Raise your vibration Retreat
North Cyprus
27th October 2018- 3rd November 2018
​
WHY
At Karuna Yoga Journeys we believe that every trip, holiday or retreat is an opportunity to dive deeper into knowing yourself more fully. Are you looking for ways to flow through life with grace and ease? To become aware of the signs your body is giving you that it is under stress before you end up unwell?
Our Cyprus journey gives you an opportunity to understand the subtle energy systems in the body and work with them for peace and wellbeing. Did you know through observing the breath you can identify whether your stress levels are high or not? And by becoming aware of the chakras and their personalities you will highlight areas in your life where you might want to focus your energy to create better relationship, boundaries or to develop insight. And Mantras infuse decisions with power.
Our body gives us vibrations, signs and signals constantly but we are often too busy or unable to sense or see them. Raise your vibration retreat falls into our INSPIRE series which focuses specifically on self-awareness and growth. Identifying whether you need to be in a hammock with a book, releasing tension with a reiki session or learning ways to serve the planet. Inspire series is your internal check in.
During this retreat we will show you how to slow down and tap into the infinite source of wisdom that is inside the body and use it for growth and transformation.

WHERE?
About North Cyprus
North Cyprus is a sun-dappled home to medieval castle ruins, vast archaeological sites of once mighty classical cities, and sleepy villages where old men gather on the teahouse veranda to drink coffee and play back gammon. Many visitors come for the endless sunny days and relaxed vibe but this slither of land which swoops from mountain to sea has so much more to offer. Home to the green and leather head turtles June - September is a great time to see them laying eggs or hatching.
​
About the venue
I am super excited to be teaming up with a beautiful yogini Ingrid Finch. Ingrid and I met on the mat last summer and have been enjoying heart opening and mind opening conversations on energy, the subtle body and everything yoga since. Ingrid and Gary are opening their home for this retreat. Enjoy the rescue dogs, horse and donkey, as well as the organic vegetable garden, crystal clear pool, many hidden spots for journalling, contemplating or silent reflection and delicious home cooked hearty and healthy meals.

I am living but am I really alive,
I am looking but am I really stopping to observe what I see
I smell but do I inhale the scent of the fresh morning air or the earth before rain
My body is moving but do I dance to the pulse of life
I hear but do I hear the calling of my heart
I cry but do taste the salt in my tears
I touch but do I notice the softness of my skin.
I travel but am I wandering with an open heart and mind
Join us in Manda and come truly alive as you inhale, observe, feel, listen and taste like it was the first experience ever, using yogic and non yogic practices.

Beach Tower is a beautiful traditional Swahili house so the rooming is fairly unusual. Each room has a huge double bed that can not be separated into 2 singles. Please bear this in mind if you opt for shared. http://beachtowerlamucomeze.com/index.html
Beach Tower house is located on Manda Island, along the coast of the Lamu archipelago, it is one of the most prestigious beach front locations on the Kenyan coast. For centuries, Swahilis from Lamu have been welcoming travellers and traders from Oman and India, their culture is built on this rich and fascinating historical influences.
The Beach Tower offers peace and seclusion in elegant and uncrowded surroundings. It sits in two acres of beachfront grounds filled with neem and acacia trees and enjoys 75 meters of frontage onto the lovely and often deserted beach at Ras Kitau. Sophisticated and uncluttered – it is a lovely place in which to immerse yourself in your senses and to relax.
