The Metamorphosis
*Registration closes July 15
So often in our modern world, we are conditioned to perceive our reality through a fragmented lens that: severs body and mind from spirit: segregates science from the sacred, separates culture from planet: disconnects self from others. This false sense of separation can result in feelings of isolation, depletion, loss of identity, disconnection from the full potential of our own aliveness, and the magic that is occurring within each and every moment.
This retreat is a time to unearth the sacred connections of our inner and outer worlds, attuning to the rhythms of nature by living in harmony with the land and recognizing the familiar tune of Mother Earth in the sound of our own heart beat. One of the most fertile grounds to unearth these sacred connections is where the abundance of Primary Costa Rican Jungle and the sacred waters of the Caribbean sea meet in the magical Punta Mona! Punta Mona is a family-owned, off-grid farm and educational retreat center in one of the most bio-diverse permaculture farms in Central America. It is here that we will break the social constructs of separation and scarcity to recognize the wildly abundant and sacred interconnection of all of life, and birth a new way of Being.
Return home to your true Self through:
- Disconnecting from modern chaos, stress, and demands.
- Living harmoniously with nature in one of the most bio-diverse areas on planet earth .
- Syncing into the natural rhythms both within and around you.
- Unifying ancient wisdom traditions with modern science.
- Deepening your connections through sacred ceremonies.
- Honoring the medicine of elemental wisdom.
- Exploring the ever changing flow of aliveness through embodiment practices.
- Tapping into the full potential of being human through psychosomatic techniques.
- Healing and transformation by building a conscious community.
This retreat is for both experienced and novice yogis/inis alike, sure to offer new insights, new depths, new connections to all.
Join Ashley and Jot Anant for a transformational, soul nourishing journey of unearthing sacred connections with your true Self, Mother Earth, and conscious community. Together we will unify inner with outer, science with sacred, uncovering the truth that all that exists within nature also exists within you. There is no separation. It is all one and the same. Inextricably interconnected!
