Webster defines retreat as “an act or process of withdrawing especially from what is difficult, dangerous, or disagreeable”. As I was pondering this definition in relationship for a spiritual retreat, I see many similarities. The world we live in often feels difficult, dangerous and definitely disagreeable. Let’s take some time to withdraw from that reality to reconnect with our own hearts in a deep profound way. The Sanskrit word for the Heart Chakra is Anahata. One of the meanings of Anahata is unstruck. Anahata is making a sound without striking & although this seems impossible, it is the meaning of this word. It also may feel impossible to connect back into the depths of your heart, the place where you are truly luminous & completely WHOLE…but it is possible with the right support, correct setting and nourishing practices you can access that deep luminous heart center! Using the simple tools of Yoga Nidra and restorative yoga we will spend time to restore and revitalize our physical, mental and emotional being. We will explore heart opening experiences in morning asana gatherings and meditation to assist you to reconnect and open your own Anahata Chakra. And for those who would like, you will create your own Anahata Chakra Mandala. We will also utilize the beauty of this special setting to both restore us and to go within. Some of the places on this unique land we can access are: The Chartres Labyrinth and the 7-Circuit Labyrinth which are sacred tools to open one's heart, to receive insights, inspiration and healing, and to connect with one's Higher Self. Being one with your heart and listening inward is a benefit of just being on this sacred land! This Place is magical!!!!
