Adventure
Awareness
Not needing to worry about anything, simply focusing on 'being' while immersing into nature..
Focusing on the wellness of our body-mind connection for a specific amount of time while being surrounded by the beauty of nature will, next to an amazing, be a worthwile experience on many levels!
By taking yourself out of your own ‘comfort zone’ into the middle of captivating nature, you will soon start to notice there is more space to feel and listen to what wants to present itself.
The retreat has developed from the idea to create more awareness around the body-mind connection in a pleasant and unique way,
With great passion & enthusiasm, we share our ‘Adventure Of Awareness’ Retreat with you!
A unique, deepening and transformational experience held on the beautiful Cape Verdean Islands : Sao Vicente & Santo Antão. A 7 or 11 day program filled with Holistic Hikes, Massages ,Yin Yoga , Meditation & Self-Inquiry to reconnect with self and create a better understanding of our body-mind connection. A true soul nourishing experience.
Imagine:
In addition to the delicious Cape Verdean meals, there is also a very wholesome program on the menu.
The various activities we will provide will allow you to feel closer to yourself and help you to land back into your body. We ensure that everything is arranged for you and that we will take you to the most beautiful places on the islands.
Well, during a Holisitic Massage session, next to focusing on releasing the physical tension in the body, we will go ‘deeper’ by simultaneously exploring the energetical aspect of the tension. I work with guided meditations and breathwork for you to really ‘land back into the body’ so that we create the space to discover what possibly lies beneath this tension.
Think for example about certain memories, trauma’s, limiting beliefs..
They all hold energy and often time our bodies save them somewhere in the body. Do you see how this could be a reason for creating stress and tension in the body? And that is why it’s so important to also look at the energetical / mental part when you are trying to release physical complaints
During the retreat
Land Of Adaya will provide the Holistic Massages
What is a holistic massage?
Next to the Holistic Massages there are daily meditations, Yin Yoga classes and/or self-inquiry practices. We will also go on beautiful hikes on the island of Santo Antão.
(Important note: you are not obligated to participate in every activity. We provide the opportunity but if there is a moment where, for whatever reason , you rather retreat into alone time, then that’s fine too)

‘The Adventure Of Awareness retreat has given me such a profound, deep sense of
relaxation. A kind that I haven’t been able to carry with me for such a long time before; as if
it will never fade away, or at least very easily summoned. Because everything was arranged
and taken care of, I just had to be and go with the flow... and now, after coming back home, I
notice that something is happening on a deeper level within myself. It’s like I’m experiencing
more calmness and joy. For me, it was a heavenly experience! And, in my opinion, the best
gift you can give yourself. Juliet & Nicolin, from my heart: thank you!!’

TESTIMONIALS
'I woke up with a positive mindset and went to bed feeling positive. There was always a relaxed atmosphere, and everything was open for discussion. You could be yourself and truly enjoy the new, beautiful surroundings. At home, you can also relax, but it’s usually only for a moment until the household chores start calling. Here, I had a whole week for myself, with no obligations—no cooking, no cleaning, no working. No daily tasks that take up a lot of time. It was all about having time for yourself to journal, read, and enjoy nature. A wonderful way to recharge far from home but with lovely people. This was my first time in Cape Verde, but from the very first day, it already felt warm and welcoming.'

TESTIMONIALS
‘My greatest insight during the retreat was that a different environment gives you different insights. Nature truly has an impact on you; doing affirmations in the mountains was magical. Starting the mornings in the temple had something mystical, and I broke certain energetic ties (with certain people) where there was now space for that. I don’t know if I could have done this at home in my usual environment. So, I’m glad I was in this environment.’
TESTIMONIALS
‘Rust en kalmte, kalmte en rust & dat is wat deze retreat me heeft gebracht.
De prachtige natuur van Santo Antão, yoga op zeer bijzondere plekken, massages en hikes. Nergens over na hoeven denken, alles georganiseerd en super prettig begeleid door Juliet en Nicolin. Encore!’

'For me, everything was perfect as it was. I loved everything, but if I had to highlight some moments, they would be: Yoga on the second day amidst the clouds, the holistic massage in the temple, and hiking through the lush greenery.'

‘I had been looking for a solo vacation for a while, without family, friends, or kids, but I didn’t want to be alone the entire week because I wasn't sure if I’d get bored or if I’d have anyone to talk to. I also wanted a trip with a holistic touch, as I began my spiritual journey a few years ago.’

TESTIMONIALS
I joined The Adventure of Awareness Retreat on Cape Verde!
What an amazing, overwhelming experience.
And this is still an understatement!
The special program of The Adventure of Awareness Retreat is filled with:
• Yin Yoga classes
• Holistic massages
• impressive hiking
- This allows you to relax and experience personal and emotional growth.
But that is not everything!
What makes this Adventure of Awareness Retreat truly exceptional is that you get to know the nature, culture and history of the islands. You step into the 'pores' of Santo Antão and San Vicente
Thanks to the professionals, Juliet Cannegieter and Nicolin Monteiro, their open and cordial
character, the passion with which they guide you during the program, and their 'morabeza', I had an unforgettable time and introduction to Cape Verde.

Imagine how we will do our Yoga in the morning in this beautiful temple. Softly inviting you to go inward, to be still, to hear the whisperings of our soul.
We carefully selected our choice for accomodation.

I have been blessed enough to travel to Cape Verde many times and I remember what is was like to fully immerse myself in the Majestic Mountains, the lush green valleys and the overall warmth of the place. My soul was able to surrender to more tranquility which enabled me to really ‘land’ back into myself. To listen to what my mind and body were trying to whisper to me but what I could not hear due to all the busyness of my everyday life in Europe.
I tuned OFF to tune IN.
With a lot of passion & enthusiasm,
Land Of Adaya organizes the retreat with local travel specialist Nicolin Monteiro from Nico Monte agency.
