About the Retreat
“Our Gong Yoga vacation begins in the Vedic moon sign of Pisces, a time for dreams, oceanside adventures, and gatherings of friends. The Moon will be favorably increasing in light throughout our time together, nearly reaching its full moon exaltation while we are at the beach. The perfect energy to prepare us for the Winter Solstice that arrives a few days later.” – Mehtab
You are invited to join Mehtab and Laura (Guru Karam) Benton for a rejuvenating oceanfront retreat, tapping into the healing energies of the Pacific Ocean and Playa Chacala, a pristine and picturesque bay in the Riviera Nayarit, complete with golden sand, coconut trees and the tropical jungle.
We’ll practice yoga, meditation and deep relaxation; play and laugh together; inviting you to return home with insight and clarity, rested and revitalized. Receive the gifts of the sea and sun, good company and delicious food. Above all, be nourished by healing practices, fresh ocean air, and by the sound of the surf, which will lull you to sleep each night.
Schedule
Your retreat vacation includes your lodging, meals, unlimited sun and ocean, plus:
Twice daily yoga and meditation classes
Gong classes and workshops
Moon Sign Reading workshop
Gong Relaxations with Yoga Nidra
