The Heart of Renewal presents
Mana Shakti, the Cycle of the Chakras
a Women's Retreat with Chrisandra Fox and Niema Lightseed
July 24, 5:00pm - July 26, 5:00pm
Tara Bella Villa, Glen Ellen

This retreat offers a transformational exploration of the spiraling nature of our energetic bodies. Moving from root to crown, personal to universal, this weekend of deep bliss weaves asana, pranayama, chanting, dance, nourishing meals, Moon mysteries, time to create art and personal visions and time with Nature to awaken to our true selves in a community of women. We will explore the unique qualities of the energetic centers in our bodies with an array of practices, held by Nature in the healing presence of sisterhood.

The Heart of Renewal Retreats offer a deep retreat from the busy-ness of daily life to support the awakening of our natural states of witnessing, ease of heart, and joy. In this beautiful setting, we strengthen self-knowledge through refining our rhythms of practice, nourishment, connection to nature, and community.
