Retreats, Workshops, Outside Groups
Retreats
Once in a while at the ashram we offer retreats to residents and guests, retreats such as vipassana meditation, detoxing, dance, yoga, arts, etc: whatever excites us at that moment, or whatever we feel we need.
Workshops
From time to time we invite guests from outside to take part in our workshops, such as:- Open Your Heart (weekend or seven days)
- One Circle of Friends Gathering (weekend)
- In Harmony With Nature (four days)
- From Sanity to Insanity and Beyond (nine days)
- Intuitive Massage
Outside Groups
Sometimes we also welcome people from outside Samaya to hold their retreats or workshops with us, but we do not offer Samaya as an open venue for hire as that would disrupt our life at the ashram. We only welcome outside groups when we feel they will harmonize with our lives -- we join the group, the group joins us. For instance, if someone offers to hold a workshop on something we'd all like to experience, such as a form of heart dance, a set of breathing techniques or a course from the multiversity (see on the right), we explore how we could work together. For one group we may completely drop the ashram's normal activities, for another group the facilitator may be excited to incorporate some of our daily meditation techniques, such as dynamic, kundalini, nataraj into their programs. If you would like to hold a retreat or workshop at Samaya and think we might "dance" well, please contact us.
