Andrea Innocenti

Move, listen, reconnect with sensation

Mexico Playa Zipolite paid

Movement, touch, sound and shared meals shape the three-day Awakening the Sense retreat led by Andrea Innocenti at CAMP. The program brings together ecstatic dance, Tantra, contact improvisation, yoga, sound healing, cacao ceremony and conscious relating, with live music woven into the experience. Rather than following a single named meditation lineage, it centers on embodied awareness: noticing sensation, meeting the present moment and exploring connection with yourself and others. CAMP gives the retreat a distinctive setting, with clay, stone, bamboo and palm among the natural materials used in its architecture, plus water- and energy-conscious design. Days include vegetarian breakfast and dinner, prepared with fresh, local, unprocessed ingredients; vegan options are available. The format is active and relational, so expect more movement and shared practice than long stretches of silent sitting. It suits travelers curious about embodied work and willing to engage with a varied, group-based program.

Setting

CAMP’s artistic architecture combines clay, stone, bamboo and palm with water- and energy-conscious design. Its calm, restorative atmosphere provides a grounded base for a retreat built around movement, sound and connection.

The practice

There is no single named tradition guiding this retreat. Instead, sessions draw on movement, yoga, sound and relational practices to bring attention to the body and present-moment experience. Newcomers can expect a varied, participatory program rather than a meditation course focused on seated silence. Contact Andrea if you would like to discuss what each practice involves before booking.

A typical day

The daily rhythm varies across the three-day retreat, and a session-by-session schedule should be confirmed with Andrea. Vegetarian breakfast and dinner are included; between meals, the program may draw on movement, yoga, sound, cacao and conscious relating. Expect an active group experience rather than a fixed timetable of silent sits.
