4-days Deep Ecology & Yoga, Golden Bay 2023

ACTIVE HOPE: Join us for an extraordinary, heart-felt journey into enhanced connection and empowerment through Deep Ecology & Yoga 

*

RETREAT CONTENT

During this 4-day/3-night residential gathering we will be touching our innermost responses to the condition of our world and reconnecting with our sense of wonder for the web of life.  Strengthened by generations past and encouraged by those yet to come, we can tap our own deep awareness and creativity to chart a course for taking action in a way that brings us alive.

Inna will guide us through experiential practices, poetry, ritual, song, movement and silence to guide our journey through the four stages of the spiral of the Work That Reconnects. These four stages support one another and help us experience first hand that we are larger, stronger, deeper, and more creative than we have been brought up to believe.

We will support our journey with yogic practices lead by Swami Karma Karuna. Guided practices include Asana, Pranayama, Yoga Nidra, and Meditation.

Drawing on the work of Joanna Macy, John Seed and Arne Naess this workshop will empower you to act on behalf of Earth with clarity, love and direction.

No previous experience in Yoga or Deep Ecology necessary.
