If there is anything at all in this world which

can change the heart of a man in a very quick

time, that is music and dance. Swami Sivananda, Bliss Divine

  

Immerse in a transformative learning experience that will enrich your life forever. Music lovers, healers and musicians from around the world gather every year for 9 days to be nourished by the auspicious energy of a spiritual community and the divine warmth of the Caribbean ocean. This retreat offers a delicate balance between training in the sound work you love while resting and swimming in the most beautiful beach. Practitioners return every year to advance their practice in this perfect setting that enables both, more focus and more flow. It’s simply irresistible!

 

Lead by Silvia Nakkach and John Beaulieu  –  two world-renowned teachers of the wisdom of the yoga of sound, the voice, and modern science – you will discover and integrate new modes of perception and listening that provide a reassuring structure for your practice.

Time for devotional chanting and to gain insights on how to facilitate chanting and sound healing circles. Enjoy mesmerizing sunsets, daily concerts, and enlightening lectures.

This year again we added a  Weekend PRACTICUM devoted to integration and individual supervision.

Silvia and John teaching together turns into an ecstatic dance of the left and the right brain. Daily science, tuning forks clinics, spiritual insights, inner work. humor, and music improvisation in sacred space. 

Reserve your room soon & consider enjoyment!
We’ll love to see you there!
