Shakti Rising Yoga Retreat Rishikesh
DATES TBA
with Fabio Fabbri and Natalia Perera
Join Fabio and Natalia on their return back to this most sacred place where the river Ganga comes out of the Himalayan mountains, the symbol of the divine union of Shiva and Shakti, whose energy is so palpable here in Rishikesh. At the tail end of the monsoon, where Nature is at its cleanest, we will stay 8 nights in a beautiful house in the forest, practice Yoga every day, meditate on the banks of the river, play with creativity and wander through this lush Himalayan setting and its charming Hindu villages.
(We don't look quite like that anymore, we are slightly older! But the sentiment is still the same)
The perfect opportunity to escape the mundane and pay homage to the ancient Yogis, to align yourself with their tradition, walk in their steps and experience personally this land so rich with history, natural beauty and deep culture. We will begin with a Sankalpa - an intention - be it for healing or for reinventing an area of your life, for exploring possibilities in your life or for finding inspiration in the day to day. You are invited to dive deep into a zone that is transformative with Fabio leading the Yoga and Natalia leading the Meditations whilst basking in the magnificence of Shakti, the divine feminine creative force.

We begin each morning with a practice and end each day with a practice and a circle of play with creative exercises and group sharing. In between, there will be time to walk down and lay on the river banks, hike through the forest, wander into the village and shop, partake in sacred ceremonies, visit temples and ancient caves, read, sketch or simply hang out in a chai shop... like you can only in India. The pace is made for simple pleasures.
This retreat is designed for slowing down, going deeper in your practice, taking time for mindfulness, creativity and reflection, and for enjoying the spirit of India. We will explore the theme of Shakti and the importance of creativity in our lives and how to find and trust your own authentic process, be it for your own fulfilment, for fostering powerful positive change in yourself or for sharing more of who you are with the world. All the while, we will be taken care of and nourished with wholesome, home made, delicious Ayurvedic food by our local hosts. |
