RETREAT INTO THE RHYTHM OF YOUR SOUL!!
RETREAT INTO THE RHYTHM OF YOUR SOUL!!
“During the last retreat two women and I hit it off from the start. I was able to confide in them about a recent trauma. They listened with empathy and sensitivity and let me know that it was okay to feel bad, that my wounds were still fresh. Those beautiful sisters reminded me that grieving comes before healing, and that’s what it’s been like for me since the retreat. I am forever grateful for their timely gift of understanding. For me that was the healing essence of the retreat: listening and being listened to”, said Rema.
For most people, morning means a shocking alarm clock buzzing off to remind them to get their head out of bed, get dressed and ready for work. Some never take the time to breathe in the fresh morning energies or greet their soul with acknowledgment and gratitude as the day begins. Unfortunately the mind and body carries the initial shock from the rude awakening of the alarm clock into the events of the day. But when you take time out on a periodic basis to retreat, you find the lost natural rhythm of your soul. Your dance of life then becomes harmonious, graceful and invigorating and you learn to live without the disturbing sound of an alarm clock.
To retreat means to remove oneself from their usual environment and into the heartbeat of nature. To retreat means to enter a place and time where you can distinctly feel and have a momentous experience of your mind, body, heart and spirit without the distractions and obstructions to inner peace and relaxation.
The fact that you are reading this is perhaps a part of your own response to a “gentle call” within to re-treat! You can show your “self” some love. Here’s how…..
Imagine….. From the moment you step off the plane you instantly feel the cool sexy vibes of Jamaica. The seduction begins with the tropical aroma and the melodic voices that resonate through your body. The journey of the senses persists with the ride to Negril as the warm tropical sea breeze caresses your face. The sights of the harvest of colorful fruits such as sugar apples, mangoes, and sugar cane along the road side wet your taste buds. Meanwhile, the lingering Caribbean beat pleases your ears and vibrates your soul. The passing view of the sea is a hint of the moisture you’ll feel as the sunny, luscious island of Jamaica penetrates you. As you walk through the gates of the Negril Yoga Center you will hear a soothing and mysterious whisper that says…..Welcome home! Now your inner child may delight in play and imagination and your soul can experience its orgasm.
Accommodations The Negril Yoga Center is a seaside hideaway on the west tip of the Island. Unlike the popular commercial spots, here you can put space between yourself and the rest of the world. Here you can expect a serving of the culture and traditions of Jamaica and imitate a soulful yogi lifestyle for a few days. This tropical oasis is nestled in a botanical garden with trails that lead to little discoveries such as your room or the floral and fauna that lace these retreat grounds.
With a variety of beautiful flowers and exotic birds, your eyes can take in new sights and your senses can move in accord with nature’s rhythm. Each day a natural breakfast or vegetarian dinner is served in a dining room of nature with shades of palm trees.
Activities/Yoga Each morning greets you with a daily dose of Soulful Yoga movements and mediation, topped off with drumming. During the day you can stroll the beaches and dive the Caribbean Sea for a live motion picture of the graceful underwater life of tropical fish and sea life of all colors, shapes and sizes. We’ll take the drumming to the ocean side with guest presenter Kristen Arant - Drum Lady DC. Of course this tropical island retreat comes with the great night life of Jamaica. You can dance on the beach with some of Jamaica’s most popular and local reggae stars. And enjoy a variety of tasty curried, jerk or smoked flavors by the beach side or at one of the charming restaurants.
In between you can meditate, take a siesta, write, do nothing or stretch out and practice in the open-air pavilion at the yoga center. What ever appeals to your nature or excites your soul, go for it!!
We live in an accrual oriented world; a place where people over indulge in food, stockpile on materials things and foolish ideas are swallowed on a daily basis. We live in a world where people base their worth on how much they have accumulated. Releasing these multi-level toxins from inside is a prime benefit to retreating. Yoga, drumming, laughter, pure sweat, heart throbs, sensual pleasures, and orgasmic movements ….these are the pulses of intense release! If nothing, it will be fun and cleansing. “Be still and know that I am GOD.” Retreat is a time to remove the mustiness, shed the old skin, reconnect with your goddessness or godliness and return home with less so that you can give more.
