Global Flow: Swahili Coast Retreat
January 2-8, 2009
Join Chanda for one week on the Swahili Coast of Kenya with daily yoga, swimming in the Indian Ocean, and relaxation. The East African coast is an invigorating cross-roads of cultural, historical, energetic, and spiritual currents that call us to immerse our selves in life energy known in yoga as "prana". Participants will have the choice to flow with these currents through beachside sunrise and evening Asana and meditation practice, afternoon Tantra/yogic and Sufi dialogues with Chanda and local Sufi practitioners, yoga dance and free form movement with local drummers, and more.
Participants may, of course, relax at any time and imbibe the currents of the ocean from beach facing rooms and meditation locations throughout the grounds. Massage, Ayurvedic treatments, mud baths, dhow trips, swimming with dolphins, and day safaris to Tsavo national park may also be arranged by participants at an additional cost. Please contact Chanda to reserve your spot for this amazing experience. Space is limited.

Since we live where everything is music, everything is dancing. Watch the dust grains moving in the light near the window. Their dance is our dance. We rarely hear the inward music, but we're all dancing to it nevertheless.

Allow yourself to trust joy and embrace it. You will find you dance with everything.
