Nadi Gathering, Colombia
14th -21st November 2024
Earth Offerings with the Wiwa Community
This November we return to the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, a National Park of stunning beauty and one of the highest coastal ranges in the world. We spend time in the mountains at an eco lodge world famous with bird watchers and rich in biodiversity.
One of the communities indigenous to the region are the Wiwa peoples. As part of the eight-day Gathering, the community has invited us to spend three days making sacred offerings to the Earth alongside their elders.
Together we will visit six sites of stunning beauty and take part in profound meditative offerings for the benefit of healing the earth. The last offering includes rituals of song and dance.
As always we also work with Kundalini Yoga as a foundation for the experience. We also hold sound and temazcal ceremonies and visit natural waterfalls and sites of awe.
Nadi Gatherings are journeys of harmonisation with nature and sacred lands. These are truly authentic events lovingly curated through deep personal experience and with the help of connections nurtured over many years. We are never tourists! We are intentional travellers, who seek to learn and to grow. The aim is to to deepen our connection to the Earth and to one another and to activate more of our human potential for the benefit of humanity.
Spaces for this journey are very limited.
