P R Ā Ṇ A
Montpellier, France
22- 29 June 2024
On the 22nd June, one day after the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, we’ll begin our 1 week pranic gathering in the rolling hills of Southern France.
Summer Solstice marks the beginning of the Summer, days flooded with the natural light of the Sun, and we become ever more present and connected to the innate energy that lives within as a result.
Prāṇa is the Energy of Life, the “…cosmic force without which nothing moved or functions.” Together we will harness this energy through the practices of Jivamukti Yoga:
Bhakti ~ Devotional chanting
Ahiṃsa ~ Delicious and nutritious vegan food
Nāda ~ Deep listening
Dhyāna ~ Meditation
Shastra ~ Contemplation of ancient wisdom
This retreat is open to all curious and playful souls with a love for wisdom.
