An exploration of love and devotion

Explore Bhakti, the yoga of love & devotion on a body, mind, heart & soul level

In this 3-day weekend retreat, we're using a variety of yogic practices such as asana, meditation, kirtan, conscious dance, ritual, sound & philosophy to explore what it means to live a life of love & devotion. A chance to dive (deeper) into the practices of Bhakti Yoga and explore how these beautiful teachings can be applied in everyday life.

Reasons to join us

  • TRANSFORMATIONAL EXPERIENCE. Take part in a process of inner shedding to blossom from within. Explore how Bhakti Yoga helps you to embody pure love, inner stillness and your most authentic self.
  • DISCOVER BHAKTI YOGA. Find out how this ancient yogic path leads to a state of continual contentment, purpose, faith and an open, life-loving heart.
  • KIRTAN. Let yourself be guided and chant the harmonious melodies of Indian mantras, allowing the flow of the warmest feeling of joy.
  • MEDITATION. Explore the realms of the mind and learn how to be your own witness, one breath at a time.
  • DANCE. With music comes dance and dance makes community. Our contact dance session allows you to safely express & feel through movement.
  • PRESENCE. Learn to anchor in the present moment. In the here and now is where your inner wisdom, intuition and heart guidance resides.
  • SERVICE. There is so much power in offering our time and effort selflessly, with no concern about a return. Experience why giving is receiving.
  • SHARED PRACTICE. Deepen and explore your personal spiritual practice and get inspired by new perspectives and schools of thought.
  • SUPPORTING COMMUNITY. Follow your heart and practice being your authentic self while being supported by a community of beautiful, open souls.

Let Bhakti transform your heart

Together we awaken prema, the pure love that resides in all our hearts. This love helps us blossom into our most authentic, soulful selves. The path of Bhakti Yoga transforms the heart & lets us look beyond the material world to remind us that we are so much more than just the mind, thoughts and body.

Prema anchors us deeply into our hearts, connects to our authentic expression of self and lets us discover our unique gifts which want to be shared with the world.


Essentially, it encourages us to cultivate a more loving, selfless and devotional self – a self that is devoted to life, to love, to our paths and to that which goes beyond words.


This retreat is a chance to initiate this flowering process in a carefully created space amongst like-minded spiritual seekers.

The people who invite you to blossom

"Lisa found yoga almost 10 years ago and has been on the path ever since. Over the years, Lisa was fortunate enough to travel and study from various great teachers all over Europe and India which allowed her to explore various aspects of yoga, meditation, mindfulness, embodiment practices, mentoring as well as ayurveda – but it's especially bhakti yoga, the path of love and devotion that has transformed her heart deeply.


Lisa is driven by the desire for more humanity, more vulnerability and connection. She's committed to co-create a world that is more sustainable – for us and the planet. A world in which people can express and develop themselves freely and can connect to their innate qualities of joy and contentment. By doing this they feel nourished and whole and it comes naturally to spread love and share their gifts with others. She believes that everyone deserves a life that is not dominated by productivity and "success", but by how much our hearts are filled."

"Lenka’s love for conscious movement started with yoga about 8 years ago and continued with studying different conscious movement modalities when she realized that “the body knows before the mind does.”


Dance improvisation, and connecting to the language of her body quickly became the way to express her authentic self and to move emotions. But most importantly - it became a sweet surrender to “being moved”, it became a state of being, rather than doing.


This is what took her on the path of Bhakti yoga. Lenka has been studying Somatics and conscious dance modalities with multiple world-known teachers and she is especially passionate about Contact Beyond Contact - a dance and healing journey that combines Contact Improvisation, Authentic Movement, Qi Gong, Yoga, Taoism, Daoism and behavioralism.


Lenka sees moving and dancing with others as an anecdote to life – she will teach a special dance experience that allows us to experience love & devotion in motion.
