Breath of Life
I breathe in All That Is
Awareness expanding
To take everything in,
As if my heart beats
The world into being
From the unnamed
Vastness beneath the
Mind, I breathe my
Way to wholeness
And healing
Inhalation. Exhalation.
Each breath a “yes”,
And a letting go,
A journey, and a
Coming home
~Danna Faulds
Create time and space to tune into your breath, free your mind, nurture your body and reconnect with yourself. This week long retreat, held in the mountains of Slovenia, will help you press the reset button within. Set on 23 hectares of lush organic farm land with enchanting woodlands and wild meadows, this energetically charged space is the perfect getaway to rejuvenate the senses and recharge your soul
Partake in sunrise meditation, a rigorous morning vinyasa yoga to energize you, daily self-nurturing activities and restorative evening yoga practice to help you sleep like a baby. Breathe in the fresh mountain air as you enjoy the natural swimming pond with magical valley views. Join the group or venture out yourself on scenic nature walks along special energy vortexes. All activities are optional as it is time for you after all. There will also be guided visualization and journaling, a cleansing fire ceremony, yoga nidra and a deep sound healing journey
Morning yoga and meditation sessions will take place outdoors alongside the natural pond overlooking the alpine mountains. In the evenings, sessions will take place indoors, in a well equipped studio with endless valley views.
Become reacquainted with yourself on an inspiring journey through nature, where you will be able to tune out in order to tune into yourself. Our surroundings will help us become more present, as we strive for in our yoga practice
