Vibrance: Expressive Arts Retreat
|
|
Bali is a culture that honors and uses music, art and dance to call in wisdom, share stories, create community, and facilitate healing. In this retreat we will tap into these Balinese traditions and those learned from travels around the world, as we embark on a creative journey of self expression that will lead us to a deeper understanding of self.
This is the 2nd in our series of 3 Transformative and Reformative Retreats. Each retreat may also be taken with additional Teacher Training classes as part of a 200-Hour certification program. This path and the additional classes will lead you to sharing Vibrance around the world. If you prefer to simply take this time for experience, healing and rasing your vibrations, this makes for a life changing lifestyle retreat. |
About Vibrance
Vibrance fuses cross-cultural spiritual and philosophical truths with Western psychology and modern scientific research. A fusion of the eight chakras and the five elements, we begin with the root chakra, powered by your breath and your heartbeat.
Accessible to everyone, this moving meditation invites you to realize physical and metaphysical fitness by opening your heart, freeing your voice, letting go of the past, exploring your breath, strengthening and detoxifying your cardiovascular and respiratory systems, and toning your digestive and reproductive systems.
When we sing, the breath, heart, mind and body resonate together. SoulSong uncovers the songs in our hearts and awakens our true voice. You can learn to use your voice as medicine -- no musical background required.
SoulSong’s natural pranayama exercises invite sound from all parts of your body, your musical instrument, opening space, new vitality and balance.
SoulSong is an experiential practice that creates a safe space for everyone to express the heart song they have deep inside, waiting to be shared with the world. Tap into the liberated state of being a child, open your throat chakra, and immerse yourself in the healing power of sound.
Through movement, music, breath, sound, song and visualization, we can transform ourselves, our relationships, our communities and our planet. This is the intention of Vibrance.

Venue & Accommodation
|
Mimpi Resort, Menjangan, Bali
On the North-West coast of Bali in the village of Banyuwedang, Mimpi looks out towards the Menjangan Island. The area is notorious as a hot-spot for diving and snorkelling and just a little further down the coast a regular dolphin hangout. Mimpi's most special feature is its waters, as the resort is built across land with several natural hot springs. The careful architecture and landscaping makes for several shared natural hot spring pools across the 3 hectares of land. Inevitably the water and it's high mineral content is totally refreshing, rejuvenating and holds it's own healing qualities. For us the pools are perfect for aquatic bodywork, where we dance in the water to feel true fluidity. Classes take place in the Wantilan. A large space with wooden floors, the sounds of birds and some gentle breezes. We decorate the wantilan with beautiful silk hangings and bring a range of equipment from musical instruments, to dancing scarves, yoga mats, yoga balls and of course an excellent sound system! |

Curriculum & Certification
This retreat/immersion will focus on the 5th chakra - Vishuddha which is the gateway chakra between the body and spirit. Opening and exercising this chakra strengthens the connection with your own inner truth and your ability to express it in the world. Our voices carry the vibrational imprint of our soul. As we connect to and open our voices so too do we connect and open to our true nature.
We come together for these 9 days in the spirit of Love that is BHAKTI YOGA. Bhakti yoga, like any other form of yoga, is a path to self-realization, to having an experience of oneness with everything. And so we devote ourselves to the practice of expressing ourselves truthfully, to vibrating with one another, and loving one another as we come closer to knowing ourselves and the ONE vibration from which we all came.
