REGISTRATION OPEN
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, Pranayama, Yoga, Healing Dance and touch, let us explore how wide our hearts can open.
From here, as a means to understand that all our explorations are experiences that move us, heal us and ultimately happen inside of us, we let sound take us into one day of silence... enabling us to digest, introspect, integrate.
This retreat offers a safe space to immerse yourself in the guided practices of Yoga and healing sound 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.
