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

Rolf Gates + 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." ~ Backroads Music

More 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!
