More Kind Words from Past Participants
The retreat was beautifully paced. I loved the ‘work’ in the mornings - if you can call such nourishing practice such as singing, tremor, breath and meditation work!! And then the ink sessions after lunch. The eft /essential oils session was just exquisite. Love that much of the learning we can replicate at home. Building our own toolkit for self love and care. Food was just perfect..

Increase your natural energy flow
Introduction to our energy body – Chakras and Major Nadis
Join Soraya at the opening workshop and learn about the body’s energy lines and the fundamental aspects of the chakra system.

Shift deep-seated trauma
Understanding human emotional frequency
Emotions serve as the carrier waves for the entire spectrum of feelings. Understanding that emotions are energy implies that they are fluid, moving resources meant to be felt and released vs. suppressed and ignored. Learn how to feel and release through spiritual exercises with Soraya.

Unlock your potential
Meditation on the Chakras, including Yoga Nidra
When energy rises through our chakra centres, our consciousness grows and we can heal on deeper levels. The ultimate aim of yoga nidra is to come to know our innermost being or essential nature. Join Soraya for an hour-long yoga nidra journey through the chakras to cleanse your energy centres from root to crown.

Make better decisions
Developing Discrimination through the lens of the heart
Learning how to centre our focus on the heart space to listen and know what the spirit truly needs, and how to use that inner-knowledge to inform our decisions to remain loyal to our innermost truth.

Live in the present
The Power of Awareness – Living Mindfulness
Awareness is the doorway to recognising and understanding our own thought patterns, feelings, and beliefs—and how they cause suffering. Work with Soraya in this spiritual exercise in self-compassion and acceptance to learn how to live more fully.

Heal yourself
Somatic Experiencing – Gentle Yoga
Somatic yoga is a trauma-informed yoga practice and is based on the principles of body and mind integration.
