this Retreat's a good fit for you if...

You’re seeking spiritual clarity and understanding with gentle yoga, live music, mantra & meditation.

You’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed by anxiety, and or the effects of grief, past trauma or PTSD.

If you’re ready to adopt a healthy, nourishing and Conscious lifestyle with a self-care program.

You need to slow down, unplug & nurture yourself in nature, laugh, sing and connect on a deeper level.

Awakening Hearts Retreat Sunshine Coast inclusions

3 days of mindful yoga, guided and contemplative meditations, yoga nidra, breath-work, TRE somatic trauma release exercise and powerful processes such as EFT and Aromatherapy.

Delicious Organic Vegetarian Ayurvedic cooked lunches with afternoon tea. A special Saturday night dinner and Fire Ceremony.

Live music with Terry Oldfield and Soraya. Includes mantra singing, flute journeys & songs.

A workbook so you can follow the processes at home and pages for reflection. Including the lessons of the Chakras.

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. I don’t feel afternoon tea was really necessary. Perhaps just fruit and chai is all that’s needed (although Ayurveda wouldn’t like those 2 together). I felt well supported through the retreat. Wendy

"I have had the pleasure of taking many of Soraya's workshops and Yoga classes over the last couple of years. Her immense knowledge, experience, gentle care and non judgemental approach has played a huge role in my transformation and healing journey. Her dedication to others well-being and healing is like no other. I feel for ever blessed and grateful to have Soraya in my life."

I found the retreat balancing and calming for my body and mind. Soraya gives 110% of her time and energy to the processes.

I have been fortunate to have attended a variety of yoga classes and workshops with Soraya for 12 years. During this time I have enjoyed Soraya’s weekly yoga classes in a lovely small group session where we are able to receive individual attention. I have also received yoga therapy sessions with Soraya to further develop my own practices. I have always felt grateful for the blend of live mantra, yoga and meditation in each class. I have also attended retreats provided by Soraya which have included deeper mindful meditation practices and the use of sound and music to aid in deeper relaxation and peace. I have benefited personally from this deep understanding which Soraya shares generously. As a psychologist myself, I can see the benefit in my own daily life as a result of ongoing work with Soraya.

I went to the retreat seeking to find a sense of calm and focus to help me undertake a project that I have planned for the year ahead. I definitely came away from the retreat having fulfilled that purpose.
