E O FOGO SAGRADO
31 DEC ~ 01 JAN 2023 ⫸ ARRÁBIDA ~ PORTUGAL ⫸ 2 DAYS & 1 NIGHT OF ECSTASY & CONNECTION
“In many shamanic societies, if you came to a shaman and complained about being discouraged or depressed, he would ask one of four questions:
When did you stop dancing?
When did you stop singing?
When did you stop being enchanted by stories?
When did you stop finding comfort in the sweet territory of silence?
> in “Maps to Ecstasy” by Gabrielle Roth
