A 5 day Retreat experience for everyone searching for a heart connection with lovers of community and sacred living...
When we gather with inspiring humans and learn the art of being in the moment, our inert potential of loving others and ourselves, reveals.
Our potential to feel loved is experienced.
Through the practice of sacred sounds and chanting, meditation, breath work, Yoga and touch, let us explore how wide our hearts can open.
As we explore the effect of sound taking us into silence, we will enter into one day of silence.
This retreat offers a safe space to immerse yourself in the guided practices of Yoga and Sound Healing and may serve you as a moment to retreat yourself, disconnect with all that doesn't serve you any more and connect you to your inner strength and the softness of our human experience.
Together we open the space to share and reflect, nourish and awaken.
Feel invited to be nourished. This retreat is a call to awaken to love! There is nothing to loose in loving.

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 . |
