Dynamic meditation, yoga and tantra at Awakeland, Portugal

Awake Land is a centre for ecological meditation in Portugal. Since 2014, this site has been living in accordance with the principles of permaculture. This 50-acre paradise will soon be hosting new festivals and workshops on dynamic meditation, yoga and tantra.

Five members currently live throughout the year on the site, which is located between the borders of the Alentejo and Algarve regions in Portugal, and only a few minutes away from Monchique. The numerous, and very comfortable, eco-buildings can accommodate volunteers and guests from around the world.

Actively meditate by planting trees

As well as placing emphasis on taking care of the body through regular physical activities, the community also takes care of the mind through numerous techniques of dynamic meditation inspired by Osho, such as yoga and tantra. Planting trees, for example, is one of their favourite activities.

It is perfectly possible to have a economically-viable career as well as ecologically respecting human beings and biodiversity – Ashik, founder of Awake Land.

 

Festivals and courses on yoga and tantra

In May 2018, the workshop and festival season will begin at Awake Land, offering numerous opportunities to disconnect and unwind, or even to go further and become a yoga instructor!
