SUMMARY:Mirjam Bersier and Cédric Maillard:Yoga Reconnecting with the Essentials
DESCRIPTION:Back to Basics – Reconnecting with the Essential \nHow much time each day do I dedicate to connecting with who I am\, the Source\, the Divine\, the Great Spirit\, the one who has dwelt within me since my birth? \nHow much time each day do I take to give thanks for the simple things in my life\, like the air I breathe\, having enough to eat\, a roof over my head\, for this body I inhabit and which allows me to live so many experiences? \nConnecting with the essentials allows you to follow your path\, to hear that voice that will guide you for the rest of your life. \nThis is why you are truly called to live on Earth. \nDuring this journey\, we invite you to slow down\, in order to connect deeply with who you are\, to visit sacred and highly spiritual places\, to enter into profound dialogue with your inner self. To cherish it\, to give thanks\, and to integrate all that you have gained during this inner journey. \nIn a verdant natural setting\, a sparse forest inhabited by free-roaming peacocks\, birds of paradise\, monkeys\, squirrels\, and extraordinary trees… \nThe comfort and beauty of the cottages and the practice room will allow you to unwind\, immerse yourself\, and feel enveloped by the gentleness of this magical place. \nThese 10 days include: \nVisits to sacred sites\, temples\, forests\, and the lake \nGentle body practices\, yoga\, and dance \nSwimming in the lake\, relaxing moments \nAyurvedic massage \nSri Lankan vegetarian cooking class \nMeditation \nTime for silence and introspection \nContemplation \nHiking \n

SUMMARY:Shantini/Charlotte Perret:Discover your infinite nature at the source of mental agitation.
DESCRIPTION:Shantini’s practice has evolved from classical Vipassana to Mahamudra\, with Lama Tilmann Lhundrup. She looks forward to sharing her experience with visitors between courses and particularly during the week-long retreat in February.  \nThe focus will be on developing awareness of the body and mind in the present moment. Just as water becomes clear when its surface is not disturbed\, our mind becomes clear and spacious when not obstructed and we discover a state of serenity and natural compassion that is our true nature\, but was lost amidst the turmoil of life. \n  \nAbout Charlotte Perret / Shantini \nCharlotte took her first Vipassana course in 1979 with the renowned S.N. Goenka in India. This 10-day experience of meditation in complete isolation and silence was a major turning point in her life. She felt she had understood everything and that she could never fall back into depression because she had found the meaning of life. \nOf course\, there was still much to discover and in the following years\, she joined many retreats in India\, Thailand\, Burma\, Sri Lanka\, and also in Europe. \nIn 2017\, when the time came to settle in a pleasant place to dedicate her life to  practice\, the Nalanda site appeared. Construction lasted more than eight years\, and the Center is now open to allow other practitioners to develop their practice in a charming environment.
