What to bring?
8 full days of immersing yourself in...
...the healing outer Light of sun and moon
...your inner Light through specific traditional Yoga practices
...the invigorating energy of the Ionian sea & island nature
...the relaxing, grounding Greek lifestyle
You are Light!
Re-ignite your
Radience!
Did you know that...
"HA" & "THA" in Hatha Yoga
stands for "SUN" & "MOON"
Your body is a reflection of the universe, the microcosm to the macrocosm.
The brilliant golden envigorating light of the sun and the cooling, soothing, nourishing light of the moon are also present within you!
There are traditional tantric practices of Yoga and Meditation that not only
balance those two energies in us, but also increase our radience, the clarity of the light we emmit...
What dims our Ligth...
Modern society requires us to adjust ourselves to a lifestyle that is no more aligned with the way our body evolved over the millenia.
A reduced connection to nature
a lack of feminine qualities and activities like creativity, art, ceremony, community, cyclical living, rest, creation of sacred spaces
unnatural, processed foods
an overemphasis of the rational mind and
an obsession with individual success and achievement
... with the consequence of forgetting our eternal, spiritual nature, our light.
How we can restore our radience
Authentic Yoga aims at removing all the accumulated layers of unconscious conditionings that weight us down and dim our light.
The vedic sister sciences of Ayurveda and Jyotish (Vedic Astrology) have the same aim and support us in nourishing and understanding the frequency of light that we are.
We will practice authentic Yoga, Meditation, Pranayama and Yoga Nidra.
You will also learn about your birthstar, the specific frequency of light that you bring into this world.
The Ionian Islands are known for their lush green mountains and turquoise-blue waters. There is nothing that relaxes and recharges us more than the untouched and wild Beauty of Nature.
Nothing helps us more to return to our very own essence and remember who we really are in the core of our Being.
The Location
The beautiful Trifilli Retreat Location lies within walking distance from one of the most popular beaches of the island - Lourdas Beach. is set within olive groves and has magnificient views of the majestic Mount Aenos and the Ionian sea. Simply savouring the surroundings is meditation in and of itself.
Our Yoga Practice will take place on a spacious 120m2 shaded wooden deck.
Around the estate are plenty of quiet spots for us to take time out and explore, including the organic vegetable gardens, the fruit tree grove with traditional well.
The grounds are spacious enough to enjoy plenty of solitary moments, yet conveniently laid out to provide easy access to all the shared facilities. Just 300 metres from Spartia beach, you can choose between taking advantage of the local facilties including three restaurants and cafes at just a short walk away, or preferring to stay within the grounds and using the self catering facilities or taking the meals provided.
Just a short stroll down hill offers you the choice of our two nearest beaches, both with trademark Kefalonian crystal-clear shallow waters.

If you think of participating in the Devi's Daughters program, just click that REGISTER button and let a wonderful experience begin. Saraswati had a devotional, sensitive and powerful way of making us understand the essence of the Mahavidyas.Euch day we connected with one of the tantric Goddesses in theory and practice. Mantra chanting, yoga poses, dancing, mudras, meditations, awareness practices - so much diversity.
In the afternoons there was an additional program to explore the vibrant surrounding, beach, temples in Auroville and the region. We had two wonderful weeks with deep experiences and a lot of laughter.
Thank you dear Saraswati!

The world of Indian Goddesses touched me deeply. When you are open to listen and feel deeply, you will be able to apply these wisdoms in your own life and experience an incredible joy and lightness. I recommend this work to every sentient being.
