SUMMARY:Body of Joy: Ecstatic Spirituality through Breath\, Yoga\, Art\, and Dance - Tavira\, Portugal
DESCRIPTION:Four-day\, in-person workshop June 5 – 10\, 2026 Near Tavira\, Portugal \n\n\n\n“If enlightenment does not take place in the body\, it does not take place at all.” \n\n\n\n— Yeshe Tsogyal\, 8th-century Tibetan Buddhist master\, consort of Padmasambhava\, and one of the most venerated figures in Vajrayana Buddhism. \n\n\n\nMuch of spirituality—East and West—rightly focuses on “up and out” practices\, awakening the higher chakras to deepen compassion\, spiritual insight\, and wisdom. These are called “generation stage” practices in Tibetan Buddhism. As spiritual development advances\, it becomes important to also include practices that are “down and in\,” to awaken all the subtle energy centers in the human body\, which then becomes a living microcosm of the larger cosmos. \n\n\n\nThis retreat focuses on natural embodied practices\, drawn from eastern and western traditions\, that awaken the spiritual energy and vitality of the entire human body— which leads to experiencing daily life as living in a “body of joy.”  \n\n\n\nDrawing on dance\, breathwork\, art\, yoga\, movement\, and diverse spiritual disciplines\, join us as we reclaim our natural human birthright. \n\n\n\nContact: Garrett Evansgarrett@grworld.org+1-618-558-6560 \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Gender Equity and Reconciliation Workshop: Healing the Gender Divides
DESCRIPTION:THREE-DAY IN-PERSON WORKSHOP\n\n	Gender Equity and Reconciliation Workshop: Healing the Gender Divides\n\n	Date & Time:\n			September 21\n	  @\n9:00 am\n	  –\n	September 23\n	  @\n4:00 pm \nLOCATION:Tavira\, Portugal \nCONTACT:Antonia Porter \n					\n									Register Here\n					 \nGender Equity and Reconciliation International (GERI) is holding a powerful\, experiential workshop on transforming gender relations from 21-23 September at its centre near Tavira\, southern Portugal. Using the unique approach of Gender Equity and Reconciliation (GER)\, this three-day workshop will bring together participants including from the fields of peacebuilding and mediation. \nThe GER approach is groundbreaking and participatory: it creates a platform for the sharing of personal stories and gender journeys among participants to transform the very roots of patriarchy in a way that reaches far beyond an ordinary workshop. The process provides a rare forum to jointly confront the personal\, social\,  historical\, and cross-cultural origins of gender oppression and exploitation\, and to reach mutual healing and understanding. Men are strongly encouraged and welcomed into Gender Equity and Reconciliation work\, which involves no “male-bashing”\, but instead inspires men to take part joyfully in dismantling patriarchy in society\, for the benefit of all humans. All sexual orientations and gender identities are welcome.  \nParticipants will be invited to share stories and participate in other experiential activities within a carefully-facilitated environment. This process delivers insights that contribute directly to shifting gender relations. New relational skills and a culture of deep respect and integrity between the genders are fostered\, fuelled by heightened mutual awareness of the gender conditioning experienced in our societies.
