HOLISTIC WEEK
Become Art, Illuminate the World
October 12–18 | Portal das Artes · Funchal · Madeira Island
The deepest art is not limited to canvases or stages.
It lives in the authentic gesture, in deep listening, in shared silence.
To become art is to live with presence, to create with truth, and to allow what moves us… to move the world.
To illuminate the world is to light small flames within ourselves that inspire others to do the same.
This is the invitation of the 5th edition of Holistic Week:
a journey of conscious creation, where body, mind and soul meet in expression, care and celebration.
Throughout seven days, we’ll share experiences that awaken and inspire:
• Yoga and meditation as practices of presence
• Creative workshops and artistic journeys
• Music, dance, sharing, rituals and poetry
• Silence, nature and soulful connection
Come co-create this space of living art.
Become presence.
Become light.

Facilitators
Marika Mankinem
Being art, for me, is living with presence and listening.
It’s tuning the body as if it were an instrument and allowing the soul to paint, sing, breathe, and expand.
Life itself is pure creative energy, and when we open to this force that lives within us, we touch something sacred.
We become channels of beauty, truth, and light. We become art... and by being art, we illuminate the world."
During this Holistic Week, I will be at the service of this invitation to authentic expression – guiding yoga practices, moments of sharing and awareness, and creating spaces for inner and outer creation, where body, voice, and heart meet to create, feel, and transform.
Lidiane Dualibi
Art is a necessity of the spirit. Breathing is a vital necessity.
I'm Lidiane Duailibi – singer, plant-based chef, woman enchanted by life.
Enchantment is the thread that runs through everything I do. I believe in art as food for the soul, in breathing as a bridge to the present, and in living food as a gesture of care and love.
In Holistic Week, I bring this vision: that each note, each breath, each flavor can awaken in you the beauty of being alive.
May I, with my art, contribute to your enchantment.
Sofia Cafofo
Yoga and meditation teacher
Yoga reveals our True Essence. Through the practice, we allow everything superficial to settle until the light of our being remains.
It’s as if we remember that the spiritual journey – and life itself – begins in light and dissolves back into light.
Teresa Patrício
Yoga and Meditation Teacher, passionate about nature and long walks.
Yoga is always a path towards harmony.
Hridaya Hatha Yoga emphasizes deep self-awareness, creating space for a true inner journey with each practice.
Everyone is welcome, regardless of experience level, body shape, or age.
Throughout the entire session, you will be guided to ensure that you feel comfortable and supported in your practice
Paula Filipa
"The spontaneous actors of the drama produce the characters while freeing themselves from them at the same time." – J.L. Moreno
I’m Paula Filipa, a clinical and health psychologist, actress, dancer, music lover, cinephile, and passionate about all that is art.
Psychodrama is a therapeutic tool in psychology that can be approached playfully, considering the totality of the human being – body, mind, emotions, relationships, and social context.
Rooted in a holistic vision, psychodrama proposes dramatic action as a form of integral expression of the self, seeking the light that illuminates the human psyche – without judgment, observing, feeling, and consciously transforming the theatre of inner life, allowing emotions to be freely expressed and transformed.
Sonia Gouveia
I believe that "Being Art" is allowing the body to speak what words cannot reach.
It is presence, listening, transformation.
The body is home, temple, path. Being art is listening to this body with truth, letting it guide us inward and towards others.
Dancing is lighting up spaces where there is shadow, making the invisible visible.
I invite each participant to inhabit movement as a way to connect with their essence – and in this way, "illuminate the world" from within.
Norberto Cruz
Healing Expression
After facing and overcoming cancer twice, I understood that true healing is not limited to the physical body: it is born from an inner certainty that it is possible to be reborn.
The "Healing Expression" therapy integrates visualization, breathwork, and deep connection, offering a path to experience not just hope but a true sense of healing – leaving no room for doubt.
In this process, each person is guided to breathe consciously, visualize harmony within the body, and strengthen the connection with oneself and with what gives life meaning.
Thus, we transform the experience of illness into an awakening for complete healing – involving body, mind, spirit, and heart.
Luisa Gonçalves
Specialist in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
Where there is Art, there is Life!
Qi Gong is one of the many arts that are part of our history, the Earth’s history, this wonderful place that supports our life, helping us connect more with our body, our mind, and our feelings.
This millenary art, born and developed in China, aims at the development and mastery of Qi (life energy) through gentle and slow movements, promoting the free circulation of Qi and Blood throughout the body, bringing numerous benefits to our physical and mental health, allowing us to know ourselves better.
Cristina Benn
Hi, I’m Cristina and I’m here to help you navigate stress and find a path of more calm and care in your daily life.
I invite you to the stress relief class: a space to slow down, breathe deeply, and feel lighter, more grounded, and at peace.
Veronica Bastidas
Woman of the Andes. Therapist specialized in Psychogenealogy and Biodecoding. Conscious support for Women in Transition. Reiki Master.
Women of the Earth: Indigenous Wisdom and the Healer’s Elements
Based on the wisdom of the women who walked before us, this experience connects us with the Ancestral Art of Healing in a simple and accessible language, because our role as Women is to be the Healers of the Earth!

Body on Stage: Improvisation and Theatre Techniques for Children and Youth
Theatre is a space of freedom for the body, the voice, and the soul. A space for reflection and welcoming all ways of being and feeling.
So much ours that it’s hard to say where it ends and we begin. Before being art, we are expression: we experiment, play, improvise.
We spend our lives improvising.
Why not do it with the presence and curiosity of a child playing make-believe?
Raquel Moreira
"Singing is expression, movement, and action.
Singing frees and heals.
Singing with the voice and with the body.
A voice of matter and Soul.
Connection with the world, with ourselves and with others.
Exploring, traveling through tones, sounds, and emotions.
Your voice, a seed of light in the Universe.
Let it sprout, grow, and inspire."
Fernão Pereira
Beekeeper and Yoga Teacher
I connect deeply with nature and the serenity of life.
In my free time, I explore mountains and ancient trails, finding moments of pure presence in the tranquility and generosity of the natural world.
I believe life is best lived with simplicity, awareness, and gratitude.
Frederica Valente-Perfeito
I create spaces of movement, conscious breathing, and reflection where each person is invited to listen to the body, release emotions, and reconnect with their essence.
In Ecstatic Dance, we dive into music as a channel for free expression, without judgments, only presence and truth.
The invitation is simple: Dance life, recognize your own light… and allow it to expand.
Sophiia Dehe
In Western culture, our connection to the mystical has been suppressed by the rise of materialism.
Our sensitivity has been overshadowed by our mental capacity, driven by growing scientific knowledge.
We have chosen to believe only in what we can see, dismissing the possibility of an unseen world of spirits.
The Occidental Awakening project explores the universality of our spiritual connection.
As the West offers little culturally to nurture our relationship with the mystic, we turn to fragments from other cultures that have preserved their traditions, hoping they will help us understand our experiences with the mystical.
Susana Nunes Freitas
"Education is not the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire." – William Butler Yeats
Being a mother, being a father, is an art that we learn, feel, and transform every day.
It is in the simple gesture, in active listening, and in the present gaze that the light we offer to the world begins: our children.
Positive Parenting invites us to educate with empathy, respect, firmness, and lots of love, recognizing in each child a unique being, in constant growth.
Together we will discover how we can, with art and intention, be a light for our children and, with them, illuminate the world.
