Workshops and retreats online and in person in Tenerife!
Yoga, Animal Flow, Movement, Photography, Journaling and Creative Writing to inspire to protect the ocean and the natural world
VIVARIUM: Latin word that was traditionally used to name the fish nurseries and gardens located next to the Mediterranean Sea, during Roman times. Over time, its use expanded to name everything that belongs to living beings and to emphasize the importance of those natural spaces that could be considered a place for life.
online retreat: Mindfulness, Yoga and journaling for a more hopeful 2025
Saturday, 18th January 2025, 2PM GMT / 3PM CET (2.5h)
This is an opportunity to start the year in a very different way. We’ll focus on dreaming and imagining a more hopeful 2025. We’ll create a space for a more mindful and embodied lifestyle where we can increase our opportunities for connection with ourselves, the people around us and nature.
Just like waves that travel through the ocean bringing energy from faraway storms into our local sea shores, we’ll learn how embodied journaling can also help us embrace our very own transformative powers. The session will start with a Meditation and a Yoga practice inspired in the Ocean to explore inner connection and get the mind and the body ready for journaling.
Vivarium project is a reminder that, collectively, we have the power to imagine and create a kinder, more humane world by embracing multiculturalism, sustainability, diversity and nature
Through initiatives and events that encompass voice, body and nature, Vivarium project wants to emphasize the value of the ocean as a place for life.
Vivarium is a community project that aims to preserve the foundational values of the world’s sea peoples and their cultures while imagining a more sustainable future for the marine life and the communities whose lives are linked to the ocean. Particularly, it aims to bringing to light intergenerational stories to contribute to create collective memories.
Identity, memory, movement, creativity and culture intertwine to nurture free and wild imagination. The goal of my retreats and workshops is to encourage participants to take care of the here and now as a path towards building a better and more sustainable future.
Vivarium is inspired by my own journey and my relationship with the ocean. I was born and brought up by the Mediterranean Sea. This is where my roots are and where my journey began. Despite my living abroad since I was 21 years old, the connection that I have with the Mediterranean Sea and the ocean is very strong and it holds a very special place in my heart. Swimming in the ocean makes me feel free and gives me a deep sense of belonging.
In early 2006, life surprised me with a very beautiful gift when I got the opportunity to move to Asia. This continent, its cultures and peoples, stole my heart immediately and I felt at home from the very beginning. In Asia, I developed my professional career in storytelling. It is also the place where I discovered the importance that movement and our bodies have to our existence and to our freedom of conscience, our creativity and imagination.
Despite the geographical distance and the cultural differences between the Mediterranean and Asia, both cultures share very similar foundational values.
Understanding this connection between the two cultures contributed to my deep sense of belonging in Asia. It also gave me the opportunity of growing as a person and learning how to understand life’s possibilities beyond the culture in which I was born. These experiences take on a dimension of its own as they shaped my identity and my memories of a life by the sea.
Currently based in Tenerife, Canary Islands, I am learning how to surf and creating and exploring a new, deep and powerful bond with the Atlantic Ocean and the communities whose lives intertwine with it.
Vivarium is a communitarian project aiming at preserving the foundational values of the sea cultures around the world while we imagine a more sustainable future for the marine life and the livelihoods of the communities bond to the ocean.
