About this Retreat
I started on the path of yoga 7 years ago with the aim to find balance and wellbeing. The more I practiced the more I wanted to know and that lead me to travel all over the world to try different yoga styles and practice with many teachers until I found the one that resonated with me: Jnana yoga, the path of knowledge. The method I practice is self-inquiry: mainly this is going deep into the “I am” sense in the search of our true nature.
I was introduced to self-inquiry by Mooji in India and recognized the truth in what he said immediately. After a year practicing every day I came upon Ramana Maharshi’s teachings and that clarified the path even more.
I have been in the search of truth from a very young age already and I can say that the path of yoga exposed that truth in a clear way, in a way that I could understand it, and that is what I would like to share with you.
Ever since I came in contact with Ayurveda more than 8 years ago I have been on a deep dive into a yogic life, the search for truth and the path of healing. After completing a Hatha Yoga Training in India, I founded Sapana Yoga in 2015. My search led me to take many different trainings: Ayurveda, Yin Yoga, Vinyasa, Qi Gong, Functional Anatomy, Reiki, Akashic Records, Thai Massage, Restorative Aerial Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Transformational Facilitation, Vegan Nutrition and lately a Coaching Training. I call myself lucky to have met teachers in India, Sri Lanka, Bali, Thailand, Costa Rica, Argentina, Spain & Mexico who have helped me uncover my true nature, advance along my path, undertake deep transformation and live a life dedicated to yoga.
Details of this retreat
Conscious Closing of 2023 and Creation & Manifestation for 2024
- Are you looking for something special this New Year's Eve?
- Do you feel called to end the year 2023, all its stories, experiences & lessons with reflection & mindfulness?
- Do you want to call in something big for the New Year?
- Are you called to create a powerful start into 2024 & make your dreams come true?
In this New Year's Retreat we will dive deep into the power of gratitude & honor what this year has given us. We will bring the year 2023 to a close in a conscious & mindful way setting the tone for a powerful 2024. With different tools like Yoga, Meditation, Coaching Practices, Vision Board Creation, Psychodrama, Sound Journey, Kirtan & Cacao Ceremony we will clear out the old & raise our vibrations for an empowered new adventure in the new year..
By leaving this year behind on a positive note, dipping into emptiness & creating space for the new, we invite the New Year in with our full power & focused intention. A retreat to manifest your dreams into reality.
We will start with grounding, with time for introspection and reflection, looking at your limiting beliefs and how they held you back in some ways in 2023. With a clean slate, you will spend the second last day of the year in silence: the inner space is clean, your internal drive emptied and thus full of storage space for the new experiences 2023 holds in store for you.
From this empty space full of possibilities, you will invite in what you want to manifest for the year to come. The last day of the year will be fully focused on this powerful intention. The experience coming to a peak in the evening with a very special “Manifest the New You” Party. For this party you will all arrive as your future version and stay in character the whole evening, supporting each other and creating strong manifestation vibrations together. And of course, have some fun.
The first day of the New Year will be all about creating the circumstances for the life you want, calling it in with meditations, rituals, practices, and a vision board workshop. We will anchor in the vibrations of an empowered New Year with special exercises for you to spread your wings and fly into the New Year full of anticipation, excitement, and strength.
This is a retreat for those of you who feel called to take responsibility of their creative forces & channel them to design a powerful, blissful & magical New Year.
