Heartfelt and Joyful Living Retreat
IN PERSON OR ONLINE
With Swami Sivasankariananda
Are you ready to embrace yourself? Maybe you need a break from your worldly responsibilities or from a particular relationship? Maybe you are beginning to recognize patterns of habitual thinking that you’d like to shift? Step into a safe haven, a welcoming community, and relax. Really relax. Be yourself. Be nice to yourself.
In this retreat we care about what’s motivating you and your sense of belonging throughout the workshop.
Classical Yoga is about connection. On this retreat, connect with the inner experience of your physical body, connect with your hands in service, connect with beautiful nature all around and, of course, connect with your precious heart. Practice listening. Marvel at the richness of your own heart. Together we cultivate joy and acceptance. Taste the sweetness of kirtan and positive community. Sing. Feel. Open yourself to the miracle of living. It is all inside of you.
Students report they feel lighter, more relaxed and more connected to themselves and others after participating in this synthesis of authentic practices.
Each day begins and ends with Satsang; where we come together for relaxing guided meditations, inspirational chanting and thought-provoking talks on life and living.
This workshop is a commitment to yourself to listen more deeply. We hope you are able to join us.
