Retreat Content;
We are delighted, deeply honoured and very excited to be offering this gorgeous retreat! Ayla and I will be diving deep into ceremonial song, teaching you some very special songs from around the world, opening our voices and hearts and soaring high into shared devotional singing.
​
"We will journey to the centre of the heart to awaken the song of the soul. With our voices we fire the arrows of our prayers, hunting the passion of our souls purpose. As a huntress of our soul we remember the voice of our deepest yearning." Ayla
​
"Ayla and I first met in 2013. I began singing with Ayla and over the years our voices and souls have danced and woven, our dreams, our prayers, our hearts deepening together. The jewels of songs we have gathered and received over the years and the nectar of this connection we wish to share with you" Helen
​
Ayla
Ayla will guide us on a journey of helping us to open our voices and connect with our soul's sound. Receive this rare gift of learning traditional healing songs, then entering into a deep prayer journey with them. Of course Ayla will be sharing many of her own songs too which draws upon a deep well of love and respect for the Earth and the Spirit of all Life, evoking a deepening of consciousness and connection with the Land and the light of truth and the heart.
​
Kundalini Yoga
In these morning sessions you will go on an internal journey through sensual, slow movement & gentle stretching, dynamic exercises, pranayama ~ powerful transformational breath work, cleansing breath, meditative breathing. All you need do is be open to being lead on a journey and be guided within. Suited to all levels of yoga as you choose your own pace and flow.
Shri Kali Yoga
PLUS! We have the lovely Lara White teaching the Sunday morning Shri Kali Yoga (Yin Yoga) for us. We are in for a treat!
​
"The style of yoga I teach is informed by 15 years of personal practice and adapted from the asanas, pranayama and bhandas I learned in India in the Shivaistic Kaula lineage. I have so much respect for this simple, gentle yet extremely powerful style of yoga, which essentially is an embodied meditation." Lara
