Retreats
In MAY – JUNE, Ayelet will be joined by Vocalist and Yoga instructor – Kim Zombik – to co-facilitate our second three-day Sound and Silence Retreat!
This retreat is an opportunity to transition through spring into summer using our voices and deep listening.
The event will be hybrid, and so come join us over a three-day period where we will explore beingness through the polarity of playful vocal expressions to resting in the nest of silence.
We will start the retreat online, Monday, May 26th , under the New Moon, in a dream-inspired, intention setting gathering.
Then, on the evening of Saturday MAY 31st and again in the late Sunday morning of JUNE 1st, we will gather in person at Yoga Bhavana Studio in the Villeray neighborhood of Montreal, for movement, Deep Listening, vocalizing, guided meditation and Free-writing.
Please note: You are welcome to join us for any or all of these events. This event is open to all genders.
