Crestone Summer Yoga & Meditation Retreat


“Melt into the primordial stillness of Kali

Come Home to Pure Unconditional Love 

The Mountain Zen Center Crestone, Colorado 

Wednesday July 31 - Sunday August 4, 2024

This year, we will play in the world and the ferocious and deepest aspect of Love, exploring Kali-Ma Sadhana. (This will be rich, juicy and humbling). When we are in “moment by moment” awareness of gratitude for all things in our lives both challenging and liberating we experience her Grace. In this retreat we will discuss the primal urge and longing we each have to feel full, worthy and complete. We will look to our shadow as a portal into her teachings. Through myth, mantra, movement, chanting, and meditation we will access our ability to harness ourselves to life, to creativity and to personal destiny.

The tranquil and calm environment that the Mountain Zen Center offers allows you to immerse in a setting of peaceful steadiness. In combination with the Goddess as your guide, you’ll feel the space and support you need to fully embrace your inner journey.

  

Take the Seat of Your WORTHINESS

 

Goddess as Our Guide: KALI

On this retreat, we will explore the mythology, mantra, mudras, and living yoga vinyasa practice of Kali Ma. 

We will explore what Kali teaches us about our shadow and light, our own process of creation and destruction, and how to dismantle that which no longer serves our higher good.

Together we will unpack the story, gifts and challenges of Kali as our own embodied story.

We will explore her symbolism through myth, meditation, mantra, inquiry, chanting, asana and more.
