FACILITATORS


Parvathi

The outstanding balance will be due 4 weeks before the start date of the retreat.
The Retreat:
Auroville is an experimental community in the state of Tamil Nadu, India.
Anyone with idealistic ideas will be excited to visit ‘the City of Dawn’. It’s an international community and their purpose is to realise human unity in diversity. The inhabitants are dedicated to sustainable living, peace, harmony and spirituality.
​
Conscious eating and ayurvedic practices has long been practiced by so many who have come before us who have used it as a tool to access their deeper selves, to cleanse the body and purify the mind. This has a strong effect on us as we begin to open to a deeper connection within and without. The result is that we start looking at our lives and where we are with a fresh and clear vision.
​
With this clarity it becomes easier to lead and direct our lives fluently and aligned to our Dahrma.
​
Our deeper selves are accessed, channelled through the practice of yoga, meditation, meditating in the matrimandir temple, e-bicycle ride, emotional release, ayurvedic workshop and experiencing long held reverence for the ancient practices in this place of high energy.​​
