WILD CREATURES
First we were nomadic, then sedentary…
We gathered, then we cultivated…
We walked barefoot, then with soles…
We communicated in presence through movements and sounds, then by using the encrypted verb…
We learned by doing, then by reading…
We loved each other, then we parted….
We were human, then transhuman…
***
We are the earth, we are nature.
We are an intrinsic part of nature. If we destroy it, we destroy ourselves.
If we love it, we love ourselves.
Wild nature manifests itself, thanks to some fundamental laws where all living beings comply with them without questioning them. The human being is the only living being that is allowed to break them and also to make new psychological laws, applying them, using our biology, disconnected from the fundamental laws of the planet together with the fundamental laws of the solar system, the galaxies…the universe.
We are witnessing a systemic crisis, in metaphorical terms, if society is our herd, using nature as a reference, as we are mammals in a herd. Our herd, replicating the behaviour of our transgenerational alphas, lost their way long ago, disconnected from the fundamental laws of creation and clung to psychological laws inherited through generations over thousands of years. This dichotomous psychological package is based on various forms of fear: possessing, consuming and destroying, the germ of the essential fear which is «fear of living» because we do not know where we come from and where we are going.
The new systemic paradigm we are beginning to experience points to a kind of collective union towards a higher purpose. The «thinking sapiens» of the pre-transhuman post-industrial technological age is becoming a conscious being, united with the universal law of creation.
INTENTION
To reunite with wild nature, which is the only original master, we are part of it.
To move within it by attending to the rhythm and vibration of our heart.
Opening the multidimensional portal of our heart by breathing nature, feeling its frequency, opens our will to love and accept who we are.
The mystery of the unknown is a journey of love.
Wild Creatures is a journey into the unknow , the great mistery that is Life

ABOUT THE RETREATS
The purpose of this retreat is to bring us closer to observing the fundamental laws of nature until we are integrated into it and feel that we are part of it.
In nature reigns harmony, order, kaos, instinct, survival, joy, hierarchy, predation, animals, plants, elementals and their physical transformations.
If we reconnect with the elementals and use them as a tuning fork tunes a musical instrument, by the principle of resonance, our mind with body and its electromagnetic fields will be subtly tuned without doing anything, just being and opening the senses. Nature and the beings who understand it will do all the work for you.
From this frequency, we will become aware that we are nature.
Experiencing this stage of oneness opens a window to contemplation.
It is the great challenge of all meditators to observe the thoughts and let them go without catching any of them.
Paths in silence
I invite you to be natural meditators, without postures or guided breathing techniques, you only have to do three things: walk, feel and observe in silence, until, without realising it, you feel part of it.
Walking in a herd, with the possibility of walking barefoot if you feel like it.
It will be the matrix of the essence of this retreat.
Walking I will be moving, letting go, ordering, observing, feeling, integrating myself into the environment until I blend in with it.
Each path will begin with an individual purpose and will close with a circle of group integration.
Group dynamics
We will play with natural and fun dynamics.
We will use movement, voice, rhythm, elementals.
We will develop confidence, self-esteem, joy, innocence, etc.
Thermal Waters
Daily immersion in thermal waters that emerge from the centre of the earth.
They are open-air stone pools that are located in the middle of nature.
The water emerges from the ground, they are Roman ruins with a floor of sand and stones.
The thermal water is an ancient medicine to cleanse and cure all illnesses.
This group thermal immersion will take place every day after the trails, before dinner.
Fire talking circle
We will gather every evening around the fire.
At the heart of many ancient cultures is the tradition of sitting around the fire.
This seemingly simple act not only provided warmth and security, but also served as a sacred space for communication. By sharing stories, knowledge and experiences around the campfire, communities established a deep emotional bond and passed on their values and wisdom from generation to generation.
***
Sleeping and eating
We will sleep in a rural cottage that has different rooms and a living room with a fireplace for the final gathering before sleeping.
The hot meals are breakfast and dinner, because during the day we will be on the move and we will eat a cold picnic during a break.
The type of food is simple and organic, taking into account the intolerances of the members of the group: meat, dairy, gluten, etc…
