Activities & Workshops

INDIGENOUS HEALING ARTS

Mexico is a land filled with so much beautiful culture, history, and ritual. We will experience a Mayan sweat lodge known as  Temazcal, which literally means house of heat. It is a purification and cleansing ritual used commonly to heal your body and soul.

 

 

We will also be partaking in a cacao ceremony. The cacao fruit is considered sacred in Mexico and in many parts of Central and South America. We will learn more about the powers of Cacao and take part in an authentic cacao ceremony (and yes, eating some is a part of it!). Raw cacao in ritual doses is celebrated for its capacities to open hearts and supports transformation through self-love.

YOGA, BREATH & MEDITATION

We will begin each day with a yoga practice, some breathing exercises, and a guided meditation. Move your body, focus your mind and feel as bliss fills every cell in your body. Discover the power of starting every day with a practice to tune in and awaken your spirit. Be inspired to take some of these tools home so you can continue feeling this sense of peace even after the retreat.

Feminine alchemy

Feminine alchemy is the opposite of transcendence. It is about immanence. It’s about being more fully here – in the human realm of love, loss, joy, pain, and ecstasy. It involves the total loving embrace of all aspects of yourself – exactly where you are at in this moment. It means being willing to let of go of the addiction to trying to fix yourself (and others) or make yourself better. Instead, it’s about activating the greater powers of the divine feminine archetypes that naturally call you into more mature, free and wise expression.

sacred sexuality

Sexuality has been left in the in the dark for hundreds of years. It's been shamed and condemned by religion and utilized by corporations, and advertising agencies as a marketing strategy for unconscious consumption and manipulation. It is time to bring the origin of life as a human to the light and to start using our life force energy as a means to the highest form of creation on this planet. Together we will explore practices that will allow us to express our sexuality as a sacred practice to live a healthy life. Dance

FOOD

We believe improved well-being begins with the food we eat. You will be introduced to a raw fruit based diet to allow your mind and body to detox and to increase and refocus your energy. This is the beginning of your journey of self-healing. Begin to listen to your body and understand what your body needs and wants. What you eat has a direct effect on your health. Learn about superfoods, ways to cleanse and detox, and how to nourish yourself for peak performance. Enjoy workshops and cooking classes from our health and nutrition specialists.

SOUND MEDICINE

Unlock the medicine of your own Sound Singing is such a vulnerable expression for us. We think we are only allowed to sing if we sing in a certain way. And because of this idea, we have lost our voices. We have lost most of our creativity and our true expression. And this is one of the reasons we follow and copy. Because we deny ourselves the greatest privilege we acquired at birth which is the medicine of our own voice Our own voice can remove any blockages in our physical and energetic body and our mind Free yourself, experience self-healingthrough the release of your own highest vibration Lets allow ourselves to be an instrument for sacred universal sound to come through and hold space for each other as we raise our voices I know your soul is calling for it

PIPE CEREMONY

The pipe ceremony is a sacred ritual for connecting physical and spiritual worlds. "The pipe is a link between the earth and the sky". Nothing is more sacred. The pipe is our prayers in physical form. Smoke becomes our words; it goes out, touches everything, and becomes a part of all there is. The fire in the pipe is the same fire in the sun, which is the source of life." The reason why tobacco is used to connect the worlds is that the plant's roots go deep into the earth, and its smoke rises high into the heavens.

Bianca Kempe

A great teacher once told me: "Life is an 18-inch journey, from the head to the heart" - this is the journey I am on and I have never felt more Alive. Feeling unfulfilled working in the finance industry lead to three powerful months in Bali, igniting my transformation. I was determined to better understand Humanity- What is our Purpose? How is Humanity going to evolve? I have since been on an exciting adventure immersing myself in the study of Yoga, Vedanta and plant medicine. I am forever grateful for the amazing teachers and beings in my life who have passed down existential knowledge including Sri Dharma Mittra, Guru Singh, Sivananda, Pi Villaraza, and Jani Jaatinen.  I am commited to BE a true expression of my heart, to approach and experience everything I do with totality, giving 100% of my Self to the moment. I currently run retreat company, Art of Living Retreats, with my loving partner, Mango Joe. I also run a Vancouver based social enterprise called Doze City, an organization that brings together the community in various community service events
