Love & Joy

CONSCIOUS CHRISTMAS RETREAT

December 23 - 26, 2023

  • ​Do you feel like something different, something special this Christmas?

  • Are you traveling and want to spend these days consciously?

  • Do you want to celebrate with love, joy, and intention?

  • No alcohol, no other substances, just pure bliss with like-minded people?

We feel you! We want exactly the same. That is why we decided to share our home, practices, rituals, ceremonies etc. with you this Christmas on this very special Retreat. 

 

We want to focus on the underlying idea of this celebration: unconditional love! We want to bath in love & joy this special time of the year and celebrate each other without any bounds of religion.

We will celebrate with Bhakti Yoga, the path of devotion, singing mantras together, practicing forgiveness rituals, diving deep into cacao ceremony & sound journey, gathering for powerful circles in the evening, and leaving space for some fun, and get-together time. 

In between the program you will have time to enjoy lying in a hammock, taking in the peaceful surroundings, spotting toucans, hummingbirds or Morphos or taking a refreshing plunge in the rockpool down by the stream? 

This is a retreat for you to relax, unwind, find joy and love, spend time in nature, and gather with like-minded people to celebrate life & each other.

Ever since I came in contact with Ayurveda a decade ago when I was at a crossroads I have been on a deep dive into a yogic life, the search for truth and the path of healing.

 

After completing a Hatha Yoga Training in India, I founded Sapana Yoga in Mallorca, Spain, in 2015. My search led me to take many different trainings like Ayurveda, Yin Yoga, Qi Gong, Akashic Records, Bhakti Yoga, Transformational Facilitation, Vegan Nutrition, Coaching & more.

 

I have always been called to keep on transforming & finding my inner truth, to find clarity on where I want to be in life & to follow my heart and intuition. 

 

This has led me to study with many spiritual teachers around the world. They helped me to uncover my true nature, advance along my path, undertake deep transformation, live a life dedicated to the spiritual journey & eventually open a Retreat Center with my beloved in the jungle of Costa Rica.

Learn more about me & Gabriel on my Blog or Instagram.

I started on the path of yoga 9 years ago with the aim to find balance and wellbeing.

 

The more I practiced the more I wanted to know. This lead me to travel all over the world trying different yoga styles and practicing with many teachers until I found a path that resonated with me: Jnana Yoga, the path of knowledge.

I was introduced to self-inquiry and Ramana Maharshi’s teachings by Mooji in India and recognized the truth of it immediately: going deep into the “I am” sense in the search of our true nature.  

I have been in the search of truth from a very young age and the path of yoga exposed that truth in a clear way, in a way that I could understand. 

 

This is what I would like to share with you at our Retreats & Trainings here at Shankara Retreat Center in Costa Rica. Let me help you find your truth along your path.
