A Retreat of Body Wisdom, Grounding, Presence, Inner Nourishment and Rebirth
with Angela Schmel
The body is the space that amplifies our experience of life on Earth.
Through the body we perceive, feel and live our human journey. It is the place where emotions and thoughts take form, and the living container through which life expresses itself.
This retreat invites participants to step out of alert mode, reconnecting with the wisdom of the body and cultivating a deeper relationship with presence, self-care and inner nourishment.
Through conscious touch, gentle massage, conscious nourishment, contact with the other and with one’s own boundaries, and immersion in nature, participants rediscover the body as a living temple.
The retreat also includes practices of purification and renewal
that support the body’s natural process of cleansing and regeneration.
This experience offers a space to slow down,
listen to yourself and rediscover yourself.

ANGELA SCHMEL
Journey of Essence
My name is Angela Schmel. For years I have been a keeper of and worked with the traditions and rituals of ancient peoples — from the proto-Magyar shamanic traditions of Hungary, where I come from, to Venezuelan syncretic traditions and rituals.
I facilitate and lead retreats whose work is rooted in nature, in presence and in the wisdom of lived experience.
My work ranges from systemic constellations, which heal the roots of family dynamics received through DNA, to shamanic work of vision and processing.
I have spent the last 20 years in the mountains of the Maiella. For over 25 years I have been studying and exploring the relationships between human beings, places, symbols, cultures and processes of transformation.
Integrating body awareness, ancestral traditions, archetypal research and work, and direct observation of the natural world, I create bridges between worlds: between nature and human experience, between memory and transformation, between tradition and contemporary life.
Through retreats, workshops and immersive experiences I create simple and authentic spaces in which to find silence, presence and experiential learning, to return to what is essential.
Spaces where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves and rediscover their relationship with the power of nature, community and their inner purpose.

Systemic, Archetypal and Phenomenological Constellations in Nature with Angela Schmel
Every life grows from roots that often remain unseen. Family dynamics, ancestral memories and dynamics received through DNA, cultural influences and the places we inhabit all shape our inner landscape.
This retreat explores systemic and archetypal constellations through a phenomenological approach in direct relationship with nature. Working with the four elements — fire, earth, water and air — participants are invited to observe the deeper movements within personal and collective fields.
Constellations may unfold in the landscape, among trees and natural elements, allowing the environment itself to become part of the process.
Through presence, group work and embodied exploration, this retreat offers a space to reconnect with the deeper roots of life and the living field from which our experience emerges.
