North Goa
7 Day Somatic De-armoring & Self Love Retreat
With Bashar Waleed
Why This Retreat?
We all carry layers of tension, emotions, and unprocessed memories in our bodies. These create a kind of armoring in the belly, chest, breath, and nervous system. What we could not face in the moment, the body stored — in our organs, fascia, and subtle energy.
This 7-day (6-night) retreat is an immersion into releasing that armoring and restoring comfort and intimacy with life itself. It is both a deep healing journey and a training in practical tools you can carry into your everyday life.
What You’ll Experience
✨ Self-love & the 7 Chakras – how thoughts, emotions, and beliefs influence health, intimacy, and expression.
✨ Shadow & Light – understanding survival strategies and childhood archetypes, transforming them into power and creativity.
✨ Breath as Medicine – using breathwork to release blocked energy, expand awareness, and reconnect with vitality.
✨ Somatic Healing & De-armoring – Taoist abdominal chi massage and techniques to release blockages in the belly, organs, and heart.
✨ Active Meditations – movement, breath, and awareness practices to shake off old patterns and return to presence.
✨ Playful & Embodied Practices – dance, voice release, and surrender exercises to relax into trust and rediscover joy.
Deeper Intention
🌿 Allowing life force to flow with less resistance
🌿 Cultivating witnessing and allowing, beyond chasing or doing
🌿 Rediscovering the ease of simply being
These qualities help us navigate everyday life with more clarity and intimacy — with ourselves, others, and the mystery of existence.
Why Join?
✔ Learn self-healing tools for yourself, family, or clients
✔ Experience both deep release and joyful expression
✔ Create space for life to flow naturally
✔ Come home to your body, breath, and presence
💡 This is not about sexual intimacy — but about a deeper intimacy with life itself: with your own body, your breath, your emotions, and the mystery of being alive.

“I felt very held and safe. There was space for ALL of me to show up in the workshop. Whatever mental state I was in—rage, grief, joy—it was welcomed.”
Athena
“The way you hold the space is very unique, safe, and trustful. The best thing about the workshops is being with yourself. We didn’t have to share the deepest emotions, thoughts, or experiences with others. We had the chance to be fully with ourselves.”

Bashar Waleed
Bashar is a dedicated facilitator in breathwork, kundalini yoga, and men’s work. His core philosophy is rooted in the wisdom of the heart and trusting the body. He combines a variety of techniques, including psychology (with two years of psychosynthesis study), Himalayan kriya, conscious connected breathwork, somatic bodywork, and emotional release.
Born and raised in two cultures, Bashar has spent half his life in Iraq and the other half in Sweden. This unique background gives him a deep understanding that bridges Eastern and Western perspectives. He believes that, despite our differences, we are all interconnected and hold vast reservoirs of love and wisdom within.
Bashar offers retreats, workshops, and personalized 1:1 sessions for individuals and couples, available both in-person and online.
His guiding quote reflects his belief in the transformative power of opening one’s heart: “Open your heart and Thrive! It is your greatest gift to the world. Letting your inner light radiate to dispel darkness within and without.”
