RagaTherapy Sound quest in Nature
An exquisitely designed two day retreat in deep nature working in ceremony, with ancient healing music of India called Raaga put together in unique synthesis with soul journeying, prayer and meditation. Through the elemental forces , cold old water bathing and fire ceremony will help bring us into the temple of our hearts revealing the holiness of our true essence.
During these two days we will be deeply held by Eartha and Jason to experience how unique Raags work on healing and nurturing the bliss/emotional body.
Raags are ancient music formulas of true music healing, you will be bathed in the tones of this beatific music, originally developed in temple sound rituals. Raags can resonate with the deep and hidden places of the heart, going far beyond the mind they have the magical ability to allow us to feel several emotions simultaneously, showing us the divine intelligence of our hearts.
We will delve into the qualities of the emotions using contrasting Raags in a process and share the mystical teachings of the Raasas (essences of emotions), the tantric root of all sacred Indian arts. Raags will be played live on the evocative instrument Bansuri, accompanied by the ancient meditational drone instrument the Tampura. Conscious work with the emotions are a catalyst to awakening to the self and the ‘higher‘ divine emotions of soul, gently and safely breaking down the limitations of the perceived ego. Jason Kalidas is a professional Bansuri player and studied Indian classical music over the last 25 years in Varanasi, India. Eartha is a initiated Shamanka working with soul, shamanism, initation and ceremony for 25 years, with teachers from various cultures.
We will take you on a profound experience working with ceremony , Prayer, the natural world and ancient Indian soundscapes to bring us deep into the temple of our hearts, revealing the holiness of our true essence. We will immerse ourselves in the sacred raags and hold ceremony and meditation so we can come fully into our heart space to receive the raags fully.. Moving into reciprocity with this sacred music, allowing it to come fully into our being through ceremony. This full receiving of this ancient sacred music through the exquisitely designed ceremonies and journeys guides us to open our hearts fully as we can surrender into the holding of the soundscapes generated through the bansuri and tanpura.
We can initiate ourselves through our dying or our dark nights, our personal struggles by letting our hearts open and feel our soul. The music and the eco system of Gaia will be our guide for this weekend sound quest. As we allow the beauty of the music to take us into the deep letting go and surrender, we awaken to the light of our soul, our grace. We can journey with the soul to bring our inner radiance to the world. Our hearts radiate our soul out into the very fabric of life and we find our place within the dance of living energy that is the soul of the world. We will be making ceremony, playing dawn, dusk, evening raags in ceremony, meditating and prayer, making puja to awaken to the immense love we are. We will have the incredible Rachel Shivapriya helping us to embody the holiness/wholeness of who we truly are though her powerful yoga practices, every morning.
