Devotion is the Divine streaming through you, from that place in you, before time. — Vijnana Bhairava Tantra
A beautiful longing for the sacred lives in each of us, awaiting our surrender to the currents of devotion. In this workshop, song, story, and yoga connect us to the great mystery and imbue our hearts with deep remembrance. By learning the stories and songs of the ancestors, we reclaim a sense of belonging. Nature ritual initiates a fresh spiral of rebirth for our wild hearts. Meditation and embodiment drench us in the divine. With equal parts courage and tenderness, we’ll hone our beings to be vessels for devotion to move through.
Together, we’ll explore:
Our nourishing schedule of experiential practices will be balanced harmoniously with relaxing meals, community connection, and starlit soaks in Esalen’s healing baths. Music, nature, poetry, and relational play will be woven together artfully throughout. We lovingly invite you to discover the way of devotion, offering a pathway home to the vastness of your being.
Grace awaits.
This workshop includes an additional $25 faculty tuition.
