CONNECTING WITH SOURCE ENERGY.
A trip that will revolutionize your experience of purpose, hope, faith, and interconnection. This retreat includes three daily opportunities to revitalize and clarify with Nicole Smith Levay, Kundalini Yoga & Meditation teacher and somatic therapist. Just over an hour north of Santa Fe, this retreat includes adobe lodging at the gorgeous and mystical homestead of creative artist Georgia O’Keeffe, three meals a day of plant-based cuisine by an in-house personal chef and holistic health coach, and field trips to both Ojo Caliente Mineral Hot Springs and Yogi Bhajan’s ashram “Hacienda de Guru Ram Das.”
**Do you feel disconnected or stuck in your healing process? You’ll have themed classes specifically relating to the science and technology of Kundalini Yoga and its somatic effects on our day-to-day intuitions, choices, and relations.
**You're a caring soul who feels burnt out and uninspired? Take time to replenish and renew! By the retreat's end, you’ll have an embodiment of the “shakti,” or creative force, that drove the feminist and unique soul, Georgia O’Keeffe, to make the neighboring adobe her home and art studio for over 50 years, including many of her most famous works.
**Why now, why this trip? Living out in the most majestic of terrains in all of North America, you will be both humbled and awe-struck by the natural beauty of the rainbow mountains of “Ghost Ranch.” There is nothing like practicing Kundalini Yoga & Meditation in New Mexico.
The value of this retreat is in the space you will create for self connection and healing. You’ll have moments to roam untethered, and opportunities to be in a like-minded tribe of folks walking their individual path in spiritual community. Discover and dissolve your blocks to flowing with source energy in your most meaningful life.
Read the words of artist Georgia O’Keeffe, who totally lived what it means to follow your intuition and trust your connection to source energy, the Generating Operating and Designing/Delivering force of the universe. “Someone else's vision will never be as good as your own vision of your self. Live and die with it because in the end it’s all you have. Lose it and you lose yourself and everything else... Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant, there is no such thing. Making your unknown known is the important thing--and keeping the unknown always beyond you... I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.”
Located two miles from main Ghost Ranch main campus, Casa del Sol is a retreat space at Ghost Ranch dedicated to deeper spiritual contemplation. Casa del Sol is a single story adobe home built in the mid-1930s with bedrooms that open up to a shared plaza. Meetings are held in the living room which is anchored by a large picture window overlooking the mountain range Cerro Pedernal. The home's rooms ("Enchantment" and "Serenity") and adjacent three hermitages ("Traquility"), are set at the base of the multi-colored 700-foot tall cliff wall with a chimney feature standing guard. A heart shaped labyrinth is off to the side, bordered by prayer ties and flags fastened to sagebrush.
The retreat house provides a peacefully quiet space amidst a spectacular desert panorama.
