Day Retreat: Sacred Living Experience @Nectar Yoga Retreat
Bowen Island
June 26th
Noon to 6pm
Join Beverly for a Day Retreat Introduction to Ritam of Life and Sacred Living @ The beautiful Nectar Yoga, Bowen Island:
Ritam of Life and Beverly Akhurst invite you to take a day to unwind yourself from the world of habit you exist within and float your way into the Rhythm of a Sacred Life.
You will make your way to the healing energy of Bowen Island a short 20 minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay, then drive, bus, bike, or hitch your way the short 5 minutes to Nectar Yoga where we will all meet at Noon to begin this loving journey into the exploration of what a Sacred Life means to you.
Nestled in the luxury of Nectar Yoga surrounded by 20 acres of forest, and accessing both the geodesic dome and the main Lodge, as well as the peaceful outdoor areas and easy trails, we will take an experiential journey through the 5 Key Areas of Sacred Living. This will be an introduction to the extended Sacred Living Program which runs in 4 and 5 week programs throughout the year online.
Your day begins when you arrive off the ferry at 11:45AM. You will make your way via car or local bus, the short ride to Nectar Yoga, where you will be greeted at the main lodge and will take a minute to connect with the beauty that surrounds you. As a group we will set intentions and shared agreements, take time to orient with the energy of Nectar and the lineage of the land. The beginning of Sacred. This will be a time to connect with ritual and a rhythm that honours who you are at the very core of your being. To bring yourself in alignment with a life that expresses a passion and love for you.
We will flow into Sacred Eating and a light lunch during which you will learn how an intimate relationship with your food can change your relationship with your inner and outer world. Sacred Spaces will be explored, from the intentional beauty of Nectar to inner space, learning how each day can be altered by the spaces we inhabit and why it matters. With lunch settled, we will flow into Sacred Movement. The way to inhabit the body to alter your energy, your health and mental calm to connect to creative source.
Sacred Sounds and Silence, will wind their way through all parts of the day, giving you an opportunity to notice the profound effect each can have on body, mind and heart.
The day will gently wind to a close through Sacred Community/Connection, the way in which we heal the broken networks of life, after which you will wind your way gently back to the ferry or dinner in Snug Cove before taking the Sacred back with you into each day of your life.
There will be time for laughter, time for peace, time with nature and time for each other and most importantly time with the very Sacredness of who you are.
Tea and water will be available in the Main Lodge If you have any strict diets outside of vegetarian or gluten free (I.e celiac, keto, paleo) we apologies but we will be unable to serve these dietary needs. Anything such as nut and dairy allergies should be shared and we will do our best to support these restrictions for lunch.
Feel free to bring snacks for the afternoon. There will be some light ones on offer, but if you exist in a body that needs to nibble throughout the day, love yourself and care for that need.
