At a talk on his near death experience, Dr Eben Alexander said that at the very core of existence was a sound, and that sound was "OM". As he was a Christian scientist who had no exposure to the teachings of the East, this was a profound statement to make, and it made a lasting impression on me! "OM" is said to be the sound of all creation, the sound of the divine, of the universe itself. The vibration of "OM" both effects us profoundly, and is revealed within us, increasing our consciousness and health. Primordial sounds such as drumming and didgeridoo also awaken this vibration within. My intention in this retreat is to create the space you need to let go of the distractions of daily life, and get in touch with who you truly are. I have chosen an amazing didgeridoo healing session and drumming workshop to enhance the experience and get to the vibrational heart of being in a naturally joyful way, building on your yoga and meditation practice. The philosophy talk will also be directed towards getting to know your true essential self - Suzanne Gray
