Winter Solstice Online Retreat
WINTER SOLSTICE INTENSIVE LIVE ON ZOOM
This winter we bring back the Virtual experience of a retreat.
Shaktipat transmissions will be given in combination with specific talks on various phenomenon and topics related to the awakening process, and practices from tantra yoga, as well as live Kirtan and chanting circles.
Live sessions will be held through Zoom and you can tune in through your phone app or computer. You will be supported to dive deep into this immersive experience from your own home. In case you require any assistance throughout the process our experienced team will be there to answer your questions, offer support and provide direct pointers during the Q & A section at the end of the live Satsang.
Why do we immerse ourselves in the practice during Winter Solstice?
It’s fascinating to notice how the mind expects life to be linear when all of nature is cyclical. Trees shed their leaves in the winter, to grow new in the spring, seeds grow according to the moon phases, bears come out of slumber after the winter months. We, the bodies, are also in and of nature. The function and evolution (kundalini) of our bodies should be expected to be cyclical. During winter solstice we experience energetic integration, which makes it a very special time of the year to immerse ourselves in the practice.
What is Kundalini?
Kundalini is what unfolds one’s capability to experience expanded states of consciousness, clear psychological & physiological blockages. It unleashes evolutionary mechanisms and accelerates all biological processes, enabling higher brain function. This process leads to Enlightenment and Self-Realization, establishing the being in nondual bliss awareness, Truth. Receiving Shaktipat Deeksha will set forth and clear the path of Kundalini.
Each day, one of the chakras will be our main point of focus. We willstart with yoga in the morning, stirring energy within and enabling better circulation. Later there will be a talk about the chakra, a Shaktipat session, followed up with Q&A. The transmission will facilitate Kundalini (ascension), cleansing of the five elements (Bhuta shuddhi), with a goal to pierce through all 7 chakras (Shat chakra nirupana).
The following Live Satsangs will be led by Yaari, Anuttara, Gyani or Hridaya with time for Questions and Answers at the end.
Also, if you cannot join any of the live calls they will be recorded and sent to you shortly after so you can practice on your own time.

– E-booklet containing all the schedule and information about the event, including chakra information and recommended readings;
– 25+ Live zoom calls (7 yoga classes + 7 Satsang sessions)

While Yoga asana and qigong might look quite different from the outside, their deepest guiding principles are the same. In my clesses we will explore these intersections and their potential to make our practice whole.
