Join Malaika MaVeena Darville and John de Kadt to deep dive into the sacred arts of our ancestors, Yoga, Dance, Song, Story & Silence~ integral parts of all mystical traditions.
This retreat is for anyone who longs & loves to be more embodied, anyone who yearns to feel more alive and for all who thirst for evolution of the heart. Together you will explore somatic yoga movement, dance, song, wisdom stories and silence to journey deeper into yourselves and the healing tapestry of community.
This retreat is for students and teachers alike to immerse yourself and experience how these timeless practices open our hearts and bodies and create the connection to self and others we so long for.
In the words spoken by the great anthropologist Angeles Arien;
“In many Shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine healer complaining of being disheartened, dispirited or depressed they would ask one of four questions; ‘When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence?” This profoundly reminds us of the importance of these ancient traditions to restore the imbalances caused by our contemporary societies."
