RetiroBurgos

Possibly this century, full of rush and material aspects, is the one in which experiences of personal growth have gained more importance. For this reason, at RetiroBurgos, we address these and others of a cultural nature that are not only aimed at adults but are also designed for children.

Examples of our activities are:

- Weekend retreats held in different towns throughout the province. We approach them from different points of view, such as conscious listening and interaction through massage, yoga, sound, dance...

- Walks around the city without age limit. One of our favorites is based on cinema, starting with the projection of a film and then delving into specific details that can be seen among the streets themselves.

- Children's camps: with yoga as a central element, in which we tell stories from prehistory or share workshops. We also organize these activities individually, without them having to be part of a camp.

A city always has stories to tell us but at RetiroBurgos we want to show them to you from a cinematographic perspective. It will be the seventh art that guides us through our city and serves as a connecting link for everything that we are going to explain to you.

Alberto San Martín will be the one who coordinates our visit. Graduated in History, specialized in prehistory, he will contextualize a moment in time that we will have previously seen in a film or documentary, depending on the occasion. That's just where we start:

- When choosing the film we will have taken into account its historical content, as well as its social, economic and artistic components. They will be the ones that we can later move to the city.

- We visit on foot the section of Burgos that is most related to what we have seen. Alberto will guide us throughout the entire process.

- We put ourselves in a position between streets and emblematic places, attending to the explanations and representing the role we choose to have an open debate about everything we are learning.

At RetiroBurgos we move away from the general idea of camp to offer something more to our participants. Our children, who must be between 7 and 12 years old, are going to learn about themselves and their environment. All of this will take place throughout the second fortnight of July, in Portillo de Busto.

- Our goal: that the little ones begin to become aware of who they are and take pride in their being. They will approach this profound experience between playful dynamics, meditation, yoga and workshops in which we remember prehistory, among other teachings. That's why they evolve without realizing it.

- The use of English: essential knowledge that we will use as a vehicle for many of the activities, there are no classes as such, so the participants function in the Anglo-Saxon language naturally.

- Monitors and teachers: we all have a high level of specialization in dealing with children and in the application of knowledge of certain subjects, from Clara Martín, psychologist and teacher who has delved into yoga, to Dorien Jongsma, graduate in geography, expert in workshops in English, among others, to Alberto San Martín, known for his work in Atapuerca, graduate in history, to Doris Gutiérrez, certified instructor, responsible basketball training and specialist in yoga, meditation and massage.

- Programming: we will get up at 8:30 in the morning to make the most of the day, we will start the games or workshops at 10 a.m., we eat at 2 p.m., We continue with the activities until dinner at 9 p.m. and we relax or organize evenings before going to sleep at 10:45 p.m.

Don't get lost because seat reservations end on June 1.
