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. This is a playful, heart-warming experience where we satisfy your curiosity and get a great opportunity to celebrate life!

You will also have free time where you can enjoy our body-care center and get a healing massage, 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 Healing Sound Journey through Mantra, Mudra, and Conscious Breathing with Thea

For thousands of years, Yoga has used Sanskrit Mantras as a sacred instrument to purify and liberate the mind. These sounds, combined with conscious breathing and specific mudras (meditative hand gestures), amplify their energetic power, favoring peace of mind, psychophysical well-being, and the expansion of awareness.

Mudras are yogic hand gestures with specific benefits that help to link the brain to the body, soothe pain, stimulate endorphins, improve mood, and increase vitality.

Throughout this program, Thea will accompany you on a sacred sound journey to rediscover ourselves through an exploration of these sacred practices. She will use harmonic vibrations of Tibetan bowls, hang drum, the Indian harmonium, and other instruments from the Eastern tradition.

DAY 1:
Morning ~ RELAXATION
Mantras, Mudras and Pranayama to relax and liberate the mind
after arriving.

Afternoon ~ CREATIVITY
Kapalabhati Pranayama (gives energy to the mind, energizing nerves), Mantras dedicated to Gayatri, Saraswati, and other sacred feminine energies, to increase creativity and intelligence & Ushas Mudra (Mudra connected to dawn, the source of all good things).
