Savor time immersed in spiritual practice with fellow seekers in silent community while exploring deep connection with the elements in nature.
Earth, water, fire, air and space create our external environment and are the building blocks of our own bodies. Invite vibrations of healing instruments, mantras and yoga practices honoring these elements to bring you into greater alignment and invigorate the layers of your being. Prepare yourself for the busyness of summer in a sacred container of social silence at an 1800’s farmhouse by the sea.
Sound tools and mantra are technologies for healing and meditation used across many different cultures and traditions for thousands of years. They invoke a sacred connection to the fabric of our reality. They also serve to bring the nervous system deeply into the parasympathetic state.
Exposure to these higher frequencies within a container of social silence is a powerful combination, inviting a deeply meditative inquiry throughout the weekend.
This is profound invitation to allow for insights from the depths of the winter months to arise as we continue our walk towards lighter days. Resting in a container of social silence allows our being to be nourished and nurtured in a unique way.
Throughout each day, there will be opportunities to honor and embrace relationship with each element by engaging in ritual, guided meditations, and sacred mantras.
There will also be free time to explore the intertidal trail along the shore, cold plunge off the floating dock or simply rest and find rejuvenation in solitude and the arms of Mother Nature.
No experience necessary. All levels welcome.
