NEW TEMPLAR GATHERING
JULY 23 – 27, Tomar, Central Portugal
A summer retreat for pioneers, changemakers, networkers and warriors of the heart (M/V)
*****
Welcome to spend 4 days together in Tomar, the Templar capital of Portugal, a sweet medieval town where we can experience summer vibes and a new kind of community life, while discovering our soul purpose together. You find accommodation inside the old town in a hotel or air b&b of your choice and we meet daily at The Gate, Rua Dr. Joaquim Jacinto 113, in the center of the old town.
WHAT? 4 days to reconnect with who you truly are, your inner leadership, your life purpose ànd your fellow peers. To bring back the heart in the world, to focus on the good things in life, to find back your strength and actively co-create a better world together. Because “we are the ones we have been waiting for”. But what does that mean? What does the world need from us? Let’s find out.
WHO? The New Templars are all people who feel the call of their soul to serve the planet and to find their tribe to co-create a better world.
Our program:
10-13 am: body awareness and circle sharing
13-15.30 pm: lunch and break
15.30-19 pm: circle sharing and activity (decided on the spot)
19-20.30 pm: dinner
20.30-22 pm: meditation and closure of the day
HOW? We work with yoga, body awareness, meditation, relaxation and breathing, music, dance, circle sharing and Open Space alchemy, to discover who we are, what brings us together and what we could co-create as a growing network. If needed we can go on excursions in the surroundings, visiting places that serve our group purpose.
WHEN? July 23-27: we gather on the 23nd at 6 pm in The Gate for our first dinner together and end on the 27th before lunch time (13 am), with a closing circle. Everybody is expected to participate for the whole retreat.
OPEN SPACE
The format of this gathering is ‘Open Space’. We start our process with everyone’s own story, wishes, themes and obstacles. From there on we will weave the program together and discover what brought us together. We will have the possibility to do yoga, meditation, constellation and energetic work, discover more on the mystic Templars or go on an excursion. There will be at least two sharing circles a day to add the pieces of the puzzle: one in the morning from 10 – 13 am, and one in the evening from 8.30 – 10 pm. We’ll start the program on the first day with a dinner, gathering in our community space: The Gate, right at the foot of the castle, where all our meetings will take place. We will end right before the lunch on Sunday.
