NATURES RHYTHMS CO-CREATE OUR SCHEDULE

Live in rhythm with nature. The sun rises and we awaken along with jungle life. You will make your way down the path to the Yoga Shala to join meditation, soothing mindful movements and easeful stretching, and we circle together with intentions & elemental themes for the day. Then to breakfast, made with care and you in mind. You’ll swear breakfast never tasted so good! There will be three nourishing meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that meet your individual dietary needs, along with friendship & conversation. In between meals, there will be planned group activities as well as time for individual exploration & rest. We end the day in a final circle of sharing, story telling, and deep relaxation that softens your mind, heart and soul, to drift off to bed with the ocean & jungle as a lullaby.

There will be moments of wonder sprinkled throughout the retreat to guide towards your own source of inner sanctuary & magic.

Each day we will explore and anchor ourselves with an elemental theme EARTH, WATER, AIR, FIRE.
