Virginie Freire
Chinese Medicine practitioner
She is a Portuguese Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, a TRE provider, an enthusiast of natural healing methods and all that can empower oneself to achieve health and balance making appropriate choices.
Inspired by the Dao and her one-year learning experience at the Daoist Five Immortals Temple in China, she believes that healing is not only about applying medicine methods. Healing is first of all about opening our thoughts and rising our energetic field. It is about finding who we really are and what are our deepest needs.
With TRE she realized that it is also about connecting with and through your own Body to the Self, the others and the Universe around.
She offers presence and guidance through your healing journey .

Location
The retreat will be held in Lugar do Bodhisattva, a wonderful retreat center in the green hills of Travanca, in Cinfães Portugal, one hour away from the city of Porto, in Northen Portugal.
The center was created to be a place of meditation and prayer for Franciscans and later when a Tibetan Buddhist monk arrived at the place the two spiritual traditions coexisted peacefully in this space.
The house is located next to a beautiful forest and has a wide garden with flowers, medicinal plants, fruits, and vegetables. -
