Mantra Sacred Sound Immersion

Lesbos, Greece

July 6-13 Lesbos, Greece

with Saul David Raye & Jim Beckwith

Please join us this summer for a very special immersion retreat on the beautiful greek island of Lesbos (also Mytilene). We will attune to the summer rhythms of greek life, swimming in the Aegean sea, watching beautiful sunrises and sunsets, eating delicious local food, enjoying hiking and sightseeing. The focus of the retreat will be on awakening our individual and collective creativity and immersing deeply into teachings on Nada Yoga (yoga of sound) and the practice of mantra.

Lesbos has a rich history in myths of Greece and has always been a favorite place for artists, poets and writers as well as a popular destination for romance. Lesbos has in fact been the home over the years to some of the great artists and a part of the creative heartbeat of greek mythology, what an epic place of pilgrimage to awaken and nourish your inner creativity.
