The perfect winter yoga holiday
with Kate McKenzie
A wonderful opportunity to take some luxurious time for yourself, to restore and nourish mind, body and soul and prepare for the year ahead in the truly healing environment of La Finca. The morning class will gently open the body and attune the mind to the breath, the class will slowly move and build into a flowing and dynamic sequence, always incorporating the cultivation of awareness, physical alignment, breath and the chakras (energy centers). The afternoon sessions will take us deeper into the chakra system as a means of recognizing our gifts and shadows. This awareness will support our Sankalpa – the setting of an intention for the year ahead. Through powerful kundalini kriyas, chanting, meditation and guided rest, we will hear the true messages of our hearts, light up our intuition, and ignite the fire in our bellies, ready for action.

Selflove – Yoga – Awareness
with Sandra Bohnenpoll

Two sessions of yoga practice, Yin and Yang, await you every day whilst you will be accompanied in a loving way. The Yin postures allow you to find deep relaxation, the yang postures again and again to come into all your strength.
In addition to yoga and body awareness, the focus of this wonderful week is on self-love.
Questions that often arise during this particular practice are:
– Where am I now?
– What are my needs?
– Where do I want to go?
In mindful awareness work you learn to take care of yourself and you will get enough space and time to empathize with yourself.

Libido Fundamentals
Open Floor Movement workshop with Jonas Klingberg
CANCELED DUE TO COVID-19
“Libido is appetite in its’ natural state” – Carl Jung
Libido is an essential part of our body’s natural expression. Complicated one moment, ecstatic the next, absent or burdened with expectations of past experiences, this energy within and between us comes to the dance longing for freedom.
The intention in Open Floor Movement practice is to mindfully support our full embodiment. It is often challenging to navigate our own experiences of life force/sexual energy.
Libido Fundamentals investigates this complex and creative mystery by using movement to ground, build and explore our sexual energy. We embrace a wider definition of Libido as life force, birth place of creativity, vitality, presence and aliveness. Because the sexual energy is so often unconsciously acted out or ignored, the exploration of this territory tends to be intense, intimate, liberating and empowering.
All genders and sexual orientations are welcome. Welcome solo or in relationship. Nudity is not part of this workshop. Some prior experience of Open Floor or other conscious dance practice is required.
Jonas Klingberg is an Open Floor movement teacher, and has been in apprenticeship with Andrea Juhan for several years to qualify to teach this work. He is also an accredited 5Rhythms® teacher by Gabrielle Roth since 2005. I have a M.A. in social & education science, certified massage therapist and studies in dance therapy.

Yoga and Hiking – embody your presence
with Daniel Studhalter & Verena Amrein
CANCELED DUE TO COVID-19
Through Yoga and mindful hiking you can experience how it feels to stand for yourself, walk your talk, to truly be your Self. Your body wants to know. It is important, what you think who you are, whom you embody. You are important. You will get impulses to feel alive. The wild and magic island of la Gomera offers the ground for that. Our simple or medium hikes will lead us through the beautiful Valle of the Kings, to the top of the colorful mountain, through the mystic rain forest and to hidden waterfalls. You will enjoy nature and sense your own nature. You will embody your presence.
On the Finca we will practice daily a relaxing and strengthening Hatha Yoga, enjoy the waves of the ocean, the beauty of the garden and the excellent vegetarian food.

Fire women
a 5rhythms Heartbeat® retreat
with Iris Harms
CANCELED DUE TO COVID-19
Be sincere to yourself. What’s your heart desire? If you’re a fire-woman like me, you’re driven by impatience. Your energy is hot. A volcano is burning in you. You are far too ready to pull your fire-sword to claim your position. You’re not holding back. Your gift is to gather people around you. To warm them with your being here. To spark their enthusiasm. Your gift casts shadows. How often did you burn your fingers? Went beyond your limits? Were you burned out? Emotions belong to you like the salt in the soup. And you long for a real love at eye level.
In this Heartbeat® retreat, you’ll learn the pleasure to earth your fire and surrender yourself to the feminine power of the water. You will experience what it means when you accept your power and lead it in your direction.The Finca Argayall on La Gomera offers the perfect environment. On this island erased from volcanoes, nature, sun, the ocean and a place to dance and dream.
Iris Yasmine Harms
Movement is my issue. I have my roots in paedagogic, have worked as manager and topseller in the busines world until my soul guided me to the 5Rhythms®. Here I can express my creativity and live the warmth of my heart.

Plant communication
A week dedicated to the world of plants
with Livia Sauter
CANCELED DUE TO COVID-19
We will dive into the beauty and wisdom of the world of plants in the subtropical permaculture garden of Finca Argayall. Without any physical intake of plant medicine, we connect with the spirit of the plants and discover their power and healing force. This shamanic journey will be supported by a daily yoga practice, heart opening meditation, drumming and singing. This will help us to come into inner silence, a sacred place, where we start to connect with the spirit realm. Plants have always been important teachers and allies of humans. They heal and nourish, not only our body, but also our soul. The communication with the spirit of the plants reconnect us with ourselves with Mother Earth and with the Universe, reminding us who we really are.
Livia Sauter is a professional gardener, passionate about the world of plants. She is deeply connected with the garden of Finca Argayall. She completed yoga teacher trainings in Nepal and Switzerland and studied contemporary shamanism in the Lodge of Quetzalcoatl, Switzerland.

“Who is in? Awareness Intensive”
with Roshan Vider
The Awareness intensive retreat is not another psychological therapy. In this retreat we seek a direct experience of Truth, of being, and in this adventure we pass through and beyond ideas, ideals, conditionings, problems, games and identities, in a word … mind. The structure creates space to work with the Koan “Who Is In?” as a tool to return to source. Traveling through all the layers of who we think we are brings us straight to the deepest center of witnessing. This allows a deep relaxation and the sparkling joy of being truly in the present moment. The work involves an intense retreat with silence, diet, active and passive meditations and individual Koan talks. This journey provides time to be totally with yourself, without distractions. This retreat is right for those who feel the need for a passionate and total commitment to spiritual growth.
The inquiry into who am I? and who is in? is the very heart of all human search. It penetrates to the core. It helps to let go of what is nonessential. It lets you discover love, truth, joy. It widens your perspective and supports you through interconnectedness. It gives you access to your resources and allows you to live with true authority.And you will relax and experience yourself directly.
By combining the ancient technique of facing the wall in silence with the modern technique of structured communication with a partner, a powerful tool for self-exploration has been created. Opening up in the presence of another melts away layers of protection while intensifying the intention to find who you truly are: the never ending mystery.
Deva Roshan, *Gregory Vider* has been educated as an Osho therapist, trained in numerous techniques, such as “Voice Dialogue” (working with internal voices), Primal Deconditioning, Emotional Release, Bio Energetics, Body Type reading, Co- Dependency, Enlightenment Intensive work, and Tantra Energetics. His work reflects many years of self inquiry, and radiates a heart-felt, compassionate, deep understanding of personality and essence. He leads awareness intensive workshops in USA, Costa Rica, Argentina, Ecuador, Panama, Colombia and Germany.

Opening to Intimacy
with Tameer
CANCELED DUE TO COVID-19
Intimacy is one of our biggest longings and yet one of our greatest fears. Opening to intimacy means opening up to ourselves and to others in a heartful and honest way. This group is an invitation to explore in a touching, creative and playful way how we can relate to ourselves and to others in a more joyful and nurishing way. Accepting and honoring our own truth and bounderies, as well as those of the others, will allow us to drop old habits, judgements, masks and strategies. From this space we can relax into creating more healthy and honest ways of relating, from the heart, vulnerable, and with a clear sense of self. This new insight can support our fundamental need for a balance between intimacy and individuality in our daily life. Opening to Intimacy as we look at it in this group is not about sex and relationships. It’s about the joy and wonder of creative, honest and heartfelt relating. This is a group open to everyone who is curious about connecting with others in different ways or feels somehow trapped or lost in relationships.
A life long meditator, Tameer is a trained Osho Therapist at the Osho Multiversity in Puna India, where he lived and worked for many years. This experience, and his years of leading groups in Europe and South America, result in a very heartful way of working with people. He combines Eastern and Western methods to create and hold a safe space that facilitates and supports a long lasting, body grounded, experience of the self. Acceptance of the self with all its depth, aliveness and expressions clears the way towards relaxation, celebration and meditation.
