YOGA RETREAT WITH LINDA SPACKMAN - Serifos Greece
12 - 19 September 2027
Honoring Directions and Finding Center
Join Linda for a week of yoga, chanting and astronomical observations!
Inspired by a traditional Vedic Chant honoring forces that enliven the directions, we will chant, practice asana, and observe the spinning motion of sun, moon and stars in the sky. We will offer our respects to and ask for clarity from sources in middle of the flow of mythic waters.
As we find ourselves surrounded by water on an island in Aegean, we create the possibility though practice and personal time to reflect, for connection to a still point in the center of constant movement and change.
Suggested reading ‘Orbital’ by Samantha Harvey - a novel about rotating around the earth on the international space station.
