A weeklong excursion into the depths of your body, mind, and spirit. Consider this a chance to do a complete overhaul on your whole chakra system, a retreat and renewal experience that hits on all levels of being.

Each day of the workshop is devoted to a different chakra, starting with the base chakra and moving all the way to the crown. (Chakras 6 & 7 share a day). The morning begins with a deep therapeutic trance journey, to stir the underlying unconscious material so it can be worked with throughout the day.

The trance work is followed by a 90 minute yoga class, focused on the chakra of the day: such as legs and feet for first chakra, hip openers for the second, chest openers for the heart, etc.

The afternoon begins with a lively exploration of the psychological aspects of that chakra – its developmental stage, its imbalances, and how to heal them. That is followed by a curated experience in dyads or small groups, and at the end of the day the whole group comes together in a brief ceremony focused on that chakra. The third chakra has an evening, outdoor fire ritual, and the 7th chakra has a special evening “dance of divinity.”
