Spring is here! Everything is born and renewed.
It is the same for us. After a winter marked by stagnation, accumulation and conservation of energies, it is time to get rid of the overflow and take a regenerating break: Ayurveda teaches us that in the spring, there is aggravation of the Kapha dosha. Think of Kapha as a piece of ice: when it melts in the spring, it becomes water and spreads everywhere, causing overweight, fatigue, asthma, allergies, colds and indigestion, sometimes depression and stress.
Whether it's body or mind, the season requires that we find harmony again, detox, destress and disconnect in the silence and nature of Provence
4-DAY-3-NIGHT RETREAT: WHAT TO EXPECT?
During these few days, you’ll be immersed in nature and the perfect Provençal silence. At the foot of the Luberon in Gordes, you’ll gift yourself a well-being break to detoxify, de-stress and disconnect.
Expect morning fitness yoga, pranayama (breathwork) to renew your vital energy, different meditations to harmonise and trigger the parasympathetic system, an introduction to mantras, sound baths to float in peace and balance the nervous system, a workshop on detoxifying and soothing local kitchen plants, a meditative walk in the garrigues but also resources to understand stress and get rid of toxins whether physical, mental or emotional, so that you can take this wealth of health and bliss with you to apply it at home.
The Organisers
We organize these holistic wellness experiences, weaving our combined offerings of yoga, breathwork, meditation, creative explorations and movements in music, sound baths, ceremonies and dance, driven by a vision of inclusion and brotherhood for each of us to realize our own nature. Our mission as retreat guides is to create a sacred, protected and safe space to support each participant wherever they are on their path of healing and self-discovery.
Nad is a certified yoga teacher (YTT 500) as well as an acupuncturist in traditional Chinese medicine.
