoga - Bali/Sweden since 2013, is also a guide of the Write Your Self method. This method supports individuals in reclaiming their voice and choice through the transformative power of writing their own stories.
