5-Day Emaho Yoga Release & Renew Retreat

October 25-29, 2023
Radhadesh, Belgium

Located in the Chateau de Petite Somme, surrounded by unspoiled flora and fauna and long stretches of forest and countryside, this is a wondrous place to accomplish one’s spiritual practice (Sadhana).

Cuddle with the cows at the Radhadesh Cow Sanctuary

We fell in love with Radhadesh during our first visit and we knew right away that we wanted to share this place with our retreatants. The castle, the energy and community, the food, and even the cows that are living a peaceful life on the campus create a joyful and peaceful atmosphere that is as unique as it is rejuvenating.

Join us for mindful walks in the forest, intensive Vinyasa Flow Yoga and meditation sessions in the morning and Yin & Restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra and Soundbath in the evening. There will also be Kirtan (sacred chanting) every evening, as is customary in the castle, and you will learn more about Bhakti Yoga, or the Yoga of devotion.

LEVEL:
This retreat is open for everyone but absolute beginners.
