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 we discuss ideas without judgement, 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.
Have you ever felt at peace when you hear a certain sound? The sound waves vibrate through our ears and stimulate the brain to cleanse our soul from within.
In this retreat, observe the world with all your five senses. Take your time for every breath, and slowly stretch out your body.
At the end of the retreat, you will find your body feeling lighter and your mind happier.
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 Pranayama Meditation, 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 will be held in Mandarin
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 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 being 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.
