Ayurveda Retreat in Costa Rica Reminder

[Guest guest]

Greetings,

My name is Joshua and I live in an intentional community in Costa Rica

called True Nature. I just wanted to remind everyone that this year

our community is hosting an Ayurveda retreat at our

Education Center. I thought this group might be interested.

Yoga, Ayurveda, and Sound

February 24-March 2

 

Come to Costa Rica and share in the ancient practices and teachings of

Wise Earth Ayurveda®, Yoga, and Sacred Sound . True Nature is excited

to offer this inspiring spiritually focused retreat this year.

 

Wise Earth Ayurveda® is a unique system of education focused on

sadhana (harmonious lifestyle), nature, and the cultivation of inner

awareness. Her Holiness Sri Swamini Mayatitananda is the spiritual

mother and founder of Wise Earth Ayurveda® and M.O.M. (Mother Om Mission).

 

This form of ayurveda informs us that nature's most potent medicine is

inner medicine, and that we can access our innate powers of healing

through evoking nature's energy through food, breath and sound.

 

Master Teacher Kelly Grey, will come to True Nature and collaborate

with the True Nature teaching team for this retreat.

 

In this highly participatory retreat, a variety of asana (yoga)

practice will also be a major focus. Each moring we will gather,

overlooking the great Diamante ( " Diamond " ) Valley, and salute the new

day practicing together. Along with learning different yoga practices,

the retreat will also cover basic yoga theory.

 

During the day, we will have time to practice mindulfulness

meditation, walking, sitting, and being with the magical Costa Rican

land; an opportunity to be truly present to the incredible environment

which surrounds us. Participants will also receive massage treatments

in the Ayurveda tradition from our certified therapists.

 

In the evenings, we will raise our voices together, sharing in the

power of sacred sound, song, and kirtan. We will share in various

chants from around the world while also learning about the healing

power of toning.

 

The end of the retreat will culminate with a full immersion into the

life of Ayurveda. Together we will gather and prepare our foods in the

Wise Earth® Tradition. We will then share our preparations in a

wonderful feast before entering into an evening, followed by a full

day of silence. The retreat will close with with chanting, reflection,

and a community celebration.
