THE   BORNEO   BLISS   RETREAT

Saturday 27 – Wednesday 31 Aug 2011

Spend five fabulous days on a retreat in Sarawak Cultural Village with

-        daily Kundalini Yoga and Gong Meditations

(no previous experience required)

-        creative and adventurous encounters with Ethnic arts, music and dance

-        nature activities such as Jungle Trekking and survival cooking

This is to name a few, and of course there will be also time for relax on the beach!

Accommodation is at an Iban Long House with simple facilities. The general setup is twin bedrooms with shared bathroom, but can be upgraded to a single. You might as well chose to move your mattress out into the Iban headquarter hall rich of cultural testimonies, or even sleep outside under the stars…    

We are free to do as we wish here in the beautiful Borneo Rainforest   

 only a stone throw away from the beach, and a 40 minutes drive

 to Kuching City. From nine to five Sarawak Cultural Village is

open to many, from five to nine it`s all ours!

During the whole stay we'll have free access to the village's regular

activities such as the two daily dance performances, and the

opportunity to get to know the friendly local workers, their stories

and their art crafts.

The beautiful and easy techniques of Kundalini Yoga are designed to give you an experience of joy and deeper sense of being. 

It combines pranayama/ breathing, mantras and sound, asanas/postures and movement, meditation and relaxation, making it a dynamic and powerful practice for mind, body and spirit. 

This is enhanced by the soothing and nurturing effect of the Gong, a sacred instrument thousands of years old. Nowadays it is applied in Sound Healing worldwide and is called a Gong Bath, because lying down, the receivers are “bathed” in its sound of the gong. Its tones build upon each other and evolve on their own, producing a sea of sound that is timeless and alive. Within this experience, tensions can be released, blockages cleared, and the mind calmed. During the gong experience, we are in the completely awake while completely asleep meditative state, which is also known as the neutral yogic state of "Turiya."
