GUIDED BY SILVIA MORDINI AND HAJI BASIM BALI YOGA RETREAT APRIL 22-29,2018
THE THEME OF THIS RETREAT LET LOVE LEAD
Yoga reminds us the answer is love. ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE - THE BEATLES
WHAT IS THIS RETREAT IS ABOUT If life feels like its sped up but you re in slow motion, that is a good indicator that you need to take a time out to align what your life feels like with what it looks like. The fastest way to rest is to Surrender. Surrender to what? To Love. The question is, are you ready to let go to Let Love Lead? Letting go is a daily practice. Try it for a week with our support. In Bali we empty out the residue that clog up the arteries of our hearts so we can live from love. We will lose our addictions, especially to worry. We will let go of the addiction to ANYthing that makes us numb (too much TV, internet, lack of sleep, low vibe food, and more.) We will allow ourselves time to surrender to what we really feel instead of numbing it out or running away from it. In other words, we will Let Love Lead. Join Haji and Silvia in the ultimate Alchemy of Love Retreat on the island of love, Bali!
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT Do you believe LOVE is the answer to living a life with meaning? You will again after spending a week with Silvia Mordini & Haji Basim! During our 8-days dedicated to the Alchemy of Love we will explore the transformative power of lovingkindness and feel how the rich, Balinese culture integrates this into all aspects of life. Here you will find flowers and smiles for miles and miles, a Namaste throughout the day. The wafting of sweet incense following your every movement. And our Chief Love Alchemists Silvia Mordini and Haji Basim will hold space for your personal evolution, healing and joy. Our home for the week is a luxury, Villa Shanti set amongst rice fields on the outskirts of Ubud the cultural and arts epicenter of the island. With spacious, elegant individual bedrooms, a private spa, and rice field paths to trek, this will serve as the perfect place to be as close to the action as you like, but still remain in the tranquility of nature. You will have ample time to do as much or as little as you desire. Together we will enjoy traditional Balinese dance performances, temple visits, hikes through the countryside, sing medicine songs, meditate with the sunrise and practice heart opening yoga including vinyasa, restorative and workshop style classes.
