About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Let’s come together to take time for you and to shine a Light on your sacred journey. Let’s discover how to end repetitive cycles of stress and suffering, heal the World-Self/Sacred-Self Division, and dissolve obstacles that get in the way of accessing joy, to reveal your sacred path and embodied wisdom.

Join mother–daughter team Iswari and Mahadevi for a guided exploration of a trauma-informed, evidence-based navigation system rooted in yoga, meditation, psychology, Eastern philosophy, and neuroscience. Together, we will embody essential practices that support healing while awakening intuitive wisdom and joy.

During this retreat, we will explore ways to access innate intelligence and healing power as you navigate home to your true nature: your Sacred Self.
In this workshop, we will explore:

End World Self/Sacred Self Division on your sacred journey to tread a path to self-aligned action.
Explore the five subtle bodies through witnessing consciousness, and befriend the messengers who lead us to wholeness.
Assess and defuse our thought-bomb inner critic, and mobilize aligned self-narratives.
Produce your LOFT - Line Of Flight-Transformation Action Plan At the height of Summer, tap into a feeling of joy, grounding, and alignment with your inner wisdom.

What to Expect:
Through daily practice, group exploration, yoga nidra, writing reflection, group sharing, and deep listening in community, our journey together will:

Clear obstacles on the path of your mythological journey.
Defuse thought bombs, address the inner critic, and mobilize aligned self-narratives.
Explore conscious connection with the five subtle bodies and befriend the messengers that reveal intuitive wisdom and restore wholeness.
Befriend your neuroception and bring peace to your nervous system.
Discover the super-competent life navigator that you already are!

Participants will receive a LifeBreath - Clear The Path: Resources for the Sacred Self workbook at the beginning of the program. The workbook contains program materials designed to foster deep learning and ongoing post-program practice.

Clear the Path offers an opportunity to practice, explore, and transform in divine connection with a community of like-hearted Yogaville adventurers. Set in Yogaville’s beautiful, nurturing environment, we hope you can join us.
