Our philosophy and self-inquiry module is held once a year on residential retreat - designed as an immersion, to inspire sangha, satsang, sadhana and svadhyaya.

As we continue to dive into the deeper layers, we begin to reveal our level of consciousness, mental terrain, implicit memories and personal narratives that have been hidden and stored in the body. These internal obstacles have often shadowed the lens from which we observe life and concealed our truest nature from ourselves and those around us.

In this immersion we will explore the art of compassionate self-inquiry, so as to identify and acknowledge the unconscious dynamics that run our lives and begin to liberate ourselves from them.

Each year will focus on a different philosophical theme - drawn from either Patanjali’s Sutras, The Bhagavid Gita, the Buddha Dharma or the Tao De Ching - allowing us to delve into the ancient texts, reflect on the timeless wisdom and explore how to apply these profound principles to our spiritual lives.

There is nothing quite like the power of retreat. A time to disconnect from the daily grind and gift ourselves an opportunity to truly recharge, reset and reconnect to the truth of who we are, all within the power of community.

Graduates will explore the art of compassionate self-inquiry, to support their psycho-emotional and spiritual growth.

Our annual retreat is open to all practitioners and teachers seeking to explore the practice of yoga, beyond asana.
