This fall, join Emily Perry and Amita Stark for the Heart of Bhakti Retreat.

The 2018 Heart of Bhakti Retreat celebrates Navaratri, the nine-night festival of the Triple Goddess honoring the Divine Feminine & the nine-night festival of Ram's Lila, highlighting the Divine Masculine.

Navaratri is a time of inner renewal and celebration, of the victory of light over our own inner darkness, our inner demons. In some parts of India, it is a time when many forms of the Goddess Durga is worshipped, and in other parts, it is auspicious to honor Ram's Lila, the story of Ram, Sita, and Hanuman, particularly in the Ramayana, revering the Divine Masculine.

Our time together at Mount Madonna is designed to support you in embodying the energy of the union of the divine feminine and divine masculine in your practice and in your life.

Our Mount Madonna retreats are unique because we weave in what is happening at the temple into our schedule— you really get the authentic temple experience made more potent by the work we do in our time together on the mat and in the workshops.

Retreat Activities Include:

Arati light ceremony & Ram Puja at the Hanuman Temple Two yoga classes a day: flow & restorative (solar & lunar) Sacred Feminine/ Sacred Masculine Dharma Talks (Readings from the Devi Mahatyam & the Ramayana) Chanting and Mantra Meditation & Pranayama (breathwork) Navaratri Ceremonies & Sadhana Organic Vegetarian Meals Time to hike and explore the Redwood forest, or book: Ayurvedic Spa Treatments, past life regressions & astrology past life readings with Amita, or Inner Shift coaching with Emily
