A week-long retreat can provide us with the time and distance to practice what we “know” we need to practice: how to calmly love and take care of ourselves. This retreat includes study and practice of both the physical alignment that yoga asana offers and the mental alignment that mindfulness meditation offers. Our daily practice will include morning meditation & yoga class, then an afternoon class of yoga, pranayama, and relaxation.

This is all done in an atmosphere and environment of support, both by nature and your peers, while using time-honored rituals to enhance the wonders and intensity of the retreat.

Other highlights include a silent El Solo day, an ancient Aztec sweat lodge, whale watching, and a night of music and dancing.

Altar Your Heart: A Unique Yoga, Meditation & Ayurvedic Retreat
Feb 4 - 11
Denise Lapides, E-RYT 500, IKYTA and Marian Kaufman, RYT 200 Ph. D.

Join us as we gather in a sacred space and time, with like minded Souls and intentions.  2012 is a pinnacle time and Mar de Jade is our sacred space to create a shift into our authentic Hearts. Together, in trust and with great joy, we will create a sanctuary for our Hearts, allowing for the stale debris of past hurts and blockages to release while opening to primal and organic Light. 

Building an Altar is a sanctified and natural action, for centuries, every culture has created Altars all over out planet.  Yet when do you consider your own Heart Space to be an Altar?  What would that look like? How would your life change, open and feel if you treated your Heart as an Altar?  Imagine....

We will dynamically combine a myriad of ancient practices, both physical (Hatha and Kundalini yoga, dance, organic movement) and Spiritual/Mental (Meditation, mantra and mudra) along with sacred sound current the Naad, the Gong, and healing food to experience movement from surviving to thriving in this new time. 

We are transitioning from an ego centered to a heart centered cosmic consciousness. In real time this means that in our daily lives we witness the radical changes in all phases of our lives.  We can learn to trust our deep, intrinsic Inner Wisdom that lives and speaks from the Heart to create a harmonious, balanced and joyful life.  This is not utopia, but the reality of what is available to us, when we decide to open and receive, and surrender to That which is.

SOUL MOTION™: kiss of the beloved
Mar 10 - 17
Zuza & Scott Engler
Many of us know at the core of our being the longing for spirit as the true Beloved of the soul. Dance offers a portal to a direct experience of this longing and at the same time, a promise of its fulfillment. In this workshop- open to singles, lovers, seekers, and all lost wanderers- we dance across the landscapes of Soul Motion to experience life directly as embodied consciousness in motion.

According to some spiritual traditions, every instant of such direct contact with life can be recognized as the kiss of the Beloved, no matter what experience it brings: wonder, delight, ache, sorrow, or bliss.
Bring a partner (even if she does not dance) and spend your time off exploring together the wonders of this piece of paradise; or come alone and rediscover love as the essence of your own being.
