Date and Location TBA

With Great Respect and Love, I welcome you all to this retreat.

“Relationship”. When we hear this word, we often think of relating to another, a beloved, and intimate partner. When we separate from our beloved, we usually feel intense pain and a sense of loss or emptiness. We are always seeking union and oftentimes it is with another. Everything in this universe wants to find it’s compliment. We want to feel full again. We are needing something to feel complete and often we look to relationship with another.

But what about the relationship to ourselves?
What about finding fulfillment and love inside first?

The truth about relationship is that we are always in a state of relating. On a daily basis we relate to ourselves and everything around us. The form of any relationship will change as we evolve and grow but the relating never stops. Our practice in any relationship is to let go of our attachments to a particular form and keep the relating.

In this retreat, I invite you to explore the relationship to yourself, your shakti “energy”, your Divine Beauty, you innate Beauty and Goodness, the love of yourself in your own heart.

In this retreat, we will step deep into our hearts with the intention of seeking beauty and strengthening self love.
And we will draw from the commitment to deepen that relationship between you and that love.

Through this we will bring about healing and a sense of completeness and wholeness…and do it with total freedom in the heart.

We will practice Anusara-Inspired yoga as a medium to experience and feel this total freedom in the Heart: to glorify the shatkti (energy) and the divinity in ourselves and ultimately with everyone and everything.

There is a pulsation of life energy (shakti) within all of us. We receive and offer love as that pulsation, as an exchange of the joy of Being. This is the natural spontaneous play of Consciousness. This is the highest. When we remember this, everything becomes a vehicle to express your heart.

When we infuse our practice with love from ourselves, for ourselves, the outer pose arises from inside. You become an expression of your heart. Your pose becomes an embodiment of your heart and Ultimate Freedom can be experienced.

We will connect to and strengthen this love through yoga asana, pranayama, mantra, meditation, writing and Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of Love and Devotion.

“We will make great efforts to look deep into our hearts. We will open the treasure chest that waits for us there and explore the magnificent gems it contains. Bliss is yours when you experience your own true nature.”
