Sacred Heart Opening Cacao
Journey home to your heart with Xicoy, the Cacao Spirit, one of the most playful spiritual guides in ancient Mayan cosmology. The Mayans have used cacao in ceremony for ages to connect with their hearts. We invite you to do the same in this sacred ceremony steeped in ritual and reflective heart circle sharing. Be warned: your heart will expand beyond your imagination, leading to pure bliss, laughter, joy and allowing more of who you are to shine through.

Fire Ceremony
Fire Ceremony
Mayan Fire Ceremony
A Mayan spiritual guide will share a traditional Mayan Day Count Fire Ceremony with your group. You will be encouraged to participate in this interactive earth-work ceremony. This ritual includes foundational teachings about the Mayan calendar day count and the co-creation of the sacred fire. In the age-old custom, you’ll use chocolate, candles, cinnamon, myrrh, copal (tree resin) and the appropriate herbs to honor the energies of each day in the Mayan calendar. Those interested are encouraged to inquire in advance about booking a 15 or 30-minute personal reading with the spiritual guide which would take place after the ceremony.

Nova Yoga provides you an experience that transforms the way you see and feel the world around you. Through carefully planned retreats, classes and events, we give you the tools to experience the magic of the present moment and dive deeper into your unique natural bliss. This includes learning to be still and accepting yourself exactly as you are. We believe you don't need to add anything to your being, but rather take away the build-up of stress, expectations and limiting beliefs impressed on us throughout our lives. All are welcome!

Wonderful yoga retreat led by Nova and Lila Hamed and her team. It was held in a beautiful location in the mountains of North Carolina held at Moonlight Rising retreat center.

Wow! From the moment I pulled into this restful, lush, inviting retreat I was immersed in calm. All of the elements worked so well together for respite, amazing yoga / teachings, new friendships, emotional balance, comfortable accommodations and excellent food and hospitality. I highly recommend Lila and her team who provided their wisdom and instruction in the retreat's daily programs. It was above and beyond any expectations. THANK YOU Inner Sanctuary Team and Hosts Bond and Claire.

This retreat was exactly the reset I needed. The retreat center was beautiful and peaceful, the food was absolutely exceptional! Lila is such a graceful and calming presence. Her graciousness made it a safe haven for self-reflection, vulnerability and growth. I felt deeply nourished—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. What an amazing retreat.

This was such an incredible experience. First of all, Diala's yoga classes are like non other. She gets each counter stretch just right and my body just feels sooooo good when we're done. The additional guided meditations and yin she sprinkled in were lovely. I also enjoyed the breathwork exercises a lot. The retreat center she chose was immaculate and was truly a pivotal part of the experience. Having a hands on host who guided us on an incredible waterfall hike and to a basically private beach was also an extra treat. It was comfortable to be guided by a local and he took us to places we wouldn't have found otherwise. Diala's dedication to researching the right venue resulted in an above and beyond experience.

Wonderful! Three instructors shared their expertise and guidance through yoga, meditation, how to show care for yourself (in actual practical ways!), and much more... Delicious lunch with lots of variety (and plenty of it!). Thank you for the thought and care that went into planning every part of this, and the genuineness with which you all deliver. Can't say enough good things about Nova Yoga - and I Love that this company makes their classes accessible to anyone whose financial situation might be a barrier. Thanks for all!!
