August Silent Integral Yoga Retreat in Bolinas @ Commonweal
Aug 22 @ 4:30 pm – Aug 25 @ 12:30 pm
August Silent Integral Yoga Retreat in Bolinas @ Commonweal | Bolinas | California | United States

The natural beauty of the ocean side, sacred Native American grounds, the timeless wisdom and practices of Integral Yoga, and the power of silence will all serve to create a harmonious environment to undertake the inward journey. The silence, which is observed by all the retreat participants, shields one from external involvement, allowing the mind to go inward and be still. In this stillness, the wisdom of the heart emerges and our True Self comes into flower. The days will consist of Hatha Yoga, workshops, meditations, and evening programs with time for walks, and delicious vegetarian meals.

We have kirtan artist Mirabai Warkulwiz spending the weekend with us leading chanting, Claudia Barstch leading Hatha Yoga classes, and Swami Arivananda leading workshops and meditations. Hope you can join us!

Retreat begins at 5pm on Thursday and ends at 12:30pm on Sunday.

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.

Kirtan and Meditation at Integral Yoga:  7pm-8:30pm

Come together with the Integral Yoga community for an evening of kirtan and meditation.  Mirabai will offer call and response chants on harmonium and guitar accompanied by other guest musicians.

Kirtan helps us to focus the mind and open the heart and clear our emotional states so we can let go of the mental gripping and drop into a deeper place of peace in the heart.  The Integral Yoga community has always been dear to Mirabai’s heart, it’s where she did her first 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2004.
