Sound to Silence
​Yoga & Silence Retreat

with Jagadambika 

Friday - Sunday
November 25-27, 2022

Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico

This Sound to Silence Retreat invites us to explore the power of Sacred Sound and it’s way of taking us into a state of awareness, internal silence and wisdom.

Through deep listening and the practice of withdrawing the senses, the beauty and sacredness of life becomes revealed.
We remember. We reconnect. We experience peace.
In an intimate setting we take a break from our daily life and constant interaction. Supported and in community, we open the space for exploring togetherness beyond words, for feeling ourselves and the connection to our own heart.
We chant. We study. We move. We explore the increase of vibration and bodily sensation through deep listening and the ancient practice of classical traditional Hatha Yoga including Breathwork (Pranayama) and Asanas. We feel nature. We meditate. We dive into hours of silence (mauna). We experience community.  We are joyful. We reflect. We nourish ourselves and each other.
This retreat does not require any previous Yoga, Meditation, or Silence Experience. Everyone who brings a sincere desire to find calm, reconnect and feel loved is welcome!

WHO IS OFFERING THE RETREAT?
Jagadambika Alisa lives and shares the traditional paths of Yoga, its practice and philosophy in programs worldwide and holds space for the online community: The Bhakti Family which supports individuals on their recognition of their divine nature. 
Discovering the spiritual path during her degree in Mathematics, she went to India to learn about Yoga. Having found many answers to her longing for a deeper meaning, ever since her teacher training in the Sivananda Ashram in Neyyar Dam (Kerala - India) in 2014, she explores Self discovery and shares her knowledge with love and full attention. Over the last years Jagadambika lived in Germany, Mexico and ashrams in different locations including the Bahamas, Colombia and New York, studying and teaching Yoga Philosophy and how to invite divinity into our daily life. 
Inspired by her personal practice and spiritual guidance, she shares Yoga and Kirtan wherever she goes. Mantra Music, Invocation, Música Medicina and the practice of deep listening influence  her sound creations, in which she uses the voice as an instrument to free oneself from any limiting condition and detach from a personified identity. Her channeled melodies enable the receptive listener to explore heart openings and receive guidance into shapeless silence. 
Through teaching how to play the harmonium worldwide, she has encouraged many to share the power of Bhakti Yoga, the path of love and devotion, in their local communities and homes .
