WANDERING YOGI KARUNA RETREAT
THURSDAY 9 MAY – SUNDAY 12 MAY 2019
US$820 PER PERSON*
*excludes airfares & incidentals
Leave behind the ‘busyness’ of life, creating space to relax and recharge, this 4 day/3 night retreat will help spiritually and energetically decompress, connect back to ourselves.
For 4 days, we will be amongst nature, elemental but not basic. Simple, but not simplistic.
This retreat has been designed around two of the four immeasurables in Buddhist Dharma: Karuna (compassion), mudita (appreciative joy). For many of us, this starts with becoming more mindful.
What is in store?
Patanjali’s petals – Yoga and meditation, every morning and early evening, every day in our very private and energy inspiring yoga sala.- Engaging Dharma – practical workshops on improving meditation and mindful techniques, including breathwork, visualisations and nada (sound). Why karuna and mudita seem to come together so naturally.
- Being Sattva – vegetarian/vegan meals; nutritious, soul-affirming. Ubud is the contemporary vegetarian capital of the world, forget those old ideas of mung beans and tofu.
- Vihara space to renunciate and be mindful – quiet zones, meditation pods, two swimming pools, river, water temple within walking distance, rice paddy fields (of course)
- Community AUM (almighty universal magnetic) – laughing yoga with the local Balinese village, welcome traditional ceremony
- Parigraha – shopping in artisan villages for that special painting, silver or wood carving. Or simply a drop in to the shopping mecca that is Ubud town.
And of course there are sangha boundaries in place for the duration of the retreat, which enable our minds to ‘defog’, like restriction of digital connection to 1 hour morning and evening, no alcohol on premises, and no smoking.
Be part of the group for some or none of the activities. Up to you. This is your recharge time, we simply hold the space for you to come and go as you please. Bring your partner, lover or friend, even if they do not do yoga poses, all else yoga is there for them. That is one of the unique features of WY Viharas.
