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 18 years of age and older.
Do you remember the last time you truly lived in the moment?
In our current fast-paced society, it is easy to forget to slow down our steps, take a deep breath, feel every breeze, and look around us.
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: Rob
In this retreat, Rob will be leading Movement - Feldenkrais, Resonance Frequency Breathing, Observing Your Emotions, and Calming Movement. Through each practice, we will be able to learn how to control our breath and body movement. These methods can then be applied into our daily lives to help us stay peaceful and balanced.
“Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.”
Rob has been a certified movement teacher for twenty years and uses yoga, Pilates, strength training, functional movement patterns and Feldenkrais to help people become more symmetrical and balanced while being more mobile. He also helps people discover how to be more in touch with their unconscious and their bodies through in-depth feeling and sensitivity training.
*This session can be held in bilingual, send your request to our official LINE @soulbarn at least one week before the retreat if you need.
Meditation Instructor: Karina
In 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
Wine Tasting Instructor: James
“Wine is a constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.” - Benjamin Franklin
Wine serves a very important factor throughout Jame’s life, from studying a Masters in Red Wine to becoming a wine specialist. He believes each wine has their own characteristics that stand them apart from all the other bottles.
“I’ve always wanted to become a storyteller who uses the easiest language to help you find the perfect bottle for you.” says James.
Here in this retreat with James, let’s find the wine just for you.
*This session will be held in Mandarin
