KINDRED SPIRIT RETREAT WITH AZURE WOLFE
PERU
November 5 - 12, 2022
Get ready to vibe with like minded Kindred Spirits in the Sacred Valley of Peru as we flow together and deepen the connection to ourselves, our sisters and our soul purpose.
There is a powerful correlation between balance in our bodies, our overall wellness and our connection to others. We’ll play with a variety of yoga practices under the guidance of beautiful Goddess and yoga teacher Azure Wolfe. We’ll strengthen our center (core) with laughter and learn to let go with balancing flows to find the space for ease and effort. With our breath, we’ll learn to create more space in our beautiful bodies while connecting to each of our Energy Centers (Chakras).
During our week together, we'll have the chance to explore the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu nestled high in the Andes Mountains and sacred practices like Native Despacho Ceremony in Peru.
RETREAT LOCATION
The 70-mile narrow strip of land, in the Peruvian Andes, that runs roughly from the old imperial capital of Cusco to the enigmatic citadel of Machu Picchu remains a place of eerie natural beauty. Against a backdrop of snow-capped peaks, the fertile river valley winds below steep forests and ancient agricultural terraces while the mountain light at dusk gives the landscape an otherworldly glow. Many locals still speak Quechua -- the language of the Incas.
There are endless opportunities to explore its natural landscapes as well as the living and ancient cultures. You can do so by road or, preferably, on foot, mountain bike or horseback.
In the middle of a majestic natural environment, surrounded by mountains and ancient culture, grows Samadhi, our retreat centre - which means a union with the divine. Designed with sacred geometry, Samadhi will submerge you in the universe of "los Chakras", walking through the Kundalini and wrapping you in its spaces, colors, textures, flavors and art adapted for the energy central, to know and explore your essence. Samadhi is a fully-equipped retreat centre with areas dedicated to meditation and art, a multifunction room, a yoga deck with a dazzling view of the sacred valley, and an organic garden where you can learn about the qualities of plants that are native to the area, and around the Andes Mountains.

-
Native Despacho Ceremony - Led by a Shaman from the indigenous Quechua tribe, a despacho is a prayer bundle or offering of gratitude to Mother Earth (Pacha Mama) & Mountain Spirits; a focused, formal way to "dispatch" your prayers off to the powers that be. Despacho rituals are designed to align, balance and harmonize the three levels of consciousness: Yankay (the physical universe), Yachay (the spirit or wisdom center), and Munay (the feeling or heart center). The despacho holds symbolic elements and the prayers of the participants. As the elements are added to the despacho, the vibration of the participants and the room raises. The despacho becomes a living prayer that brings energy shifts and healing. The ceremony is concluded by burning the despacho bundle over a bonfire conveying the gifts to Spirit
-
Sound Healing Bath - Everything in the universe has a vibrational frequency. The practitioner uses musical instruments like singing bowls, gong, flute and others in specific rhythms and frequencies to downshift your brain from the beta state (normal consciousness) to the theta state (relaxed consciousness) and even the delta state (where internal healing can occur).
