Throughout history, mythology, and found within sacred practices in many cultures and customs, seclusion or self-isolation is a tool for deep self-reflection. That said, it is helpful to have a map of what to observe within oneself. In this virtual summer retreat, we will discuss and observe the Yamas as a map for self- reflection.
Yama is often translated as “a list of restraints” or “what not to do” while we will look at this aspect, we will also discuss its opposite as a way to discover the elements of our self we can limit, as well as those we share. Both sides provide rich earth for contemplation to continue mapping who we are, and how we show up within our communities.
We start our weekend with a fire ceremony to light the flame of contemplation. Saturday and Sunday will be dedicated to observing the yamas individually and each day we will connect with community in breakout rooms, as well as integrate the feelings and teachings with a creative ritual.
Anamargaret and Chanti are dedicated to making this event a true expression of what it means to question and then to listen deeply and find one’s truth in the liminal, in-between.
