Description
We invite you to join us under the light of the full moon surrounded by the otherworldly Mayan jungle and volcanic landscape of Lago de Atitlán in the highlands of Guatemala. Together we will practice and learn to share the art and wisdom of yoga that would heal ourselves and the planet. Through practicing and contemplating Yoga sutra principles as taught by the sage Patañjali 2000 years ago we strive to arrive at the fully realized state of luminous bliss. This training has an emphasis on cultivating awareness and healing through a fusion of spirituality, mystical healing arts, and philosophical inquiry.
We will be exploring and embracing the fullness of complimentary spiritual healing traditions, incorporating lectures and practicum in Ayurveda, the Vedic science of life and healing, Mayan cosmology and astrology, Reiki, Thai Massage, and daily ceremonies which will include ceremonies and a nightly satsang with kirtan, ecstatic dance, Balinese kechak, mantra japa chanting, and meditation.
We will learn about healing our planet by living in harmony and balance with nature at the Mystical Yoga Farm where we will learn to grow organic food through mystical, theoretical, and hands on exploration of permaculture, biodynamic, and ecological agricultural techniques including soil fertility regeneration through composting and mulching, rainwater harvesting, plant propagation, and more.
Food at the Mystical Yoga Farm is vegetarian (and mostly vegan) served twice daily (breakfast and dinner with a midday snack) and as often as possible is harvested from our organically cultivated volcanic soil as well as wild foraged from the surrounding jungle. We also prepare and serve typical Guatemalan food drawing on the traditions of the food prepared by the local Tz´utujil and Kaq´chikel peoples.
