A Day in the Heart of the Goddess: Yoga and Kirtan Daylong Retreat with Uma & Mirabai @ Paradise Healing Center
Sep 29 @ 10:00 am – 4:30 pm

 

A Day in the Heart of the Goddess with Mirabai & Uma Reed

a Kirtan and Yoga Daylong Retreat in honor of Navaratri

Enjoy a day full of outdoor asana, pranayama & chanting

On Sunday, September 29, from 10am-4:30m, Uma and I will offer a daylong yoga, meditation, and devotion retreat. We will once again experience the day in the gorgeous natural surroundings of Paradise Healing Center in Lagunitas, California.

The timing of the retreat is just after the Autumn Equinox, and during the course of the High Holy Days of Judaism, as well as special dates in numerous other traditions. Most notably for us, it is the first day of the Hindu celebration of the Goddess, known as Navaratri, or Durga Puja. Uma and I will mark the beginning of this powerful nine-night festivity with a special daylong observance of  “A Day in the Heart of the Goddess.”

In the morning, Mirabai will lead us in a unique cleansing pranayama practice, followed by a strengthening asana session to fortify the body in preparation for the change of seasons, and pull the energy inward as we move into Autumn. In doing so, we honor the various qualities that devotion to Durga engenders, such as strength of will, self-discipline, and keeping balance throughout the ups and downs of life.

In keeping with the celebration of the Goddess in her various forms, Uma will be teaching a very beautiful devotional hymn to Durga, the Protectress who teaches us how to dispel our fears, the shining “Goddess of Pure Power.” We will learn the song in the traditional way that the scriptures are learned in India: learn the words first, the basic translation next, and then an “unfoldment” of the deeper meaning held within the words.

Daylong retreat:  $150 by Sept 15, $175 after 9/15

Students bring your own lunch, water & tea are provided.
