INSPIRATION
+ FLOW: A VINYASA/KIRTAN RETREAT:
Esalen Institute, Big Sur CA

GIRISH
February 7th-12th, 2010
Welcome-
I invite you to join me and the
incredibly talented Girish for
a special retreat at the world-renowned
Esalen Institute. To practice asana
is to become one with the eternal
vibration; to chant is to give
it voice. On this retreat, these
two practices will be experienced
as one unfolding. From the dynamic
practice on your mat and the expansive
expression of Kirtan to the breathtaking
beauty of the cliffs overlooking
the Pacific Ocean, this retreat
will be an incredible opportunity.
'Chanting
gives you a chance to move
out of your conceptual
mind into knowing, into
direct experience.' - GIRISH

On GIRISH
"A must hear... The
chant genre is taken higher
and further than ever before." ~

information on GIRISH |
Renowned for its healing natural
hot springs, Esalen has long been
recognized as a world leader in
alternative and experiential education.
Dramatically situated on the Big
Sur cliffs over the Pacific Ocean,
the sacred beauty of the land -
clear air, pulsing sea, garden
path and waterfall, steaming mineral
water bubbling up from deep within
the earth - is itself transformative.
This is the perfect setting for
our retreat which will be about
flow at every level. We will experience
intensive yoga practice, a deep
exploration into the ecstatic expression
of Kirtan, meditation and breathwork,
delicious food, incredible bodywork
and time with wonderful people.
This experience will be as beautiful
as it sounds - in a place where
the ocean meets the sky - with
the flowing sounds of GIRISH’s
powerful music washing over us,
our practice will be a hymn to
life.
See you there!
Namasté
Rolf
