A mini retreat of joy, light and relaxation 1.3.2025
Join us for light, joy and relaxation at Saturday's mini-retreat! On the programme:
🌿 Yoga, sound painting retreat and intuitive music painting with a magical soundscape made with gongs and sound bowls.
🥁 Gentle drumming retreat with low-frequency body drums resonating throughout the body. Energizing drumming in a harmonious drum circle.
🎶 An evening of joy and light with live music, mantra songs and dance.
For a small entrance fee, we also welcome people from outside the retreat - so you can invite your friends to celebrate an evening of joy and light with us! In the evening we can enjoy the wonderful vegan delicacies of the Amma Café. If you wish, please bring along your spinning drums, singing bowls or other suitable musical instruments and, above all, yourself.
The retreat will be led by yoga and meditation teacher Vinha Jonna (TaM), who will be responsible for sound painting retreats and intuitive painting accompanied by gong and singing bowls, morning and evening yoga and mantra chants.
Jonna has trained in India, taught yoga and meditation since 2015, and performed sound painting treatments and relaxations. Yoga and art has been a way of life for her since 1987 and she has spent long periods of time in India, including at Mother Amma Ashram. She has also received training in Vedic art from the original founder of Vedict art.
