Our goal is to provide you with tools that you can use when you return home, continuing a healthy lifestyle, maintaining a state of fullness and self confidence throughout your life path.

YOGA

What could be more beautiful than starting a morning with yoga! After all, it is yoga that gently and smoothly starts the body in the morning, stretching the muscles, awakening the body and consciousness. The rays of the rising sun, touching the skin, help a person synchronise with forces of nature, recharging from the heavenly luminary, and be nourished by pure and bright energy for the whole day.

SOUND HEALING

TIBETAN BOWLS

At our Holiday Retreat Tour in Turkey there is an opportunity to penetrate into the practice of working with Tibetan bowls, both individual and group. Massage with Tibetan bowls promotes deep relaxation and restoration of vital energy at cellular levels within the body. The vibrations of Tibetan singing bowls are brought into a meditative state, filling one with calmness, restoring the emotional state, restoring peace and joy to live in the present moment. A wide range of sounds and overtones in the sound of Tibetan singing bowls, gives indescribable sensations, saturates the sensual field of a person, thereby purifying the emotional background and stabilising the psycho emotional state. Sound saturated with overtones helps stop hyper mental activity and completely immerse into the frequency of the melody. With the expansion of the frequencies of sound, consciousness expands, meditation becomes much deeper and more effective.

WAKING THE SOUL THROUGH DANCE

“There is nothing more miraculous for meditation than dance. If you dance completely, if you dance totally, then in such a dance your essence leaves the body. The body will continue to move rhythmically, but you will feel that you are outside the body. And then your real dance begins: below, the body will continue to dance; you will dance at the top. The body is on the earth, you are in the sky. The body is in the earth, you are in heaven. The body will dance the dance of matter, you will dance the dance of consciousness. ”- Osho

SACRED DANCE

Dance can be an excellent tool for the body, mind and soul on the path of spiritual development. The body is the temple of Soul, it has its own special language, which is infinitely rich and beautiful.
Sacred dance is an expression of prayer through body language.
Prayer in motion is the search for the unity of body, mind and soul.
Dancing in sublime states, devoting oneself and one’s dance of Love, it is possible to transform space, attuning it to the energy flows of Harmony and Love.
Movement and dance are inalienable qualities not only for people, but also for nature and space. From the creation of the Universe to the first foetus’s heartbeat, rhythm and dance has existed in the womb. Throughout history, most cultures have used dance to discover the Soul and access the Divine Source.

WAKING THE SOUL THROUGH DRUMMING

For millennia, many cultures have used the ritual rhythm of drums, music and dance as an integral part of rituals, prayers and ceremonies to heal and achieve higher levels of awareness. Dance, mantra, drum rhythm develop the ability to be present “here and now,” eliminate the dissonances created by stress, lead to a deep state of joy, inspiration and harmony with the forces of the universe.

NADA YOGA THROUGH THE SOUNDS AND RHYTHMS OF PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS
Naad is sound and flowering, Nada Yoga is the flourishing of consciousness through sound.
This is a powerful ancient spiritual practice. The drum was one of the main tools used by female priestesses of the ancient world to gain access to altered states of consciousness and to direct the initiates during the ceremony into an ecstatic state. The sounds and rhythms of the drums were performed by adherents of the most ancient mystical schools dedicated to the many-faced forms of the Great Goddess.
At our workshops of the Holiday Retreat Tour in Turkey we use Nada Yoga of sound, mantra and rhythm to comprehend the inner voice and reveal its creative potential. We plunge into a rhythmic journey, explore our fundamental connection with the sound of a drum, a heartbeat, pulse of Earth and rhythm of the universe. The heartbeat of the Great Goddess continues to throb through the rhythm of our drums and sound in the infinity of time and space.

Give yourself a Fabulous moments that will fill your Heart with Beauty, Joy and Inspiration.

Go to the people and the places that set a spark in your Soul.

REVIEWS OF OUR PARTICIPANTS

My husband and I went to this tour retreat in Turkey.
We greatly enjoyed our experience and would love to come back in the near future.
We loved everything!
Here some highlights: Vidhi and Gaspare are absolutely fantastic and cannot thank them enough for the unforgettable experience.
We learned a lot more in depth about meditation and yoga and their vital importance for having inner peace and knowing one-self.
We also loved the reflections on how to put into daily practice conscious awareness.
The accommodation was very comfortable, the food was amazing, did not know that vegetarian food could be so filling and tasty.
Kalkan is a hidden paradise in Turkey, it has lovely beaches yet unspoiled by tourists.
We also liked the ancient ruins of Patara, they offer a glimpse to ancient Lycian history.
We arrived to the retreat with a busy and unsettled mind. We left refreshed and with inner peace.
We hope to keep up with the daily practice of what we learned so the retreat continues with us.

This was my first retreat and I couldn't have wished for better experience!
Kalkan is a beautiful city surrounded by a clear blue sea and stunning mountains that turn red when the sun goes down.
Everything about it makes it absolutely magical : the locals' smiles, the sound of the birds, dogs, the stunning views... it's the perfect place to be at peace and enjoy every second of the day.
Time stops there, it's amazing. In absolute awe with the teachings I received there, I left the retreat with a clearer vision of life, others and myself.
Vidhi is a wonderful teacher and artist, I am so grateful I got to meet her, she gave me the tools to live a more conscious life, accept what is, live in the present moment and become my true self.
I don't think she realised how much she has helped me in such a short period of time. I now feel more confident in my spiritual path.
I highly recommend this Retreat, I don't think there are words to qualify the beautiful energy that goes on there.
Go see it yourself, your life will change forever.

Yoga retreat was something we wanted to experience for a long time.
Practicing yoga while enjoying the sea view and letting sun touch the skin.
Having this all week was an incredible start of the day!
Though, we found this retreat far more than this.
We refueled not only the body, but we helped our soul as well.
Vidhi and Gaspare shared a lot of powerful experiences which we are ready to implement to the way of thinking. Thank you for that.
The beautiful homestay and amazing sea view empowers the feeling of total relaxation.
The food was excellent! Your Italian pasta with pesto was delicious!
We enjoyed very much all the excursions including fantastic beaches of Patara and Kaputas, an adventure trip to waterfalls of Saklikent, and amazing Lycian cities and monuments.
It was a great opportunity to explore this part of Turkey, as well as meeting a lot of wonderful and interesting souls from all over the world!
Grateful for all of this. With Love
