7 Day Chakra Retreat
"RE-ALIGN YOUR DESTINY"
Brightland's, Leura NSW
with Natalie Almond
30 October - 6 NOVEMBER
Take a 7-day journey into our infinite, universal energy centres, to connect with self, enhance deficient areas in body, heart, mind and create transformation to re-align your destiny.
Using processes that cleanse and nourish our inner and outer body, enabling us to let go of life's stresses and see life from a new perspective. As we move through so much change in life at this moment we can use this time to realise our potential and fulfil it. This may be for mental, physical and or emotional health and wealth.
We will concentrate on one chakra per day, beginning with grounding and reconnecting us with the earth and our physical body. Flowing into our emotional being, to activate our intention, pulsing it into every cell, then allowing the process to take place. Shifting into to a transformative experience and returning to our deep connection with spirit and the universe. We will finally get to feel and trust our larger selves again!!
There will be serious and deep moments, times of love, fun and laughter as we come together to support each others’ journeys and reach our highest potential.
There will be a variety of practice modalities which we will draw from enhancing our state of well being to transform into wellness and lightness and love. One week immersion gives us the chance to completely break through.
Enjoy walks from the luxury mansion, into the grand mountains to enjoy the depths of the earth, the vast space, and the heights of the mountains with its pure forest air! It's time to take a break to just be.
We may even catch a fall of snow and celebrate Yulefest!

The Chakras
Join Natalie Almond illuminating one chakra per day:
Beginning from cleansing the nadis (3 major energy channels in the spine) where the chakra energy travels, from the base of the spine to the brain.
We begin by grounding into the base chakra; reconnecting and earthing
and ending with a deep connection to everything. We will be working with the Tantric, Vedic and Aboriginal traditions.
There will be serious, deep moments and times of love, fun and laughter as we come together to support each others’ journeys reaching our full potential. Working as a group mind no matter how near or far increases the energy 10-fold!
The meaning of chakra is wheel or vortex, they are the near meeting points of nerve endings and endocrine glands creating spinning wheels of energy.
The chakras are power stations in our physical bodies that distribute the universal flow of energy/life force throughout our systems, helping to keep our physical, emotional and mental states in balance and harmony with the universe. This way our souls can act accordingly through the physical and spiritual.
This universal life force also known as; prana, qi or energy is our life's sustenance, this life energy flows through and around everything animate and inanimate keeping us alive. When the life force leaves us our physical life ends. Increasing this flow of energy through our chakras improves quality of life.
The base three chakras hold all of our life/lives programing, our ancestral memory; it is the seat of self, our body energy. The next three chakras, our soul energy are what we are journeying or being now, according to what we are carrying in the lower three. Reprogramming and healing the base 3 gives us space to create a beautiful life through the soul. The 7th chakra and above is being in everything, our spirit energy, seeing all as one as the energy flows through the crown and down through the energy stations-the chakras.
Various scriptural texts and teachings present a different number of chakras. There are many chakras in the subtle human body according to the tantric texts; maybe thousands, but there are seven chakras that are considered to be the most important ones. These seven run up, around and within the spinal cord at various nerve centres. Even though they are of the subtle body they affect our physical, emotional and mental bodies.
Each of these seven chakras either balance or imbalance the endocrine glands, depending on the efficiency or deficiency of the energy flow due to our posture, life experiences and injuries.
Working on the chakra system brings health and harmony to all of our systems; nervous, glandular, circulatory, reproductive, digestive, respiratory and increases the grey matter of our brain. After 7 days of yoga and meditation the brain's function will increase greatly.
Sit with a chakra and let it speak to you. This can lead to great transformative experiences as well as self and universal understanding.

About Natalie Almond - Well Being Facilitator
I have been running yoga and wellness retreats for 28 years and have experience in many modalities of healing and wellness. I bring this to you as a special gift of my 32 years practice and learning.
I am trained in Hatha Yoga and Alchemical Yoga from the ancient tantric traditions and other transformative and healing modalities
My love is to feel energy, flow with it and weave it throughout the retreats, which we will do through the chakras, creating a warm and balanced flow.
"If you decide to come alone you will not feel alone, you are more than likely to leave the retreat with lasting friendships".
Your retreats are designed to be deeply intense and at the same time help you to break out and have fun.
Yoga sessions are fluidly strong (not a crazy workout), guided meditations take you on a transformative journey and magical circles to encapsulate the experience. We also enjoy sessions of light hearted fun such as Sound and movement, body percussion, emotional techniques and much more.

What People Have To Say
|
I loved all the learnings, the approach was manifest, I can now visualise what the chakra looks like. I got the value out of the energy shifting and feel like a flower where my petals are opening.
|
I'm on day 6 of the retreat, I've been on many retreats, the difference with Natalie's is that it's more looking into yourself.
|
After doing yoga for 11 years I have only been on the surface and now I feel I have gone deeper
|
After a week I feel energised and open to a lot more than expected.I enjoyed from the beginning. I would like to come again.
Beautiful week, beautiful people |
