Category: Inspire & Connect
*Inspire & Connect provides retreats that help us pursue inner happiness, peace, freedom, and personal growth through wellness group activities. Here in a safe space, together we discuss ideas without judgment, and share stories we've never told a soul.
*Please note that this is an adult-exclusive retreat available to people 16 years of age and older.
As we welcome a new season of Autumn, we also welcome you on another journey of finding inner balance.
In this journey, we will be enjoying a sound healing experience as the rhythm and sound vibrate throughout our body.
Furthermore, we will also have a chance to feel the instruments and play them with our own hands to gain a deeper understanding.
Throughout the three days, take a deep breath and allow ourselves to clear our minds and prepare for a journey of relief.
What To Expect
Put down your phones together and communicate with the world attentively. Please do not disturb the environment, do not litter, do not maliciously attack others. Wear your most comfortable clothes and bring environmentally friendly tableware. Stay weird and stay unique.
Full schedule will be provided after booking is confirmed.
Meditation Instructor: Karina
IIn this retreat, Karina will be leading Walking Meditation, Mantra Chanting, Savasana Deep Relaxation, Opening up the Chakras Meditation and Bija Mantras for each Chakra. Through the process, it will also help us open up our Chakras in our body.
Karina was born in Argentina, South America and moved to Taiwan in 2006 to study Chinese. Her love for travel and yoga led her to countries like Austria and India to pursue her yoga training. Karina has practiced yoga for more than 22 years and has more than 17 years of teaching experience around the world such as Spain, Portugal, France, England, Austria, Germany, Poland, Argentina, Uruguay, Peru, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, India, Thailand, Canada, Italy and Lebanon.
For the last few years, Pranayama and meditation has become Karina’s passion, as she realized her main purpose in life is to pass on the yoga teachings she has received.
Her spiritual name given by the acharyas of the Sivananda School is “Prema”, which means “Divine Love” - not expecting to receive anything in return. Karina believes that no matter what culture, age, gender, or social condition, it all contains love. Through yoga, Karina hopes to spread this divine love to everyone around her.
*This session will be held in English
Sound Healing Instructor: Aneel & Miya
In this retreat, Aneel & Miya will share with us how sound healing can affect our body. We will have a chance to learn about the knowledge and tips of sound healing that can be brought back into our daily lives. Aneel will be leading the Intentional Chakra Cleanse, Have a Bowl Workshop and Unwind Sound Bath that cleanse our body with the vibration of sounds. Miya will then lead Sound Healing Instrument Jam and Chanting with Singing Bowl that helps us feel relaxed through the sound of the instruments and chant.
Aneel Kumar Thapa is a sound healing instructor who had a nutrition background from Canada. Aneel learns and communicates with sound healing instructors from different cultural backgrounds and American natural medicine experts. His enthusiasm for sound healing led him to making lots of friends in the sound healing groups, who then invited him to promote sound healing lessons and train teachers in Taiwan and overseas.
Aneel Kumar Thapa gained a lot of clinical and teaching experience that helps people deal with their mental health and emotions. Through this, Aneel’s wish is to be able to introduce sound healing into people’s everyday life.
Miya has been in the field of children’s bilingual education for sixteen years. Because she followed Aneel around the world to promote sound healing, Miya also devoted herself to the field. With the help of other sound healing instructors, Miya and Aneel were able to combine what they’ve learned and really embrace it in their lives.
