Bhakti Soul Retreat

Seán Johnson & The Wild Lotus Band

Bhakti: A Journey of the Heart and Soul

Bhakti, a profound Sanskrit word, captures the universal human experience of connecting to the mystery of life through the deepest expressions of the heart. Join us for an extraordinary, music-infused program that invites you to explore this sacred connection with Seán & The Wild Lotus Band.

In this unique and transformative experience, you will:
– Sing Your Heart Out: Engage in soul-stirring chants and songs that elevate your spirit and foster a sense of unity. Let the power of collective voices resonate, lifting your heart to new heights.

– Rekindle Your Soul: Immerse yourself in the profound beauty of bhakti, rekindling the light within. Feel the warmth of spiritual connection and inner peace as you delve into heartfelt expressions of devotion.

– Awaken the Gods and Goddesses Within: Discover the divine energy that resides within you. Through the enchanting music and guided practices, awaken the sacred archetypes and energies of ancient deities, bringing their wisdom and power into your life.

– Tap Into Your Inner Poet: Unleash your creativity and express your innermost thoughts and feelings. Whether through words, music, or movement, find your unique way to connect with the poetic essence of your soul.

– Dance Like a Child: Embrace the joy and freedom of movement. Dance with abandon, letting go of inhibitions and rediscovering the pure, childlike delight in rhythmic expression.

– Find Your Rhythm: Connect with the natural rhythms of life and music. Whether through dancing, hand percussion, or body rhythm practices, align yourself with the universal pulse and find harmony within.

– Rejoice in the Awakening of Your Unique Voice and Creativity: Celebrate the awakening of your authentic self. Through interactive and engaging activities, explore and nurture your unique voice and creative potential.

– Float Into Mellifluous Lullaby: Conclude your journey with soothing, melodious lullabies. Let the gentle, harmonious sounds carry you into a state of deep peace and tranquility, leaving you refreshed and rejuvenated.

Join us for this extraordinary journey into the heart of bhakti, where music, devotion, and creativity converge to create a transformative experience. Allow Seán & The Wild Lotus Band to guide you through this magical exploration of the heart and soul, and emerge with a renewed sense of connection, joy, and inner peace.
