In September 2023 we came back to Portugal for our 4D Yoga retreat, together with the yoga teacher Diana Capitão. Dr. Be had done her yoga teacher training with Diana, and for this week their two worlds came together: Diana brought the yoga, and Colin Power and Dr. Be brought the sacred geometry. For one week we lived in the backlands of Aljezur: a beautiful, idyllic place among pine-covered hills.
Exploring the universe through the body
The week was all about exploring the universe, and not only with the mind: through movement, yoga and meditation too. We looked at what the asanas really are, ways of bringing the body into geometric alignment, and at how yogic philosophy links to geometry, for example in the chakra system. Together we practised the Merkaba meditation and explored the idea of the subconscious.
Where science meets spirit
From there we built bridges to science: mind, body and spirit, what atoms are, the system of reality and how reality is created, the idea of simulation theory, and the silent observer. It gave the retreat a more spiritual touch than our workshops, and the conversations went deep. And of course there was geometry by hand: folding stars, painting mandalas, holding a Sierpinski pyramid.
A week of being together
Participants came from all over the world. Between the sessions we played games, made music, danced ecstatically and warmed up in the sauna. There was a little trip to the ocean, too. Mostly, though, it was about being together: contemplating life, reconnecting, and connecting with each other.
