About this trip
Rastafari Way Wellness Retreat is 7 days of Rastafari wanderlust; an eco-conscious yoga retreat infusing wellness, food, art, culture, and spirituality creating a dynamic experience of what it means to live The Rastafari Way.
Objective Spiritual awakening and tuning: The Journey calls for serious aspirants who are open to connecting to Source through nature, Rastafari lifestyle and the yoga of life. Infusing all these principles and modalities will not only bring healing but also spiritual ascension on your individual journey.
Proper Relaxation: The rests in the music is just as important as the notes. This retreat is a way of balancing the inner and outer energies through relaxation. When the body and mind are constantly overworked, their natural efficiency diminishes. Modern social life, food, work, and even entertainment makes it difficult for us to relax. You will learn to economize the energy produced by your body. This retreat will help you achieve complete relaxation physically, mentally, and spiritually, with the practice of living in the awareness and being in flow with life, the universe and nature.
Enhance yoga practice with a distinct focus on breathwork, meditation, and asanas (yoga postures/poses): Enjoy the bliss of practicing yoga every day. Each yoga class will be customized for active recovery and relaxation. Classes will be taught at all levels. Instructors will provide modifications for beginner yogis and also opportunities for advanced practitioners to grow their practice. Even if you have never practiced yoga, you will find these sessions energizing, empowering and restorative! Mediation and sound healing are also on the schedule to help you dive deeper; to completely relax and rejuvenate.
Detoxification of the mind and body: On this retreat, you will tap into Source by detoxifying mind to body. This will be done through the works of proper exercise, proper relaxation, and proper nutrition. We will practice daily meditation, breath-work, yoga/asanas and maintain a ital-plant-based nutrition (keep in mind that plant-based diet is optional).
Connect with nature and rejuvenate inner senses: This retreat will be a time to find the dynamic balance so we can easily adapt and change in order to handle the left turns of life without being thrown completely off course. By honoring the rhythms of nature that are also reflected in the cycles of our own lives we allow Self to live in harmony.
The embodiment of Higher Self through the principles and oneness of Rastafari and yoga: Unity and Love! Collectively we are all gathered for reasons greater than matter. Rastafari and Yoga is a portal to transcendence.

Itinerary
Starting our day with breath-work and meditation will set the tone and vibration for the remainder of the day. Tuning in to the creative power of the ambrosial hours (Amrit vela) of the morning. Each day we’ll rise, breathe consciously and meditate. We will also take meditation trod, a silent walk on the beach where you tune into breath and step. For our meditation practice we will be focusing on the five elements (ether, air, water, fire, earth).
