What is Authentic Flow?
- Where Infinite becomes Intimate
Authentic flow is a somatic approach to movement through which we listen, taste, see, feel, inquire and learn to embody our bodies as a living, feeling and exploring creative process of becoming.
This is an ongoing conversation between the inner and the outer, your body and it’s interconnectedness to the environment, between every part of your bodyheartmind, and as a whole. It seeks to clarify tools and pathways for sensing and recognizing Truth, ‘Here-ness’, safety & home, as well as rapture.
The goal is where you are. It is a direct sensory experience of the Now/You, rising as You/Now.
When you move everything moves. We are movement and the movement we are will inform the movement we do; on and off the mat. As we consciously find this arising movement of Truth, we also support more complex, self-regulatory and healing processes in the body-mind. This brings a sense of relief and emotional clarity, a sense of agency and tranquility, nourishment, connection and love.
To be/do this, we use breath, sounding, soundscape, fluid-state activation and recognition, a receptive, sensory state of attention, Yoga asana, mantra, intuitive movement, elemental embodiment and more, all informed by non-dual Tantrik philosophy.
This allows us to go with what truly is and not what we want/try there to be. We get out of our own way and learn to, not necessarily feel better, but to get better at feeling.
We shift our rational and more conventional orientation from linear thinking to a more multi-directional and sensing, feeling Embodied Awakening of the BodyHeartMindSpirit.
What is Shake the Dust?
// LET GO OF WHAT YOU MAY BE HINDERED BY
THIS IS A TRANSFORMATIVE AND EMBODIED PRACTICE OF THE BODYHEARTMIND.
THROUGH GUIDED POETIC UNIVERSE WITH A THEME RELATED TO EACH PRACTICE WE JOURNEY BETWEEN PERPETUAL MOVEMENT, REST, RELEASE AND FREE MOVEMENT.
WITH SHAKING, JUMPING, DANCING, INTUITIVE MOMENT (SOME YOGA SOMETIMES TOO), PILATES, SOMATICS AND BODY WEIGHT TRAINING, NOT TO MENTION A KICK ASS CAREFULLY CURATED PLAYLIST, THIS CLASS IS DESIGNED FOR ANYONE AND WILL AT BEST DELIVER A CATHARTIC RELEASE, A GREAT WORKOUT, SWEAT AND A STRONG, RESILIENT BODY.
What is EMBODIED YIN?
“Where mystical permeates the mundane”
— Embodied YinExpanding the ordinary Yin yoga experience
Embodied Yin yoga invites us to explore our multidimensional capacities for healing by listening and sensing with the whole body-mind. It increases awareness of our mind-body connection in each dimension and through different somatic approaches, intuitive movement, classical non-dual Tantra, Chinese medicine and Yin yoga, opens up space by helping to release limitations.

The Location.
Tierra Cosmica, Monda, Southern Spain
At only 40 minutes from Malaga International Airport and a 20-minute
drive to Marbella center, Tierra Cosmica is conveniently located in the Alpujata valley of Monda. It feels away from everything, but it is very
quick and easy to get here.
Tierra Cosmica looks out on a lush valley with small fincas and fruit
orchards scattered around, flanked by hills dotted with cork oaks and
pines. The green landscape of our valley is formed by the presence of
water, that has attracted small farmers since ancient times.
The charming, whitewashed village of Monda, a 15-minute walk away, is set
in the Sierra de las Nieves biosphere. A beautiful mountainous area with
many streams and forests – a lesser-known side of Andalucia. Monda
offers small shops and a few nice restaurants.
Just a short walk away from our gates you can find a trail through a dry
riverbed, leading to some refreshing pools and small waterfalls in the
winter and spring months. There even is a beautiful spring with fresh water
running abundantly all year round. A wonderful place to fill up your drink
bottle with living water.
At Tierra Cosmica Benjamin and Anne Marie fuse the art of retreat venue
hosting with their kitchen expertise and passion for plant-based food as La Pachamama Organic.
They’ve bundled their years of experience with their own creativity and sense of style, to create a retreat sanctuary for the senses. A haven of
comfort, beauty, and peace – all elements that help construct a safe
container for transformation and growth.
