The Roaring Lion Retreat

About the retreat

The Roaring Lion Retreat Journeys have been created by Reinhard combining his vast experience in the various aspects of the development of the emotional, spiritual, and physical bodies, with journey experiences with nature, mystic places, and the emotional vibration of water, sun, and the colors of surroundings.

He combines meditation, the practice of self-inquiry, and the transcendent Essence Healing Training Coaching approach with deep emotional release and cleansing.

He has worked with over 25,000 people in the last 30 years, and his unique Essence Healing Training Process has helped many of those to achieve absolute clarity, a deep resolution of emotional blockages, sabotaging beliefs, and the radical encounter of one's core.

Much of the healing starts naturally when you come in contact with the exceptional nature, the sea, and the people of this beautiful volcanic island. If you wish, we can take a different journey to various parts of the island each day or enjoy a day of paragliding, a day of deep-sea diving, or you simply choose to spend your days on a deserted beach on your own. All is possible.

When you return in the evening, you have the option to join Reinhard on a meditation or breath event or a personal coaching session to resolve and open issues.

Both group and highly individualized programs are available.

This is a description of the Intensive Roaring Lion individual Retreat:

DAY 3 - The day of our first Levada walk. We start with an active meditation led by Reinhard.

Levadas are man-made waterways and essential for Madeira to provide fresh drinking water. Many of these levadas end up in unique spots like waterfalls with ponds to swim in. We will walk today with our guide to my favorite walk: The Five Springs. Lush forests with many waterfalls and outstanding views make this my favorite. Tranquil lunch with Madeira Punch at a local inn. We return to our accommodation for a sound healing session with live music, followed by your individual coaching session with Reinhard.

DAY 4 - Chilling on the beautiful beaches in Porto Santo

We start early at 6 with our boat trip to Porto Santo, a small island near Madeira, my favorite getaway. We plan to spend two days there. Morning meditation with Reinhard. A breathwork session in the morning. The rest of the day, time to let all hang loose, relax walk on deserted beaches, and just take charge in your midweek achievements on your retreat. Evening optional individual coaching with Reinhard.

DAY 5 

We wake up with an early beach Vipassana slow walk on the beach. To adjust to the slower pace... Then, depending on the sea, our diving instructor will pick us up for a dive to a shipwreck. For those with no diving permits, there is a tour of the island available or simply enjoy the slow pace on the island to ride a bike or chill on the beach. Evening meditation with an individual coaching session with Reinhard.
