Sounding The Body To Well-Being: Integrating Mindfulness, Yoga And Therapeutic Sound:A loosely structured retreat with the support of guided daily practices

This is an invitation to slow down and retreat with the support of two optional daily practices, a sound journey, time for solitude, silence and individual connection to support you through the weekend. Despina will be offering two yoga classes per day which include meditation, breathwork and therapeutic sound (morning and evening) with plenty of time to retreat at your own pace. Yoga and meditation can be experienced as a practice of cultivating well-being. We will be exploring Yin, gentle hatha and restorative yoga, breathwork, therapeutic sound and mindfulness practices. Intentional sounds like in a sound journey intend to invite us into a deeper state of listening and meditation that transcends the thinking mind. It is a beautiful practice to listen deeply to harmonic sounds such as in nature and give ourselves fully to the experience of embodied listening - full body listening. The truth of all things resides in the vibration and resonance made from one single sound. Combining these practices of movement, stillness and sound creates powerful possibilities for insight, transformation and healing for the body, mind, and heart. Breakfast and dinner will be in silence.
