Awake Shakti Yoga Retreat, 3–16 August, with Lou Åberg

Awake Shakti Retreat – A retreat to go deeper within. 13–16 August 26 with Lou Åberg. Welcome to an in-depth retreat when Gotland is at its most beautiful. We’ll be staying at the historic Barlingbo Vicarage – a fantastic privately-owned house right in the heart of Barlingbo. The house is owned by Ella Klapp, who has created a wonderful retreat environment. Large, beautiful rooms, exclusive and cosy décor, tiled stoves and comfortable sofas. A lovely garden with plenty of space. Here, you’ll truly feel at home! We’re inviting you – perhaps you’ve attended previous retreats or workshops and are longing to go deeper. To discover more of yourself. Inner peace, strength, flow, awakening. To stand in your own energy, in both strength and stillness. You’ll stay in beautiful double and single rooms, and we’ll enjoy country life and all the nature Gotland has to offer. Here, we’ll work in depth with the archetypes of the Indian goddesses of wisdom: Kali, Laksmi, Gauri, Parvati, Radha. And how they can reflect who we are and awaken our life energy. Lou will share their mythological tales, which inspire recognition and reflection in our daily lives. Kundalini Activation: This is a transformative and magical experience. The energy can open the way to joy, an inner dance and movement, strong emotions, purification, self-expression and empathy. Everything is guided with a loving and supportive touch by Lou. Through chanting, yoga in movement and stillness, dance and sound healing, we awaken our primal power and that which longs to blossom. We’ll be able to share our process within the group or stay in our own space if we prefer. Take a stroll through the enchanted forest, cook together and really hang out with our lovely group! At lunchtime, we might head to a limestone quarry or the beach for a swim. Or you’re free to rest, or explore the island. Visby is a 15-minute drive away. Lou Åberg has been working with Shaktipat Deeksha for over 20 years and has led numerous retreats both on Gotland and internationally. For the past two years, she has also been initiated to transmit Kundalini Activation. She currently works therapeutically with yoga, treatments and sound healing, and runs Loma Studio in Visby. Annika Lynton is responsible for the colourful vegetarian meals. Prepared on site with lots of love, we eat either out in the garden or indoors around the beautiful dining table.This retreat is aimed at those of you who may have attended previous retreats, practised yoga, meditated, perhaps taken part in a women’s circle, or received energy initiations such as Kundalini or Reiki. It’s going to be a magical and transformative few days in late summer! Prices include a comprehensive experience with full board in a fantastic rural setting, accommodation, healthy food and all retreat sessions. Bed linen and towels are included.
