Every now and then we become playful with our in-house program "Mandali Experience", and offer a week of celebration. This retreat is designed for you who wish to get more from your experience and explore a wider range of classes.
In addition to our program of daily yoga, meditation, and Qi Gong practice we invite you on a unique Shamanic Journey. In this very special edition of the Mandali Experience we are joined by Elena Texeidor, who will be facilitating a 5 day workshop guiding and connecting us to the 5 Elements. The workshops include sound healing, cacao & fire ceremonies, concerts, meditations, and more, all designed to connect you deeper to yourself and Mother Earth.

This is a playful, heart-warming experience where we satisfy your curiosity and get a great opportunity to celebrate life! It’s up to you to design the experience that will best serve you, by participating in as much or as little of the program as you wish.

You will also have free time where you can enjoy our body-care center and get a healing massage, or spend some quiet time in the sauna, or have a lovely stroll on the mountain. And perhaps most importantly take some time to rediscover what’s really important to you and let go of the things that are no longer serving you.

A Shamanic Journey Through The 5 Elements  with Elena 

Celebrating ceremonies connected to nature is as old as our walk on Earth. Entering the shamanic terrain translates into opening contact with the force of Nature and its elements. We live in a world that appears to be evolving but in reality is increasingly disconnected from the essential: living calmly, in accordance with the rhythms of life, without haste, stress, or anxiety. Reconnecting with this essence produces great emotional stability, mental clarity, and calmness in our nervous system.
This essence is inseparable from the planet Earth, its natural rhythms and frequency - we are all interconnected to all beings of life. From the shamanic spirit, we remember what the body always knew but perhaps the mind forgot.
In these 7 days, we will journey through the 5 Elements, each of which connects us with a specific way of breathing, or feeling. We will be using ceremony, aromas, chanting, instruments, sound, and movement.

Day 1~ Earth Ceremony. Vital force
Grounding, stability, and security.

Day 2 ~ Water Ceremony. Emotions
Flow, flexibility, and depth. The connection with others and the ability to enjoy.
Letting go. Movement and change. Opening space to renovate yourself.

Day 3~ Fire Ceremony Transformation
Will power, commitment, and manifestation.
The power of alchemy. When energy becomes action.

Day 4~ Air Ceremony Heart Wisdom
Heart coherence and intuition, the inner wisdom.
Breathing and loving awareness. The power of forgiveness. Flexibility and vision.

Day 5 ~ Ether Element. Space and formlessness.
The original element, the unlimited source. Sound vibration and Silence.

This retreat will be held in English.
