This retreat gives space for increasing participation in the divine sport of life; space for you to experience a Light-Hearted perspective on life. Practice a little yoga that is likely to get you laughing. Experience ancient practices of yoga and meditation that will connect you with the quality of Light within.
This retreat gives the opportunity to experience the feel-good effect of endorphins released through the act of laughing, helping not only to strengthen the immune system, reduce stress (balancing the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems), but also slow the aging process. |

Breath is the vehicle of the life energy or prana. By becoming more attuned to our own breath, we become more connected to this life energy which sustains us. The practices of pranayama help us expand our capacity to flow with this life force - in turn helping us to maintain a healthy body and mind. They also help us become more aware of the increasingly subtle layers of our existence. This retreat will apply yogic practices focused on the breath:
to deepen awareness of and connectedness with the breath;
to breathe in a way that nourishes and sustains well-being of body and mind;
to develop increasing control of breath and and also of mind. |

| Description: |
"Yoga is the absolute mastery over the functions of the mind;
yoga is absolute equilibrium and equipoise in any situation.
Yoga is the ability to experience
what we have not experienced up to now."
Swami Satyananda Saraswati
Karma yoga expresses itself as yoga in action. In this, we endeavour to bring the increasing awareness that is developed through the practices of asana (postures), pranayama (breathing) and meditation, into our day to day actions. We endeavour to act with awareness and with equanimity, allowing the positive aspects of nature to be revealed. In selfless service, we learn how to act without attachment to the success or failure of our actions and in this process, conditioned patterns of thinking and behaviour can be observed.
This retreat gives space for experiencing the practice of karma yoga, learning skills for mindful and sustainable living and also allows contribution (3 hours per day) to the work of Parito. Yoga and meditation practices that increase connectedness with the heart and develop the capacity for more alignment between the heart, the hands and the head, will also be given. |

LEADERS:
Swami Muktidharma & Swami Karma Karuna
OVERVIEW:
Explore sound vibration and the corresponding geometrical forms to access and manage the different layers of the mind. These ancient therapeutic tools increase concentration, expand awareness, release old patterns, enhance relaxation and unleash creativity.
Tauhara Retreat & Conference Centre,
60 Acacia Heights Drive, Taupo
Acacia Bay 3377
New Zealand
DETAILS:
According to Tantra there are three powerful tools that bring the practitioner into the experience of expansion and liberation. These tools are Mantra,Yantra and Mandala. This retreat will focus on Mantras and Yantras.
Mantra is sound vibration. Sound is energy and has an explosive force like dynamite. As a Mantra is repeated it begins to explode the knots held in the unconscious mind and free the energy to move and expand.
Yantras are geometrical diagrams composed of a small dot surrounded by symbolic circles, triangles and squares. Yantras are the forms manifested in the consciousness by the use of Mantras. In the first steps to meditation we link the mind to the physical body, breath, Mantra then Yantra.
The practice of meditation through Mantras and Yantras is intended to reach the nucleus of the self. Unless there is an explosion at this centre point there cannot be an awakening or liberation.
The weekend will commence at 6pm with dinner and a scheduled 7pm opening ceremony. You may start arriving at 4pm on the 10th. Also, please not the retreat will end around 2pm on the 12th (after lunch).
