There is no greater gift you can give your loved ones

than a peaceful you.
In troubled times, may we all find the courage to pause, to soften,

And to return to what is essential.
We pray for peace, dignity, and wellbeing for all Souls.

May compassion guide us beyond division.

Meditation is not numbing out.

It is not avoidance.

It is not spiritual bypassing.
True meditation asks us to sit with ourselves!

To meet fear, grief, anger, and pain

with awareness and compassion.

We have seen this simple practice help people heal from profound trauma and navigate life with dignity and grace.

Peace begins within...

And it radiates outward.

When rooted in self-knowledge,

Action becomes calm, measured, and appropriate.
For some, right action is advocacy.

For others, a letter, a conversation, or quiet service.

For those on the yogic path,
It may be prayer, silence, and holding peace in the heart.

Stillness is not passivity.

It is the foundation of wise action.

Emotions are powerful... but they are not permanent.

They arise, move, and pass like the wind.
When we mistake emotion for absolute truth!

We become reactive, divided, and hardened.

When emotions are used wisely,

They become a doorway to self-knowledge.
The goal is not to suppress feeling...

The Buddha observed that the root of suffering is ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ป๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ.

Not ignorance of world events..

But ignorance of who we truly are.
Knowledge (๐—ท๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฎ) is not a slogan.

It is a lived discipline.

The moment we try to live by higher values,

We are confronted with our shortcomings.
And itโ€™s tempting to look outward and blame the world.

But every genuine path says the same thing:

In every age, we choose our heroes.

Do we look to perpetually restless voices?

Forever pointing outward at whatโ€™s wrong?
Or do we take inspiration from the great souls of history

who showed that no matter the outer chaos,

inner peace is always possible?
We become what we admire.

This choice matters more than we realise!

Modern life is full of good intentions.

Everyone supports a cause. Everyone has an opinion.

Yet the old wisdom still stands:

Why are we so quick to judge?

So eager to fight?

So certain that ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ outrage is righteous?

The yogic traditions remind us of something confronting...
A person does not need the world to be peaceful in order to live in peace!

Yoga was never meant to stop at the body.

Samarpan is where yoga gets real.

Itโ€™s where comfort is released

And the Soul begins to lead.

๐Ÿฆ‹ Like the butterfly leaving the chrysalis,

Surrender is answering a higher call.

This is yoga as a way of living...

Not just stretching.

An ancient meditation of consciously offering the mind and energy back to the Soul.

On the Soul Retreat, we guide you step by step

to make this practice lived, embodied, and real.

Because peace isnโ€™t explained.

Itโ€™s experienced.

May this understanding of Samarpan

help you step into a beautiful week ahead!

Where in life are you still holding on

Because it feels familiarโ€ฆ

Even though it no longer serves you?

Old habits.
Old fears.
Old versions of yourself.

In yoga, surrender (๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ป) doesnโ€™t mean giving up on life.

It means seeing clearly!

So you can take the ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜…๐˜ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ with courage and peace.

As this New Year begins,

May you have the grace to let go of what has had its time..

And the strength to step forward lightly. ๐ŸŒฑ

Imagine climbing a mountain.

Each step feels solid.
Comfortable.
Safe.

Yet unless you let go of that step,

You will never reach the summit!

Samarpan is that moment.

When the foot leaves the old step,

guided by something higher.

Surrender isnโ€™t stagnation.

Itโ€™s movement toward what matters most. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’œ

On Christmas, we are reminded that surrender is not giving up.

In yoga, surrender is called Samarpan!

The offering of the mind back to the living intelligence of life.

It is not a defeat.

It is not a weakness.

It is the quiet courage to let go of what no longer serves,
So peace, clarity and love can guide the next step.

May this Christmas be a moment of true offering..

A soft return to the Soul

Merry Christmas ๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Stay with us. Celebrate life. Share the magic.

In Service and in Thanks

We love life. This is our offering in thanks to the Mystery beyond words, our humble attempt to give form to the formless. When two souls stand at the cliffs edge and decide to jump, and on doing so turn back to realise the solid ground they were standing on was indeed itself a rock, long since hurling through space, what else is there left to do other than;

Celebrate what we are,

Use our power to create meaning,
