Yoga & Gong Bath Retreat Experience 1 – 7 May 2025

Cultivate the Meditative Mind Space and Activate your Intuition, guided by Movement, Active Meditation, Sound Healing and Mantra

We are thrilled to invite you to an exclusive retreat on one of the Mediterranean’s best-kept secrets—Corsica, affectionately known as “The Island of Beauty.” For seven enchanting nights, you’ll be welcomed at Villa Flaka, nestled in the picturesque town of Cargèse, where we’ll focus on recharging, rejuvenating, and igniting creativity in a serene and inspiring environment.

Having hosted a retreat on Corsica before, we can confidently say that the island offers a truly transformative experience. Its breathtaking landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and serene ambiance, combined with our personalized program of practices, create the perfect environment for renewal, reflection, and personal growth.

This retreat is designed to open and balance the body, explore the meditative mind, and cultivate mental mastery. Over the course of this unforgettable week, through a unique, customized program of yogic practices, you’ll elevate your vitality, deepen your relaxation, and release the physical and emotional blockages that weigh you down you’ll rejuvenate both body and mind, recharge your energy, and awaken your creativity in a setting that seamlessly blends natural beauty with peaceful seclusion.

Retreat Theme

Mastering the Mind and Raising Your Vibration theme, has been thoughtfully chosen to lead you on a transformative journey of self-discovery. In today’s fast-paced world, we are constantly adapting to rapid changes, expending significant amounts of energy just to keep up. This often leaves us feeling drained, fatigued, and overwhelmed, leading to impatience, frustration, burnout and a diminished sense of contentment.

When we expend so much energy without taking time to replenish it, our minds become overactive and begin to dominate both our inner and outer worlds. While the mind is an incredible tool, helping us navigate challenges and survive demanding situations, overuse can disconnect us from the heart and body. This creates a sense of inner conflict and duality, where we feel divided and struggle to remain present.

Whether you believe the mind is the key or the heart is the path, both perspectives are valid. They are equally important in our journey toward a more centered, peaceful, and aligned way of being. However, when caught in the battlefield of polarity—struggling with the duality between heart and mind—we may experience confusion, anxiety, a lack of energy, disharmony, panic attacks, stress, and a constant longing to belong. In contrast, when the heart and mind are aligned, we gain clarity, contentment, and peace.

Mastering the mind involves learning to balance its three aspects: the negative mind, which protects you; the positive mind, which seeks opportunities; and the neutral mind, the space of meditation that fosters reflection and true inner clarity. Fulfilment, success, and lasting prosperity come to those who master this meditative state.

This retreat emphasizes exploring mental barriers, breaking patterns, and reconnecting with yourself through body awareness practices, sound gong baths, and active meditation. These techniques help you cultivate a sharp, focused mind that empowers you to take control of your life. The goal is to make your mind serve you while deeply reconnecting with your heart’s true desires. This will allow you to pursue your goals with clarity and eliminate unnecessary drama from your environment.

As you explore the concept of vibration and its subtle layers that support your transformation throughout the retreat, you will come to understand its profound impact on your life.

What to Expect

Our customized yoga program will teach you practical techniques to explore and cultivate the meditative mind space, raise your vibration and shift your frequency toward prosperity. This retreat is designed not just for relaxation, but to help you engage in meaningful self-discovery, improve your knowledge, collectively renew, and integrate the principles of yoga, meditation and sound healing, into your everyday actions, leading to a more mindful, prosperous, and harmonious life. 

Over the course of this 7-day retreat, we encourage you to move your body and open your heart to your true potential. Discover what it means to truly feel good in your body while finding a healthy, balanced connection between your mind and heart.
