Embodying Shakti – Prana Flow, Hot Springs + Pre-Shakti Fest in Joshua Tree

about this event

Join us for a Spring retreat in the powerful vortex of Joshua Tree National Monument 

and the healing Wonder Valley Hot Springs with your friends on the path, Shiva Rea and Demetri Velisarius.

Immerse yourself in the rejuvenating power of soaking, meditation, embodying prana vinyasa and desert vision meditation journeys. This in-person retreat offers a local opportunity to unwind, embody, envision, and awaken our seed dreams and wisdom navigation for the new year in a soulful community.

We will soak in the desert colors of the open sky, morning, sunset and and evening in awe. Journey into Joshua Tree Park to meditate with the Ancient Stones. We will enjoy meditation, solar-lunar prana vinyasa, prana danda yoga with a staff, rhythm and flow collective drumming, vision process, and listening to the ancient landscape in Joshua Tree.

We will dive into the power of healing hot springs, yoga, flow, dance, sacred rest, prana danda, and the soul community of Wonder Valley Hot Springs for relaxation and self-realization for life-navigation. 

We will immerse in the healing powers of the natural hot springs with the perspective of the vastness of infinite night skies allowing the warm waters to melt away the tensions of 2023. Shiva and Demetri will guide you through rejuvenating prana flow yoga sessions, to find balance and harmony within your body, mind and soul.

Enjoy exploring the desert oasis that is Joshua Tree. Retreat passes include nourishing, vegetarian ayurvedic stews and teas as we reset in self-care and sol-renewal.

  Join us as we tend the fire of our life-force and embrace an incredible opportunity to start the new year connecting with the ancient stones and mineral springs for a sacred reset, greater perspective, vision and embodiment. 

Reserve your pass today as each session is for 15-20 people.
