Innate: Carvoeiro, Portugal 🇵🇹

Unsure how to summarize this, because my experience at the colive was simply ineffable... what a mind blowing way of living, i truly enjoyed every bit of it. the combination of finding stillness through meditation, combined with lots of laugher with a bunch of lovely people, ánd still getting a lot of creativity boosts in my business, was simply invaluable. the connections i was able to find here in portugal, both with lost parts of myself as well as with others human beings, can be called nothing less than profound. if you are still in doubt, i kindly urge you to stop that immediately ;-) trust me, this will be the best investment you are able to provide yourself with. thank me later!

I was an a co-live event in portugal. i met some great people there i will stay in touch with. i got some solid work done and had a gentle introduction into one month in portugal as the team at innate handled all things accommodation & location which was a bit help for me. i am very grateful for my experience there.

I went to the zen meditation colive in october in portugal. what a month! i'm not lying if i'm saying it has changed my life for the better. funny because before the month, i was quite afraid of not being a good fit for me, because my social fears, but i have to say, it has totally exceeded my expectations!during this month, i have managed to find a direction on my life, deep enormously my conscious practice through meditation, sharing circles, buddhism talks, kirtan, ecstatic dances and much more. on the social side, i'm lucky to have found such an incredible and shining people, feeling totally comfortable to be myself. i have learned so much from the community.if you are not sure about it because some fears, i totally recommend you to push through and join an innate coliving soon, because it will change your life.

I attended the Zen Co-Live in October 23, in Portugal. I cannot speak highly enough for the care, and attention to detail made by Harry and the Innate team. They struck a great balance between co-ordinated scheduling (EG: the daily Zen sessions, along with some weekly group dinners, etc.) and encouraging an easy flow of organic scheduling (EG: Someone from the group offers an ecstatic dance ceremony, sharing circles, etc.)I also want to emphasise the unique mix of people. Similar (in terms of sheer kindness and many common interests) but different (in terms of backgrounds and experiences).The venue was excellent. The place had volleyball courts, a large shala, several pools, a communal garden area, etc. The staff on the campus were also lovely.Finally, I was very impressed and grateful to be in the presence of Zen teacher Ryoshin, who brought his considerable experience and wisdom to bear on the 30 days together.All in all, a wonderful 30 days together, with some profound moments of connection and heartfulness.I hope to be able to attend another colive soon!
