Journey Space: Music, Movement, & Ceremony
With East Forest and Marisa Radha Weppner
December 15 - 18, 2023
Now more than ever, it is important we build practices that strengthen our internal resolve and self-resourcing amidst a dynamically shifting society. Together, we will listen to our heart’s wisdom in this rich four-day journey through sound, ceremony, and self-discovery.
In this intimate and transformative workshop, you will have the unique opportunity to experience multiple East Forest ceremony performances. These deeply meditative experiences will include both live and unreleased East Forest recorded music. Additionally, Radha will lead us in embodied movement, based upon the principles of self awakening yoga, somatic experiencing, and yin yoga, to create an all-levels and accessible doorway to inner insights. Radha will also use her training with Transpersonal Psychology and with Thomas Hubl while working with participants.
We can discover the inner pathways to fortitude and healing through the primacy of our own heart-opening, felt experience, and:
- Intimate live music performances by East Forest
- Group co-creative musical process with East Forest
- Daily morning yoga and meditation practices
- Awe-inspiring time in nature
- Dance
- Group insight exercises
- Journaling
East Forest and Radha would like to offer a certain amount of scholarship to those in need. Please apply with this form. If further assistance would be helpful, you may also apply for an Esalen scholarship.
Please note: While the retreat space and exercises are conducive to deep inner work, the facilitators and Esalen do not condone the use of or provide substances of any kind.
