I have long since considered my life to be a path of many mirrors. Many relationships, many dwellings and many practices. My passion for practice and the unique mirrors each one offers has given my life a bountiful richness I cannot otherwise imagine. For me, this variety is a gift. My practices are my friends, my allies, unwaveringly dependable and playful.
I know each practice I have spent time with has been an essential mirror for my understanding at both micro and macro levels. Who I am, who I’ve been, who I am becoming and how the whole universe is dancing our strings. At any given moment I can attune myself through practice to the mirror I need to look into at that particular time. Each practice its own unique field of perspective on the universal love holding us all together. The one web, one person, one mind, one. Each practice a pathway of slightly different scenery leading to the same truth. Sometimes I’ve got to see it laying down and sometimes to see it I’ve got to shake it out.
Greece has been and continues to be one of my favorite mirrors. Pure, raw, deep, sensual and completely boundless. I am looking forward to sharing a variety of my favorite practices with you this year. Each one a mirror to your truth and the truth while existing in the divine mirror of the land, sea and skies of the Greek islands. I pray these practices will thread their way into your life as you continue to create your own unique collection of divine mirrors.
This will be my third time returning to this retreat center on Paros. It is absolutely the most amazing center I have ever been to in all my retreat travels. The first time I went there I knew it was home and returning solidified that even more within my heart. I cant wait to share it with you!
Our days will open with beautiful asana and meditation practices followed by abundant brunches, long beach days on the mediterranean sea, group gatherings, song, mantra, workshops, ceremony, restorative yoga, yoga nidra and a day of sweet silence for your soul. All of these practices are intended to heal and reflect the truth of the celebration of life within you.
