For over 20 years the majority of participants in my in person classes have enrolled for a 10 session term. This has given us the opportunity to experience the richness of exploring an overarching theme. Feedback over the years has affirmed that this is valuable and helpful so I am inviting you to our ongoing journey in this mode of online recordings. \n\n\n\nEach 3 month period offers within it one or two overarching themes that provide a focus for our practice together (to see what has been offered since autumn 2020 please scroll down).  \n\n\n\nYou can join the current journey (seed) and add as much additional content as you would like. Some of the previous yoga journey themes are also offered as courses so feel free to check those out also.

Of its many definitions\, the most pertinent is the gleaming fluid secreted from the pineal gland during deep states of spiritual practice and identifying with the moon. \n\n\n\nThe Soma Sessions integrally connect you to the lunar phases and energies through specific Asana\, Pranayama and meditation techniques to bring you closer to these intuitive states and a joyful sense of calm. \n\n\n\nDuring the Soma Sessions\, we practice together under the influence of the waning and waxing moon.

The research about the use of Mantra for the mind is wonderful and ever-growing. The vibrational pattern of our mind is based on sounds and words. Each word is associated with certain emotions\, experiences\, feelings and thoughts. Feelings and thoughts give additional meaning to words\, rooting them in a deeper memory. Moreover\, the inner voice also controls the mind. Therefore\, the calm inner sound\, which can be achieved through mantra\, can still the mind. Unlike the inner thoughts or words\, the repetition of mantras does not evoke emotional responses; instead\, it causes a unidirectional reduced activation of cortical networks leading to a basic state of rest (Berkovich-Ohana et al.\, 2015). \n\n\n\nMantra also allows us to connect the mind\, external and internal speech\, and ultimately achieve connection with the environmental and universal sound vibrations. \n\n\n\nSound is the vehicle of Transcendence that we will explore for this meditation retreat. Here\, we shall use Mantra to facilitate the flow of prana through the marma points\, an important tool of marma therapy. Mantras protect marma points\, called “kavacha” in Sanskrit and so we use Mantra or sound to heal and protect certain vulnerable areas in the body. \n\n\n\nThis retreat will introduce you to Mantra Purusha\, a daily practice that can be used to implement Mantra and the ancient Sanskrit alphabet into the body’s sound vibration and to heal each marma point. \n\n\n\nThis Ayurvedic practice can be used to achieve many different goals\, such as greater self-awareness\, inner peace\, spiritual growth\, and enlightenment. Do join us for this very special end of year retreat.
