Experience a Songdance Retreat
Songdance Retreats offer a unique mix of nature immersion and conscious guidance with music and creative expression through Authentic Singing and Dancing. Under the professional and experienced guidance of Yavin & Upala (founders and directors of Songdance) you'll be invited to gently open up to your inner creativity and self-healing capacities. It's a powerful and deep process which is both effortless and deeply joyful, even when pain and heavy emotions are involved.
During a Songdance Retreat you will always…
• Be welcomed in a wonderful, natural and conscious environment. We only work with the best retreat centres!
• Enjoy veggie natural/organic/home-grown food.
• Work with the power of Authentic Singing & Dancing in a gentle and inviting manner. This includes awesome live music and mantra singing.
• Be supported to grow and deepen with the experienced and loving guidance of Yavin & Upala.
• Feel at home with an intimate group of like-minded conscious individuals who all choose to be there in truth and love. We keep our groups small to allow for deeper process work where needed.
A warm welcome to you
Reconnect With Self through Authentic Singing and Dancing
The retreat is all about connecting deeply with your Self. That which you are is much more than just your life story, your thoughts and your convictions. You are a powerful, creative, beautiful being capable of so much!
Authentic Singing and Authentic Dancing are a very potent gateway to access a state of Self Awareness, whereby your song, dance, and breath happens THROUGH you rather than being done BY you. This is when pure creativity sparks and a deep joy fulfils every fibre of your being.
We engage in practices to reconnect with our Self, NOT as a means to escape from possible heavy feelings and blocked emotions. On the contrary, Authentic Singing and Dancing are particularly powerful to embrace all of us, our light and our shadow, our wanted and unwanted feelings. Being deeply present to all that you are is an immensely liberating experience, leading you to a state of authentic being.
And remember, for Authentic Singing and Dancing, you don't need to have any former experience or talent whatsoever. Authentic Singing and Dancing is NOT about being 'good' but about being 'true'.
You'll be welcomed in the beautiful Bodhi Khaya Retreat Centre, a peaceful haven nestled at the foot of the Witkransberg, in the beautiful Overberg region in South-Africa. This will be your safe space to connect with nature, find deep rest and renewal, experience inner transformation and awaken to the wisdom of your heart.
The retreat will be guided by Yavin & Upala, husband and wife and founders and directors of Songdance. Songdance courses are loved and actively practiced by thousands of people all over the world. Yavin brings powerful live piano compositions to accompany the singing and the dancing. He is often being accompanied by a percussionist. Upala is holding a safe space in which deep healing and profound transformations can occur. Both have extensive experience in facilitating workshops (both in person and online) and retreats in Europe. It’s the first time Yavin & Upala bring this work to South Africa.
