Gathering in ritual and ceremony has been an integral part of human existence since the beginning of humanity. Ceremony is our way to remember that we are part of a larger circle, interconnected and whole together.

Rituals guide us through life, providing meaning as we make sense of the world around us, as well as the world within.

For us, this is an intuitive practice that brings us closer to a magical, healing sense of ‘otherness’ or spirit. Francis Weller says it perfectly - "When we cross the threshold and enter into the healing ground of ritual, we are able to pass into a territory that grants us permission to be authentically who we are". He continues - "We need the invisible hands of Spirit to shelter us, to support us, and to offer us the nourishing comfort that comes from the Other World. This concert between the human and the sacred is ancient; it is held in the bones. Trust this bond. It is our healing ground."

Prayer is our way to connect inward and establish a connection to the divine. Stepping into our power as creator beings and creating magnetism and communion with the great mystery.

We will create sacred space together as a family, remembering what it is to be human upon this earth, connected to the vastness within and without.

It is in community that we are seen and heard fully, where we learn from those around us and exchange stories that connect us to people and places. Our gatherings are curated to nourish this innate need for belonging and honest acceptance so that we can remember what it is to be supported and empowered by those around us. We want to revive the power that is held in these deeply ancestral, indigenous relationships with life, creating containers that inspire real connection and lifelong friendships.

Reconnecting to the language of the body helps us expand our capacity for self-healing and flow in our lives. We believe in the power of movement and stillness. Following our body wisdom, we will guide you through a journey of expansivity, oneness, and acceptance. Our approach is intuitive, weaving different styles of yoga and intuitive movement including tantra, vinyasa, yin, restorative and kundalini. We embrace a deeply embodied practice, which is not about forcing the body into any shape but tapping into our innate needs and sensations.

Integration has been shown to be one of the most important processes of a ritual and ceremonial journey. The integration processes are carried out through expressing and sharing the thoughts and feelings that we have experienced along the ceremonial process, either through creative tools or circles of words.

In Aruna, integration is carried out through circles of word and expression of our vulnerability under the protection of the tribal sphere, using tools of compassionate inquiry and active sharing. No process will remain unattended. At the end of our retreat, we want you to be able to bring your well-integrated and well-carved experience to your own life, to put what you have learned into practice.

Our integration dynamics will also include a process of relaxation and enjoyment at the end of our retreat, where we have a sauna and jacuzzi to calm down and laugh after the exploratory days, so that you can share your experiences and thoughts in an environment of fellowship and friendship.
