ABOUT:
Join Mana and Silvia for a five day retreat in the medieval French countryside. Immerse yourself in nature, yogic practices, and the awakening energy of Spring to ignite Shakti, your creative and spiritual life-force.
Awakening Shakti is the unlocking of your innate power, creativity, intuition, and inner strength through yoga, meditation and spiritual discipline. This awakening can lead to expanded consciousness, deep healing, a sense of profound aliveness, and the dissolution of the ego’s limitations.
As Spring unfolds around you, this retreat mirrors the season’s own rhythm of rebirth and renewal. Just as buds push through the earth and new life emerges, you will be guided to release what no longer serves you, awaken your dormant potential, and step into a more vibrant, aligned version of yourself. Through the practices of Himalayan Kriya Yoga, pranayama, meditation, and mindful connection with nature, you will cultivate clarity, presence, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Let the gentle energy of Spring inspire transformation — rooting deeply into the Earth while rising into your fullest expression of Shakti. Reconnect with your body, your breath, and the living world around you, and leave this retreat rejuvenated, inspired, and ready to bloom into the season ahead.
