The experience

Vida Desperta is a community volunteer program focused on self-knowledge and the awakening of the essence. The proposal brings together contemplative practices (meditation, yoga, silence and mantras), interactive experiences (dance, connection games, massages and sharing) and spaces for co-creation and authentic expression, encouraging the discovery of gifts and talents. The work is seen as a practice of presence in daily life, with the invitation to live consciously.
