Whalefulness

Mónica is guiding us on a journey of connection to cetaceans. Beyond common whalewatching, an ​experience from the heart. In silence, with the speech on cetacean biology and ethology before the ​experience, so we can enjoy in mindful awareness.

She is a yatch skipper, responsible whalewatching, meditation and mindfulness guide. With more than ​15 years experience in Interspecies communication and Reiki mastery (Usui and Karuna). Munay Ki ​facilitator ...

Just finishing pshycology degree, continous researching cetacean ethology, compared psychology ​(interspecies) , and enviromental psychology.

She is passionate about nature, animals and loves studying and connecting the spiritual and scientific ​realms. With nature as her axis and animals as her guides. Learning and unlearning just to enjoy and ​share it.

"My best teachings, titles, challenges and gifts came to me straight from the animals, my main teachers in this lifetime. That is why I don't expect to ​teach anyone, just guiding to those who have so much to share, (non human) animals. Creating safe and respectful places, side by side with all our ​experiences."

"It is about creating spaces where people can feel and listen to nature beyond our internal dialogue. Creating safe spaces where crying, laughimg ​and being moved by the overwhelming magic of nature is allowed and supported. Where you can choose to share freely or keep it to yourself. It is not ​a healing journey but I have no doubt it heals."

"I believe with all my heart that respecting the enviroment and nature will come from the heart. Out of that deep feeling of wanting to take care of ​that which we love and that contains our affections, our memories and our own lives. In this sense cetaceans are to me great messengers, witnesses of ​earth's evolution through millions of years. With a tender consciousness proportional to their size"

María del Mar joins us in this experience of Whalefulness with her project Yogak.

She is waking us up in the morning with her warm smile, guiding an energizing Hatha yoga ​practice, she will also share with us soothing Yin Yoga classes just before sleep time.

She will guide some meditations after the practice of asanas so we can embody the experience ​and enjoy the rest of the activities.

María del Mar is a veterinarian specialist in exotic animals and dermatology.

Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga and Yin yoga master. To her, obstacles are just opportunities to ​improve and transform herself. Applying it to daily life and in special moments like our ​retreat.

A path of continous learning where she puts her kwnoledge and self-discovery at the service of ​animals, human and non human.

"Feeling I can choose, that is freedom. Following my intuition. The mistery of following ​that which attracts me, gets me, seduce me and leads me to the deepest parts of ​myself. Contemplating my former self and letting her go so it opens up the path for ​my current self, my Being. Giving myself the chance to feel deeply and vibrate high. ​That is yoga to me. Union with my own self"

"Everything is ok. If your yoga has changed over the years. If some days you are not ​able to do advanced asanas, everything is ok. If you practice yoga for 5 minutes or ​for an hour, everything is right. It is right if you practice yoga in order to come ​back to your body and mind. It is right if you use it to sleep. Use it always with ​love. Trust yourself and your daily practice. It is your yoga. It is your body, honor it. ​It is your path, it IS LOVE."
