EMBODY LOVE | A SOLSTICE MAGIC RETREAT
with LEANNA PLANT, LUCY HILL & THE CHAYA FAMILY
IBIZA 20th - 26th June 2020 POSTPONED
A celebration of being and an invitation to embody the now.
To welcome all that is, with love.
Through the power of communal practices in magical Ibiza, through prayer and meditation and by gifting ourselves nourishment on all levels; we will come home to ourselves.
From this place, aligning with the potency of the summer solstice, in the gateway to summer, we will share and set our intentions together for the new season. And joyfully call in all our dreams and desires.
LOCATION | IBIZA
Ibiza's tangible magic and stunning beauty offers the perfect location for our retreat.The retreat will take place in a beautiful villa ‘The White Lotus’, set amongst shady pines and olive trees, in 'the campo', (Ibizan countryside) yet nearby to the vibrant and pretty town of Santa Gertrudis. Within the villa's grounds, you’ll find an abundance of space, including landscaped gardens and woods to meditate amongst, two pools to cool off in the Ibizan sunshine and multiple terraces, all set in the peaceful Ibenican countryside. Alongside the dreamy outdoor yoga shala and ceremonial spaces, you’ll find a large family style kitchen, peaceful therapy rooms, shady lounges and gorgeous communal eating spaces.’The White Lotus’ was once the home of Ra Uhuru, the founder of The Human Design System. Under the sacred fig tree in the villa’s garden, he channelled some very special information which led to the development of this insightful system, which can be used as a manual for each person's unique design. Ra lived here at the property for 10 years and he planted and cared for much of the garden and built the bungalows. His very special and unique presence is felt all over the property and the garden. Many people feel it immediately as they arrive, others just feel it in a sense of 'not wanting to leave'.
YOGA | INSTINCTIVE FLOW | LEANNA PLANT
We are always so honoured to work with one of Chaya’s dearest sisters - she’s pure Chaya family! Leanna Plant.
Instinctive flow® is a sensory based yoga, combined with somatic bodywork and body-mind exploration. Instinctive flow seamlessly blends the traditional roots of Hatha, with the rhythm of Flow and embodied freedom of Scaravelli. Anchored in anatomical precision and yogic tradition, Leanna’s classes unfold with an inherent melody, intelligence and sensitivity.
After more than 20 years of studying and playing with various forms of movement, a yoga of her own intuitive style was born; an alchemy for authentic and therapeutic transformation unfurls in every class. In addition, a profound connection to meditation from within the body is unearthed, allowing the wisdom of yoga to rise up and awaken a more conscious approach to living. This helps us to apply the awareness of yoga - not to mention a little magic - to all the flows and rhythms of life, and indeed in all we do, beat-by-beat, breath-by-breath.
''For me, yoga is all about laying a subtle yet powerful foundation for new experiences and deepening our inquiry to explore, while learning to observe, thrive and feel alive. Yoga should not be about control or routine, the practice must welcome embodied freedom, self discovery and help us navigate consciously to the essence of presence. When we come forth to our practice with a sense of reverence and innocence we’re able to cultivate a deeper connection to our true purpose, what we really came here for.’’
