I Am Awakening - Immersion
A Four-Night Embodied Immersion
Part of the I Am Awakening series within the Awakening Within field.
Hosted at Casa de Alegría, Spain
Entering The Immersion
This is a contained, four-night embodied immersion for those who sense that something within them is ready to be met more honestly. Not dramatically, theatrically or through intensity. Through steadiness.
I Am Awakening — Immersion is a structured yet responsive space designed to support conscious integration across the five layers of being:
Physical, Emotional, Mental, Intellectual & Cosmic.
Awakening here is not an event, it is a process of remembering.
Remembering what has been avoided.
Remembering what has been known but not lived.
Remembering how to discern clearly in daily life.
This is not an escape, breakthrough weekend or a dramatic transformation container.
It is an embodied immersion.
The Structure
Each immersion follows a clear rhythm:
→ Two embodied practices daily — morning and evening
→ One reflective workshop each full day
→ Spacious integration time
→ One guided nature-based excursion within the surrounding region
→ Optional 30-minute integration conversation one month after completion
→ Access to the Casa de Alegría reading shelf for personal study
Practices may take place within the studio or within the surrounding natural landscape.
The structure remains consistent. The location within that structure may adapt to weather conditions, participant readiness, and the natural rhythm of the immersion.
Experiential Practices in Nature
At certain times, the immersion may include opportunities to explore practice in natural environments beyond the studio.
These occasional experiential sessions allow participants to encounter movement, balance, and awareness within water and outdoor settings.
Examples may include:
→ Aqua Yoga — gentle movement practice in water, exploring buoyancy, breath, and fluidity
→ Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) Yoga — balancing and moving with awareness on water in a natural setting
→ Aqua Aerobics — light water-based movement supporting mobility and joint ease
→ Mountain Yoga – Gentle movement or stillness in nature
These sessions are optional and offered when conditions and group readiness support the experience.
How The Work Unfolds Across The Five Layers
This is not a schedule.
It’s the methodology behind the immersion.
Participants may encounter elements such as:
-
Embodied Awareness & Regulation
Work at the physical layer supports grounding, nervous system stability, and the restoration of natural movement and breath.
Practices may include:
• Functional and reflective yoga practice
• Breathwork and breath awareness
• Grounding and foot awareness
• Restorative practice and Yoga Nidra
• Somatic relaxation and guided visualisation
• Gentle movement meditationThe physical layer provides the foundation for the deeper work that follows.
-
Meeting the Inner Landscape
At the emotional layer participants explore the patterns that shape their responses to life and relationships.
Exploration may include:
• Inner child reflection
• Self-love and self-compassion work
• Observing self-sabotage patterns
• Understanding emotional habits and conditioning
• Learning to meet discomfort without avoidanceThe intention is not catharsis but honest observation and integration.
-
Awareness of Thought & Habit
The mental layer explores how thinking patterns influence behaviour and perception.
Participants may engage with themes such as:
• Self-observation and awareness of mental patterns
• Habit formation and behaviour change
• Establishing healthy routines
• Learning to respond rather than react
• Recognising conditioned beliefsClarity at the mental layer supports steadiness in daily life.
-
Inquiry & Understanding
This layer invites reflection on philosophical and conceptual frameworks that support self-understanding.
Discussions may explore:
• The foundations of yoga philosophy
• Patanjali’s eight-limbed system
• The relationship between discipline and freedom
• Discernment in daily life
• The role of awareness in conscious livingThe aim is not intellectual mastery but clearer understanding.
-
Remembering Presence
The Cosmic layer relates to the quiet awareness that underlies all experience.
Practices may include:
• meditation and silent reflection
• guided presence practices
• awareness of the space in which experience arises
• resting in simple observationThis layer supports the gradual remembering that awakening is not something to achieve but something already present.

“The trip was perfect and exactly what I needed and I felt nourished the whole time. One morning we went to a nearby beach for our embodied practice. It was raining but it was so wonderful we ended up in the sea for about an hour just splashing around and feeling so happy and joyous. I can’t recommend this experience enough or this location. it was a truly magical.”
