About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Join our Samudra Community for this 7 Day Transformational Journey through Movement, Sound, Breath, Ceremony, Self-Enquiry and Celebration.

A Safe Space To Reconnect With Yourself.

This retreat is designed for you to take a deep dive into your heart, for those who are ready to let go and experience a soul level transformation. We are a blood and soul family of dancers, yoga teachers, musicians, food gurus and therapists that have come together to share our daily lives with you.

Join our community as we accompany you on a week long journey through dynamic and restorative practices of yoga, dance, breath, meditation, ceremony and transformational therapies. You will experience three 1:1 therapies during the retreat to make the journey personal to you; massage, energy healing and a tarot/astrology reading.

As a group we will take a journey from the logical mind into the expression of the body, learning to listen to the voice of our true selves. We store a tremendous amount of emotional material in our bodies which takes the form of tension, pain and fatigue. We can release that emotional material from the body through the vehicle of attention, discernment, breath and surrender. Connecting with our bodies requires slowing down. Our programme is designed to empower you to live within the realm of what life actually is, in this human body, on this planet. To celebrate your unique self and enjoy the pleasures of connecting with humans on a soul level.

This retreat accommodates from 4 to 7 guests across our two 400-year-old farmhouses each with their own private pools and views to melt your senses.

Mixed Feelings
My experience of the retreat was mixed.

I liked the sound healing. There was too less yoga for me. Would have loved an afternoon session too.

Some of the sessions were more like a beginner introduction of the topic. I expected to ‘do’ the practice as an experienced practitioner.

Mila was a real yogi in her words and soul. The other two were quite abrupt and harsh in their words. Sometimes people learn the theory of yoga but are not able to integrate it into their being.
