Karuna
1 day Autumn ritual retreat with Simon Rowe

Treat yourself to this special 1 day retreat to nourish your body, mind and soul. Align with the energetic transition into Autumn during a soulful journey through gentle and fluid Yoga, conscious movement, dynamic breathwork and sacred sound. Embody the wisdom of Autumn as you release rigidity, soften and surrender to the soothing rhythm of your own intuitive, creative flow.

Included in this retreat is a delicious shared lunch in the comfy huiskamer at the school.

Movement meditation
During this day we will enjoy long, slow and soulful embodied journeys that invite you to move deeper into a harmonious state of heightened consciousness. Dive into “Sahaja“ free-form flow sequences to experience the transformative effect of conscious movement as medicine for body, mind and soul. Experience how the holistic blend of movement, breath, attention, sensation and sacred sound will draw you deeper into a state of conscious flow, a moving meditation.

Karuna
Drawing from the wisdom of Ayurveda, the ancient science of well-being, this one day retreat offers a remedy for Autumn's changing winds that can bring restlessness and un-groundedness. Let the rhythmic fusion of movement and sound melt away resistance and open your heart to the current of love and compassion (Karuna). Give yourself to the river of sacred sound during magical mantra and song circles so you can bathe in the vibration of oneness and connection.

Sahaja
The epic sound of live and supportive music will infuse the retreat with a sense of sacred connection. Embrace your authenticity, surrender to the spontaneity of Sahaja, where genuine connection unfolds in the dance of consciousness. Embody your freedom, move and be moved by hypnotic rhythms, soundscapes and music to support you as you dive deeper into your embodied journey. Let yourself relax totally during the sound baths, opening yourself to the healing sounds and connecting to the wisdom within your own heart.

Om Shanti
