Charge is a word for the basic life force, also called prana, chi, libido, or simply “The Force.”  This force is crucial if we are to meet  challenges, heal past wounds and manage the stress of modern life. When we live fully in the center of our charge, we ignite the chakras, and open to greater aliveness and awakening. The exercises in this workshop move energy at a deep level, and can be done on yourself or used therapeutically with others. Some are simple techniques that can be done in a matter of minutes, anytime, anywhere, while others have a cumulative effect when practiced over time. Whether you are a therapist or practitioner of the healing arts, or simply want to embrace your life in a more meaningful way, understanding Charge is essential for mastering your own  "Force" and becoming all you can be!

After learning about CHARGE in the opening night's presentation, this workshop will take you through the live experience of your subtle body through bio-energetic exercises designed to move energy through blocks and bring about balance between charging and discharging. This is not hand waving over your chakras, but a deep igniting of your sacred core, the central channel between heaven and earth through which the chakras are aligned.

Learn breathing exercises to generate energy and techniques for calming energy as well as how to:

• Ground your energy through your first chakra

• Open to pleasure in your second chakra

• Ignite your power in your third chakra

• Soften your heart in your fourth chakra

• Release blocked communication in your fifth chakra

• Open to vision in your sixth chakra

• And connect with divine charge in your seventh chakra.

AHKí Retreat is a  tranquil and enchanting facility nestled in 5.5 mountain acres, located  near the Pacific coast, in the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica and has  been named one of five ‘Blue Zones’—where people are said to be  healthiest and happiest. Imbued with lush green mountainsides, blue  ocean waters and plentiful sunshine. As remote as AHKí feels, it is only  minutes away from beaches, kayaking, horseback riding, surfing,  zip-lining, nature hikes, shopping, restaurants and more.  

A truly sacred space - AHKí is built specifically according to the ancient science of Vastu Shastra, “the yoga of space”,  invoking peace, wellness and harmony - with the environment as well as  within one’s self. All the structures are built oriented in conjunction with the 9 directions, 5 elements, the earth’s vibrational grid, and the  planetary energies.  Nestled amongst the trees along a mountain ridge, are two beautiful and spacious cabinas with a total of 6 large guest  rooms. The heads of all the beds are positioned to the south or east, a Vastu principle that helps to induce a restful night’s sleep. All rooms are decorated with handcrafted Costa Rican hardwood furniture made by local artisans. Rooms have large ceiling fans, large windows and doors,  and plenty of overhead ventilation for optimal airflow. Each room has a private bath with a large unique, indoor/outdoor hot water shower, and patios or decks that command stellar views of the mountains and valleys.  Shared occupancy only.
