EQUINOX WEEKEND IN A BIVOUAC
With Clara Sofia & Dominique Rochier

September 19 - 21 Lacanau France

Cacao Ceremony - Sacred Fire - Meditation
Wutao - Chant of the Breath - Rebirth

Immersion within yourself, in nature, to become One!

Facing the ocean, in the heart of nature, we invite you to celebrate the end of summer and begin the new cycle with tranquility. We open a sacred space to let go of the old and make way for this new phase that the Earth offers us. By listening to your body, your heart, and nature, you will be able to free yourself from everything that is no longer useful and focus on the real priorities for this new school year.

In direct communion with the power of the elements—earth, water, wind, fire, and ether—you live nomadically by day, punctuated by guided meditation, a sacred fire cacao ceremony, and playful micro-workshops themed around your presence with the Self and Nature: Wutao, the chant of breath, and collective rebirth. The weekend will take place on the dune ridge between the ocean beach and the wooded edge of the dune.

At night, you connect with wildlife, melt into the elements, and abandon yourself to the Living. Sleeping outside, almost on the ground, requires a certain amount of surrender, with a sense of humility before nature. It's a return to a primordial energy in a nature of the earliest times, where man lived like a singular animal in an immersive environment.

We won't teach you magic tricks, but rather invite you to discover your own magic and connect with the plant, animal, and human worlds in a state of deep inner and outer listening. Your fears, apprehensions, worries, excitement, and challenges are all part of the raw material necessary for this immersion. To progress, we will invite you to explore your self-confidence, settle into your comfort zone, and explore. We will be there to support you while respecting your limits. With joy and lightness, each person will be able to transcend and be reborn in this new cycle.

Dominique Rochier

On my journey as an experimenter of states of consciousness and self-confidence, here are some elements of my journey (isolation tank / rebirth / geobiology / psychosynthesis as tools for creativity, Wutao, Chant du souffle, Maieutics). Human beings are more than the sum of their journeys; they learn to be. And it is on this path of "I am," immersed in the universe, that we will humbly experience exploration.
