Long retreat Bali 25

Description

I have chosen Bali to hold this much-cherished notion of a long retreat. It is a familiar place for many coming to my retreats. The setting is quiet yet allows independence. Accommodation and living costs allow flexibility and freedom. The retreat will be held at Santra Putra in Penestann. The long retreat will run over a month and a shorter retreat for the first two weeks is also an option. The weekends will be free. The usual schedule of 2.5 hrs of sitting and asana practice in the mornings and two hours again in the afternoon. The idea of any retreat I give is of a community. gathering, sharing practice and conversation to work together. It is time enough for a deeper immersion. I invite experienced practitioners who long to have more time set aside to absorb and become quieter. There will be times of sacred silence, and times for community. Time to be alone with your own activities. I would go to India each year and have this time, the learning was deep and there was time not to move on to the next thing. I so relished it. One day a week on the weekend I would do other stuff, shop, go to temples enjoying India. Having compartments in my life helped me to settle and deeply enjoy each. The retreat is for students with Iyengar experience and ready to apply themselves, to dive deep, and let the waters of practice and quiet flow over them. Accommodation: Accommodation is an extremely reasonable $800 and is allocated on a first come first choice.
