In her cultural tradition\, the women gather for nine nights of dance called Garba\, where they dance with special sticks and celebrate. This is celebrated in this way by Gujaratri women and the name is derived from the Sanskrit term Garbha (“womb”) and Deep (“a small earthenware lamp”). A lamp and statues of the goddess are placed in the centre as the dancers circle around. It’s always been a special time of celebration\, being with women of all generations and wearing her favourite saris. As a yoga and meditation teacher\, Navaratri took on new meaning as she felt the power in the subtle fields of this time of year\, as a time of renewal\, courage and empowerment. Amisha loves sharing the myth of Durga and this battle as the awakening of the inner activist in all of us\, that is powered by love. This is a time for the slaying of our inner demons\, and for rising up in our personal lives and the way we contribute to the collective. For spring Navarati 2020 which was just after lockdown was announced in the UK\, Amisha went offline and into silence for the whole of the festival and wrote the nine principles for her book\, Intuition. It is always a potent time. Amisha is an intuitive therapist who works with energy and subconscious patterns with her clients which she supports with sessions and beautiful leadership mentoring.  She is also the author of the collaborative book The Future Is Beautiful and host of the globally acclaimed podcast\, All That We Are. \nwww.amisha.co.uk // www.allthatweare.org \n  \nTHE COST: \nWe are offering this on a sliding scale\, please pay what you can. \n£108 / £68 (for the discounted option use the code NAV108 and only use this if you truly need it to take part) \nJOIN US – BOOK HERE

SUMMARY:Wild Grace: A Heroine's Journey - Bali
DESCRIPTION:WILD GRACE \nA Heroine’s Journey  \nDo you as a woman ever feel that you have been put in a box? Maybe you are the nice one\, or the sexy one\, or the intelligent one? As you have grown more into a narrow image of who you are – do you feel that parts of you have been shut down or left unexpressed\, unattainable. Wild Grace is a women’s retreat to reclaim these lost parts of yourself so that you can live in a fuller sense of wholeness\, power and responsibility. \nThe Dalai Lama famously said “The world will be saved by the western woman” – whether or not we can save the whole world – we are certainly in a unique position in history where we have freedom and resources to cultivate our feminine aspects\, use our voice and inspire others. We can’t stay in our boxes\, and we must help each other rise. \nThis means we need to fully honour the masculine in ourselves and in society\, and at the same time tap into our feminine nature – and deep capacity we have to love\, to listen\, to birth\, to create\, to play\, to channel wisdom\, to bring sensitivity\, to live through our intuition\, to transform and be connected to nature. \nTo do this\, we must also understand our shadow and the patterns we may have fallen into\, from victimhood to insecurity to manipulation to passive aggression. \nThis is our heroine’s journey. We will explore and embody many different aspects of the feminine experience allowing them to fully come alive in us. \nFor this retreat\, it will be an intimate small group. Powerful things happen when us women come together\, leaving behind for just a week the stresses and routines of our daily lives. A lot can shift in just seven days and you can bring that back to your relationships\, and your business or workplace. \n \nAbout the week:  \nEach day will be themed on a different aspect of the feminine – and the element and deity associated with it. We will start each day with meditation\, the mythological story of the deity\, mudra\, mantra and a deep yoga asana class which will take us deep into the myth. \nAfter lunch we will have time to “workshop” the qualities of the theme of the day\, including the ‘shadow’ elements. And then after dinner we will take part in a ritual where we are able to fully celebrate and embody this feminine energy. \nMeet within the Goddesses Lakshmi\, Sawaswati\, Durga\, Kali and Green Tara as we will awaken their potent qualities inside of ourselves through this experience. With mythology\, mantra\, mudra\, yoga\, dance\, energy healing\, creative workshops and ritual we will discover our connection to each of these goddesses and the Shakti that they represent in us and in the world. \nWe will move through any blocks holding us back from our power and awaken our divine feminine in the form of beauty\, wisdom\, courage\, fierceness and compassion. This retreat will give you a grounded understanding and forever expand your connection to these Goddesses\, as well as your relationship with your own feminine power and it’s balance with your inner masculine. \nIn the tantra worldview\, the masculine (shiva) is consciousness and the feminine (shakti) is energy. Each of us whether male or female has both so this understanding isn’t about the difference between men and women. Likewise\, this system is different to the system of Yin and Yang which comes from Taoism\, where the Yin (feminine) is the listening\, soft aspect and the Yang (masculine) is the active\, logical aspect. \nWe will start and end the week with this understanding of this divine union of Shiva and Shakti – so the Shiva energy will be present and holding us through our process throughout the week. \n \nWe use the Hindu goddesses as a map\, but you don’t have to believe in Hinduism or in yourself as a goddess to take part. It’s a language that helps us to uncover different aspects. These are deities that are often referred to in modern yoga. To understand more about this you can listen to Amisha interviewing Sally Kempton on The Future Is Beautiful podcast\, here. \n“What really is a ‘deity’? The word deva in Sanskrit (or the feminine form\, devī) comes from a Sanskrit root √div\, meaning both ‘shine’ and ‘play’. So deities are the shining playful ones. They are icons of our own essence-nature in its many aspects. The deities are real as patterned forms of consciousness that exist both within you (as an aspect of your essence-nature) and as patterns of energy-flow in the wider universe (of which you are\, of course\, a microcosm). Therefore deities are not reducible to either ‘gods’ (divine persons) or to ‘archetypes’ (aspects of our psyche)\, though in a sense they partake of the qualities of both.” Hareesh Wallis \n\nThis is about understanding the heroine’s journey and what it means to be a woman at this time – from menstrual cycles to activism to fire to water\, to finding our softness\, to finding our voice. We will explore and embody many different aspects of the feminine experience. These practices will open up connections to our female ancestors and future generations. \nAlthough the feminine is part of all of us\, man or woman\, this is only for those who identify as women to come together in sisterhood and experience the collaborative supportive side of women being together. \nIf you need some woman to woman time and want to explore different aspects of yourself in a fun and loving way – come! \nDon’t be put off by what have become buzz words of the modern priestess and new age world – ritual\, sisterhood\, moon\, etc – but please know that this will be a grounded\, rich and deep week – full of laughter and probably some tears\, rest and realisations. It’s a week of personal development\, transformation and action. \n \n\n  \nWhere Wild Grace came from: \n“Four years ago\, I was standing out in the cold night in the British countryside under the November full moon. I was howling as I was embarking on a great transition. Putting my belongings in storage\, leaving a very comfortable nest and taking a chance on a less stable but fuller lifestyle that I felt in my heart was where I needed to go – India. As I howled at the moon\, the words Wild Grace came to me and I immediately pictured this gathering. I saw the women gathered and the different elements from the rituals to the mantras to the sisterhood. I saw the women discovering an aspect of freedom in themselves and qualities and gifts that they hadn’t yet unwrapped in themselves. It was so beautiful and it felt so strong. And yet every time I started to plan it\, something didn’t feel right. I had to go on a deeper adventure to be able to hold this space. As my intention was that we would fully embody these five aspects of our feminine energy throughout the week. Two years ago I taught a three hour version in Bali at Yoga Barn which was my favourite workshop I have ever done. Then I taught a short version in Goa at a beautiful women’s healing festival. The long version is an all woman week designed to take us out of any boxes we have been put in\, put each other in or put ourselves in and discover different and perhaps unknown aspects of our feminine energy through mythology\, yoga\, mantra\, dance\, ritual and creativity. I can’t wait to share this very special adventure with you.” Amisha Ghadiali \n“Thank you for holding this beautiful space for us. Your presence is a true inspiration! One of the most intense workshops I have attended. I feel even stronger in my power as a woman. And I was able to let go of some old programming that holds me back from connecting with my divine feminine. I feel this is only the start of a deeper journey.”  Alisa\, participant of Wild Grace three hour workshop at The Yoga Barn\, Bali.  \n  \n \n  \nThe Details: \n25th November to 2nd December as we wane towards the new moon. \n No experience necessary\, all are welcome.  \n \n  \nOur Home: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis retreat will take place in a special place that is very dear to Amisha’s heart. We will stay in these special gardens tucked away in the rice paddies\, where our shala is down by the river and each day we will be amongst the butterflies and the flowers. The energy of this place will support us in connecting us to our creativity and our life force. \nThis space is a sanctuary of beauty\, located on a completely magic piece of land. Surrounded by lush jungle\, open rice-fields and winding walks with views of the mountains you are welcomed into a genuine sense of Bali. The houses stand out as a design fusion of Scandinavian simplicity and Balinese antique intricacy. The experience is an immersion into the wild mystery of the Island of the Gods. \nYou will have your own bedroom in one of the six beautifully designed\, yet perfectly wild houses. We will be looked after by the kindest team\, and we will eat delicious\, local and nutritious food. \nAmisha has been spending time in Bali over the past four years\, and in these gardens in particular. She is delighted to be sharing this special home and the Balinese culture with you. The energy of the island\, and the Hindu culture make this a wonderful place to awaken the goddesses. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n  \n   \n      \n \nWhat’s Included:  \nThis retreat is £1850 including luxury jungle villa accommodation\, all tuition\, workshop materials\, plant based delicious meals & snacks\, visit from a high priestess\, and a trip to the water temple and a social project (and some surprises!). The Deposit is £400 and payment plans are available to pay in instalments at no extra cost. For those that book before August 24th\, there is an early bird offer which brings the total to £1650. \nThis price doesn’t include flights to Bali and airport transfers. \nAll the bedrooms are beautiful and each unique. If you are coming with a friend you may be able to share a two or three bedroom house with them. There are also one bedroom spaces\, as well as individual rooms in the bigger villas. After you have booked\, we will let you choose from the available rooms! We have six stunning houses to chose from. \nThis is a course rather than a retreat/yoga holiday. We will have a long deep practice each morning (including meditation\, asana\, myth\, mudra and mantra)\, an afternoon workshop or trip and an evening Ritual. \nThe Replenish Effect: \nIt is important that our retreats bring benefit and expansion to all who are involved. We don’t just want you to fly in\, taxi straight to the retreat centre and then leave the country. We make our retreats meaningful in the local community by building partnerships\, supporting independently run businesses and doing all the little things that make a big difference\, like helping you offset the carbon for your travel.  \n \n  \nAbout Amisha: \n“I came to Amisha’s retreat to learn more about the practice of YOGA. She taught me how to open up more and be in the moment. I loved how she created a space for the whole group to feel at home and safe. She really made me fall in love with Yoga. I will take her knowledge with me for the rest of my life. She is warm\, wise and lovely.” Aemilia\, Film Producer \n“Amisha is a gifted yoga teacher that shows her knowledge of both the spiritual and the physical side of yoga\, and teaches both brilliantly. This retreat was life changing and I still hear her voice singing mantras in my head!”  Paul\, Entrepreneur \n“Amisha is a breath of fresh air!! She is kind\, gentle\, loving and full of light energy. Taking her mantra workshop at Bali Spirit Fest genuinely changed my practice and I thank her everyday for how she has helped me grow!” Ally\, Entrepreneur \n \nAmisha Ghadiali\, is an award-winning social entrepreneur whose career has included demanding roles in the political\, sustainability and tech start-up worlds. She combines this experience of managing a high pressure lifestyle with her deep knowledge of sustainable living\, mindfulness and yoga. \nWith a love of yoga and meditation that has spanned over a decade\, her own “burn out” whilst “trying to save the world” led her into training as a yoga and meditation teacher\, which in turn opened a giant rabbit hole deeper into the mystical realms. In addition to over 1000 hours of teacher training in Yoga & Meditation\, she has trained as a priestess\, reiki master and intuitive energy healer. She brings all this depth and her fascination with the relationship of our inner and outer worlds\, to her work. \nAmisha has used these practices in her own life to work with trauma including recovering from being run over by a pick-up truck. She has lived that typical stressful city life\, and found that bringing a soulful healthy approach to her every day made things much more rewarding and balanced. She set up the leadership programme – Presence Mentoring to assist you in creating space to show up for yourself each day and to facilitate the formation of lifelong habits that will support and nurture your inner and outer connections. \nHer teachers include Sianna Sherman and Sally Kempton\, as well as annual trips to her motherland of India\, learning from Swamis and Sadhus. Amisha is of Indian origin\, with a Hindu mother and a Jain father. She has grown up influenced by both these traditions and their practices and rituals. \n\nAmisha is a writer and speaker on all aspects of conscious and green living. Her words have appeared in publications including The Huffington Post\, Rebelle Society & Ecouterre. She edited the collaborative book\, The Future Is Beautiful – A Collection from Think Act Vote\,  coining the term Creative Activism and bringing together ideas and artwork from over two hundred contributors to inspire a brighter future. Amisha has spoken or facilitated workshops at events and festivals around the world such as TEDx Oxbridge\, Sunday Papers Live & Burning Man. \n\nAmisha hosts The Future Is Beautiful Podcast which explores the weave between politics\, spirituality\, sustainability and creativity\, so we can come out of our silos – and bring more of who we are to our lives. These inspiring conversations also look into the darkness and difficulties of modern life and challenging the status quo\, providing comfort and a grounded optimism. Previous guests have included Charles Eisenstein\, Samantha Roddick\, Satish Kumar\, Sally Kempton and Bruce Parry. \n  \nMore About Wild Grace: \nWatch Amisha sharing about Wild Grace (please note this will take place in Bali not in Devon!) \nhttps://amisha.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/amisha-wild-grace.mp4\n  \nHow to Book: \nIn order to secure your place\, email interest to takeamoment(at)amisha.co.uk either pay your deposit or make the full payment.

SUMMARY:Into the Heart of Yoga - Seva Retreat with Ramana's Garden in Rishikesh India
DESCRIPTION:March 13-20th 2019  \nYoga. Service. Pilgrimage   \nHave you ever wanted to travel to India and actually make a difference? Here is an incredible opportunity to visit the birthplace of yoga where the holy river Ganga runs through\, nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas in Northern India and actually give back in a real and needed way. \nWe will be working with Ramana’s Garden which is an incredible children’s home\, refuge\, school and organic cafe which provides support\, care and education to over 200 of India’s most vulnerable children giving them unbelievable opportunities to break the cycle of poverty\, abuse and homelessness and bring their gifts into the world. \nIf you feel a longing in your heart to serve\, and want to go on an adventure – this is for you. Rise up as a spiritual activist and join us in India. \n \n  \nIt will be a small and intimate group\, and we will spend seven days in the children’s home in Rishikesh – supporting the kids\, playing\, helping out with the opportunity to also explore the city. This whole journey will be supported by other aspects of yoga as well karma yoga including asana\, meditation\, mantra\, spiritual teachings and sharing circles so that it is a fully held process and journey of discovery. This is an incredible opportunity to understand the true depths of yoga as well as visit India in a meaningful\, eye and heart opening way. This will be a life changing experience for everybody who takes part. \n  \n \n  \nWhat is Karma Yoga? \nKarma yoga is the yoga of action – it is an important aspect of the yogic path which means giving in service to the world as a form of devotion to something bigger than yourself. It means doing something beautiful just because – not for any reward or personal gain. Seva in sanskrit means selfless service. Although the reality of seva in my experience (Amisha) is that it never is truly self-less although you may have that intention as giving to others feels good and is a very healing and transformative action. There is an innate heart opening and feeling of satisfaction which often occurs with service. Gandhi famously said “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” This is yoga – volunteering your time\, and giving your energy and love to these amazing kids. \n \nWhy are we doing this?  \n“I have been interested for a long time in how we travel and make a difference. Travel is such a perspective changing adventure that can literally bring down walls inside of us and in the world as it challenges us to meet ourselves and redefine our understanding of race and borders. As yoga continues to grow and spread in the world\, more and more people want to visit India as part of their spiritual journey\, it brings about questions and cultural appropriation and the effects of spiritual tourism. I have for some time wanted to make my retreats more sustainable and impactful in the local communities – so that as well as our inner transformation work\, we can make a difference. We have to understand that we are of a “travelling class” that not everyone in the world is and so it’s important that we use this in a way that really holds respect. \nI feel that with our overloaded western lifestyles\, retreats are an important way of going deeper and re-setting our patterns\, and from spending much time in India I feel that there are experiences that you can only have there. Being in India and surrounded by the culture that yoga came from\, brings the inner understanding to light in a more intense and beautiful way. And yet many travel to this and neighbouring countries and live a lifestyle that is actually quite selfish\, failing to engage with the reality around them. In India it is estimated that over one billion people live below the poverty line – there are many children that do not have access to our basic human needs such as somewhere safe to live\, clean water to drink and access to education. If you love yoga\, and you want to understand more about India\, this is an incredible way to give back to those that really need it\, in a safe and supported way. I love this notion showing up with our head\, heart and hands. It’s with our hands that we give.” Amisha Ghadiali \n \n  \nAbout Ramana’s Garden: \nRamana’s Garden is a children’s refuge\, home\, school and organic café situated in the beautiful North Indian city of Rishikesh. Located between mountains at the bank of the holy River Ganga (Ganges)\, Ramana’s was founded by Prabhavati Dwabha more than 20 years ago as a refuge for children at risk of poverty and abuse in India and Nepal. Approximately 70 kids live full time at Ramana’s Garden\, and more than 200 kids attend school at Ramana’s each day during the school year. \nThe children who live in Ramana’s Garden have been determined to be ‘at risk’. Each child that comes through this gate arrives because they would be at risk of either being murdered\, forced into prostitution\, child labour\, begging\, starvation or total neglect otherwise. Ramana’s Garden takes these children in and gives them a loving home\, family and education so they have the opportunity to become independent and functioning adults\, securing themselves a valuable position in society. \nStill today\, millions of Indian children are in dangerous circumstances due to having been born into the cycle of poverty\, ignorance\, and homelessness. Ramana’s Garden is working to rescue as many of them as possible and the need is prominent. With your help\, we believe that we can make a difference one child at a time. \nTheir goals are to: \n\nEmpower and encourage every child growing up at Ramana’s to be able to take risks and grow into an integrated unique human being.\nInstill in every child at Ramana’s Garden a sense of well-being and compassion for their fellow travellers on this journey through life.\nEnsure every child studying or living in Ramana’s Garden will enter the job market with sufficient skills to secure a valuable position for themselves.\n\n \nThe Details: \nWe arrive and meet in Rishikesh on March 13th. (We have had to cancel the part up on the farm in the mountains due to extreme snow). \nIf any of you wish to volunteer for longer\, we can discuss this with Dwabha and make it happen\, just let us know! \nEach day we will practice yoga and mediation together\, and spend time volunteering. You can take your practice off the mat\, and into the world. \nThis will include: \n\ndaily yoga asana sessions (including mythology\, mantra and mudra)\ndaily mediation\nsharing circles\nsatsung\nkarma yoga\ndelicious nutritious organic local farmed meals\nadventure time to explore\na community of like-minded volunteers from across the world\n\n \nRishikesh:  \nFrom March 13th-20th we will be staying in Rishikesh\, where our focus will be sharing our love and attention with these beautiful children at Ramana’s Gardens. We will ask you to bring an activity that is close to your heart and is creative and engaging. For example you might teach them a dance or a song\, share yoga with them\, bring your favourite games from your country\, or make some beautiful art. \nWhilst we are in Rishikesh\, we will also: \n\nvisit The “Beatles” Ashram (ashram of Yogi Maharishi Mahesh)\nbathe in the Holy River Ganga\nattending Satsung and Kirtan with world renowned teachers\ntake part in the Aarti Puja on the River Ganga\nexplore temples\, ashrams\, shops and cafes\nperhaps take a day or even an overnight trip to a beautiful organic nature village nearby\n\n \n \n \n  \nThe Food: \nAll of the food is organic or sustainably sourced\, much of it grown in the gardens. Local cheeses\, organic eggs\, homemade chutneys and jams\, our own olive oil and fresh fruit and vegetables are always readily available. \n  \n \n  \nThe Price: \nTo join this retreat the cost is £555 (this is for all whether you wish to stay with us or have you own accommodation in Rishikesh already). \nYou will need to organise your own travel to India\, visa\, and internal travel to Rishikesh. Although we will help arrange taxis and airport meet ups to make this as easy as possible. \nYou will also pay for your own accommodation in our local guesthouse which is roughly £20 a night for single room and £10 to share\, and your lunch and dinner which are approx £5 a meal. \nIf you are able to make a donation to Ramana’s\, you can do this by sponsoring a child or making a larger donation to Ramana’s Garden. You will also be asked to bring various simple things that Ramana’s need such as clothing and medical supplies. So expect to be asked to buy these things and save half of your suitcase space for this! \n \n  \nAccommodation: \nIf you wish to stay with us\, we will be in a local guesthouse called Hotel Grace Ganga\, close to the Children’s Home with views of the mountains and River Ganga. \n \n \nThe Details:  \nWe will be able to check into our rooms in the afternoon of the 13th and will then meet as a group around 4.30pm. We will finish around lunchtime on the 20th\, but you may wish to stay that night for Holi celebrations. \n  \nThe Replenish Effect: \nIt is important that our retreats bring benefit and expansion to all who are involved. We don’t just want you to fly in\, taxi straight to the retreat centre and then leave the country. We make our retreats meaningful in the local community by building partnerships\, supporting independently run businesses and doing all the little things that make a big difference\, like helping you offset the carbon for your travel. This retreat is run fully as a seva retreat with the utmost care taken in terms of our impact in the local community and cultural appropriation. \n  \nThe International Yoga Festival (optional): \n \n  \nMarch 1-7th. The International Yoga Festival is a beautiful seven day immersion held on the banks of the River Ganga at Parmath Niketan Ashram. You have the opportunity to learn from both Indian swamis\, teachers and masters as well as revered international teachers in amongst a community of around 2000 yogis. You stay in the ashram\, getting a taste of the beauty of ashram life as well as being uplifted\, inspired and awakened by the practices\, ceremonies and musical performances. \nMore information here – www.internationalyogafestival.org \nHoli – Festival of Colour (optional): \nHoli this year will also be right at the end of our retreat! This will take place on the 21st March but the fun will start on the evening of the 20th. \nHoli is a spring festival that essentially celebrates the triumph of good over evil. Coinciding with the end of winter and the beginning of a new season\, it is treated as a time to give thanks for a good harvest. It is also considered a time to come together and end any conflicts you might have in your relationships with others. \nEveryone will be out on the streets\, throwing colours and playing. It’s something beautiful to see and be part of – especially with the kids! \n \nPrabhavati Dwabha on The Future Is Beautiful Podcast: \n \nEarlier this year\, Amisha interviewed Dwabha (the founder of Ramana’s Garden) about her story and the importance of giving. \n“Life is better if you are honestly doing your best to make a difference for another being. If you know that in living your life – however you are – you are also making a significant  difference for others who would otherwise have no chance… You live different\, you feel different\, you are different.”~ Prabhavati Dwabha \nE34 – Prabhavati Dwabha on Child Poverty\, Education and Philanthropy \nBreaking the cycle of poverty\, ignorance\, and homelessness \nHow can one person make a difference to overwhelming poverty and suffering? \n \nYou can find out more about this interview and the podcast\, here. \n  \nAbout Amisha: \n“I came to Amisha’s retreat to learn more about the practice of YOGA. She taught me how to open up more and be in the moment. I loved how she created a space for the whole group to feel at home and safe. She really made me fall in love with Yoga. I will take her knowledge with me for the rest of my life. She is warm\, wise and lovely.” Aemilia\, Film Producer \n“Amisha is a gifted yoga teacher that shows her knowledge of both the spiritual and the physical side of yoga\, and teaches both brilliantly. This retreat was life changing and I still hear her voice singing mantras in my head!”  Paul\, Entrepreneur \n“Amisha is a breath of fresh air!! She is kind\, gentle\, loving and full of light energy. Taking her mantra workshop at Bali Spirit Fest genuinely changed my practice and I thank her everyday for how she has helped me grow!” Ally\, Entrepreneur \n \nAmisha Ghadiali\, is an award-winning social entrepreneur whose career has included demanding roles in the political\, sustainability and tech start-up worlds. She combines this experience of managing a high pressure lifestyle with her deep knowledge of sustainable living\, mindfulness and yoga. \nWith a love of yoga and meditation that has spanned over a decade\, her own “burn out” whilst “trying to save the world” led her into training as a yoga and meditation teacher\, which in turn opened a giant rabbit hole deeper into the mystical realms. In addition to over 1000 hours of teacher training in Yoga & Meditation\, she has trained as a priestess\, reiki master and intuitive energy healer. She brings all this depth and her fascination with the relationship of our inner and outer worlds\, to her work. \nAmisha has used these practices in her own life to work with trauma including recovering from being run over by a pick-up truck. She has lived that typical stressful city life\, and found that bringing a soulful healthy approach to her every day made things much more rewarding and balanced. She set up the leadership programme – Presence Mentoring to assist you in creating space to show up for yourself each day and to facilitate the formation of lifelong habits that will support and nurture your inner and outer connections. \nHer teachers include Sianna Sherman and Sally Kempton\, as well as annual trips to her motherland of India\, learning from Swamis and Sadhus. Amisha is of Indian origin\, with a Hindu mother and a Jain father.

They first bonded over nearly having the same name\, and then as their journeys unfolded found a mutual love and motivation towards the discovery of yoga and transformation as both dedicated teachers and students. They have spent time in India together visiting temples and deepening their practice and continue to inspire and compliment one another with their passion and curiosity to challenge themselves\, each other and their students towards growth. They are true kalyanamitras\, which is the sanskrit word for friends on the spiritual path – and their teaching styles complement each others. \n“I have been on retreats with Mischa and Amisha both individually and together. They are each unique yet have similar teaching backgrounds which I find compliment one another. I love the fact that Mischa’s practise is physical\, strong and deep spiritually. I always come away having learnt something new. Amisha is wonderful and again with her wisdom and teaching structure I have found myself over the past year or two developing my own spirituality and yoga practice.” Bobana\, Creative \n“Mischa and Amisha are an amazing\, beautiful pair. They both live their teachings in a new and inspiring way and have a deep knowledge and understanding of yoga. I spent a weekend with them last year and found it nourishing\, fascinating and joyful\, we were all taken on a mystical journey through some of the practices of yoga\, old and new. I would wholeheartedly recommend spending time with them on a retreat\, it will be a magical and uplifting experience!” Charlotte\, Consultant \n  \n \nAbout Amisha: \n“I came to Amisha’s retreat to learn more about the practice of YOGA. She taught me how to open up more and be in the moment. I loved how she created a space for the whole group to feel at home and safe. She really made me fall in love with Yoga. I will take her knowledge with me for the rest of my life. She is warm\, wise and lovely.” Aemilia\, Film Producer \n“Amisha is a gifted yoga teacher that shows her knowledge of both the spiritual and the physical side of yoga\, and teaches both brilliantly. This retreat was life changing and I still hear her voice singing mantras in my head!”  Paul\, Entrepreneur \n“Amisha is a breath of fresh air!! She is kind\, gentle\, loving and full of light energy. Taking her mantra workshop at Bali Spirit Fest genuinely changed my practice and I thank her everyday for how she has helped me grow!” Ally\, Entrepreneur \n \nWith a love of yoga and meditation that has spanned over a decade\, Amisha Ghadiali’s own “burn out” led her to train as a teacher\, which in turn opened a giant rabbit hole into the mystical realms. Her classes are strong yet relaxing\, focused on clear alignment and moving from the heart. She has a calming presence and uses playful theming\, mantra and experience of exploring world wisdom traditions\, to leave her students with inspiration\, grounding and joy they can bring into their daily lives.  \nAmisha is a 500 hour certified Yoga teacher after completing her advanced teacher training with Sianna Sherman\, and is a modern day priestess\, reiki master and intuitive energy healer. Her background is in politics and sustainable fashion\, and since 2006 she has been designing jewellery for her own label with the tagline “elegance rebellion.” She creates meaningful pieces such as malas for chanting\, made with precious gemstones. She brings all this awareness and her fascination with the relationship of our inner and outer worlds\, to her work.  \nAmisha has used these practices in her own life to work with trauma including recovering from being run over by a pick-up truck. She has lived that typical stressful city life\, and found that bringing a soulful healthy approach to her every day made things much more rewarding and balanced. She recently founded Replenish\, where she leads retreats and works one-on-one through her mentoring programme to assist you in creating space to show up for yourself each day and to facilitate the formation of lifelong habits that will support and nurture your inner and outer connections. \nAmisha is also a writer and speaker on all aspects of conscious and green living. A big part of her ‘yoga’ is exploring how we relate to the world around us and embody our values.  She hosts the podcast and edited the collaborative book\, The Future Is Beautiful\, coining the term Creative Activism and bringing together ideas and artwork from over two hundred contributors to inspire a brighter future. Her words have appeared in publications including The Huffington Post\, Rebelle Society & Ecouterre and she has spoken at events and festivals around the world such as TEDx Oxbridge\, Sunday Papers Live & Burning Man.  \n  \nAbout Mischa:  \n“The retreat was a sweet breath of fresh air. Mischa is a truly inspiring teacher who in four short days has helped me deepen my relationship to yoga and further the spiritual connection to my physical practice.” Loren\, Music Producer \n“I can’t express the transformation I experienced in both body and mind the retreat with Mischa.  She truly is an inspirational teacher. What a blessing to have a whole week with her! As a teacher myself\, I recognise the hard work and dedication that goes into these retreats and I can only say that Mischa has a true gift for sharing her strong\, soulful yoga in a way that truly connects you back to your root and to the universe as a whole.  I learnt so much about myself and about the beautiful gift that is Yoga. Her energy is so nurturing and her passion and dedication to the practice shines through. I cannot wait for the next one! Thank you Mischa\, for continuing to inspire me on my journey.” Sally-Anne\, Yoga Teacher \n \n  \nMischa’s yoga journey began over a decade ago and slowly began to weave its way through her life; she is continually humbled and inspired by the potential of yoga to transform\, expand and heal and is devoted to sharing the practice with others.  She is a 500 hour trained teacher having finished her 300 hour training with her teacher Sianna Sherman. She is also in apprenticeship with Sianna and part of teh Rasa Yoga Teaching team and she regularly assists on workshops and advance trainings around the globe. Mischa has spent over a year in India studying\, practicing and visiting sacred sites and it holds a special place in her heart. \nHer teaching is heartfelt and creative with a deep focus on breath and alignment and a combination of strong steady flow and longer holds to both uplift and tap into the stillness. She has a diverse and deep practice and is most inspired to share the creativity of vinyasa and hatha flow which allow the freedom to explore the infinite possibilities of the practice. She draws her understanding from a number of styles and traditions\, particularly inspired by the philosophy and practices of the Tantric lineage. Her classes are woven with philosophy\, myth and stories and include music\, chanting and ritual.  She is also influenced by her studies and training in the Priestess tradition and extensive travels to both Asia\, Indonesia and South America. \nMischa works with Ayurvedic Yoga Massage\, a beautiful combination of deep tissue massage with assisted yoga stretches and alignment\, and Reiki to support the physical and energetic healing process. She is also fully trained in Naturopathy and Nutritional Therapy which she integrates into her holistic approach in practicing and sharing the teachings and supporting individuals on their journey towards greater wellbeing. \nMischa is currently based in London teaching across some of the leading studios but continues to travel for study\, practice and teaching. Her teaching is passionate and knowledgeable\, her intention is to both challenge and restore\, holding a space for individuals to awaken and reveal their highest Self. Expect to  be taken on a journey of self inquiry and unfolding. \nFacebook Live:  \nYou can also watch our facebook live talking about the retreat and pilgrimage – https://www.facebook.com/amisha.ghadiali/videos/1938280072893242/ \n \n  \nHow to Book: \nIf you have any questions or would like to reserve a place\, please contact Amisha on takeamoment@amisha.co.uk or Mischa on info@mischavarmuza.com \n

SUMMARY:Durga Kali Mythic Yoga Flow: Empower & Breathe (Navaratri Celebration)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an empowering practice themed around our ability to impact the world around us. We will dive into the myth of the Goddesses Durga & Kali as we chant mantra\, practice asana and come to understand what we can do as yogis to embody our values and share our power in the world.

SUMMARY:Alchemy & Activism: turn your wounds into something beautiful
DESCRIPTION:Book Tickets Here \nAlchemy & Activism: turn your wounds into something beautiful \nHow lucky are we to be alive in the 21st Century?   \nWe have access to all the greatest\, most magical\, potent spiritual practices and teachings from across time and space. And in the last century\, we have had incredible knowledge literally pouring into every orifice from schools of Western psychology and the human sciences. \n  \nOur biggest challenge now is this:  \nHow can we take this kaleidoscope of wisdom and knowledge\, and use it in a practical\, playful and grounded way to build a more beautiful future? \nHow can we alchemise our individual and collective wounds into the gold of compassionate action?  \n  \nWe feel this is a pretty important question in a world obsessed with SELF-help. We want to build a sturdy\, inspiring bridge between ‘self’ and ‘other’.  \nWe want to move from blame culture to empowered\, creative\, and hopeful action. We want to transform our grief and shame at the state of the world into a super-inspiring\, practical vision.  \nWe want to move beyond spiritual bypassing\, narcissism\, tourism and materialism – and instead really embody our values\, starting with the community we find ourself in. \nThis is not easy work\, it’s the road less travelled. If you are looking for escapism\, this isn’t for you. We ain’t getting high. But we are showing up with rolled up sleeves and a sense of humour as we unlearn what we think we know and explore these questions together.  \n‘We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.’ (Hopi Elders) \nBook Tickets Here \n  \nDay Retreat – 10am til 5pm \nOur backdrop is the stunningly beautiful\, deeply sacred chapel in Fitzrovia\, London – the perfect place to spend a Sunday.  \nThe day is split into two halves: inner and outer. We will start and finish the day with a circle where we’ll each have the opportunity to share what is present for us\, and explore the question together with open hearts and minds.  \nWe begin going inside. Amisha will lead an alchemical yoga session guiding us to bring love to our personal and collective wounds as they present themselves in our bodies. Louis will then guide an extended transpersonal meditation which will allow us to connect with the deep healing intelligence of Life\, and kindle our fiery activist hearts. We’ll then hold a grief ritual that will allow us to release our wounds – both personal and collective.   \nIn the afternoon\, we will build a golden bridge from the inner to the outer\, tapping into the creativity and compassion of our activist hearts. We’ll be taking our personal insights and revelations from the morning and using them to create practical\, beautiful tools that we can use to make a radical difference in the world around us.  \n  \nThis day is for you if you at times get fed up by the state of the world\, if you feel that the time is ripe to translate our spiritual work into practical\, compassionate action\, and if you want to find a more empowered way to contribute\, connecting with an amazing bunch of people who can support and hold you in this process.  \n  \n“It is always from our deepest wound\, from the thing that breaks our heart the most\, that our yearning\, our calling\, our purpose in life emerges.” ~Vera de Chalambert \n  \nRough programme: (this might evolve & change on the day) \n10-11am: Opening Circle \n11-12pm: Yoga with Amisha  \n12-12.45pm: Meditation with Louis  \n12.45-1.15pm: Grief Ritual \n1.15-2.15pm: Lunch  \n2.15-4.30pm: Sacred Activism Workshop \n4.30-5pm: Closing Circle  \n  \nEvening Event – 6.15pm til 8.45pm  \nBring your songs and words of hope\, freedom and grief. For the evening we are opening up the chapel to a bigger group to share music\, poetry\, and our activist creations from the day. This will be a co-created participatory event open mic style\, so bring anything you would like to share as we jam together on the theme of Alchemy & Activism.  \n  \nTickets: \nFull Day: Beautiful Day Retreat (£100 per person including a healthy delicious lunch and evening event) \n £80 for members of Radical Alchemists or Patrons of The Future Is Beautiful (email for discount code)  \nWe have a few places available that are subsidised\, if you would like one of these\, write to us at takeamoment(@)amisha.co.uk \n(Come in comfortable clothing for the morning that you can move in. Yoga mats will be provided. But bring a blanket and a water bottle).  \nEvening Event: £12  \nWe are very excited about this event. There has already been a lot of interest so we recommend booking very soon to avoid disappointment. \nBook Tickets Here \n  \nAbout us: \nAlchemy & Activism is hosted by Amisha Ghadiali (The Future is Beautiful) and Louis Weinstock (Radical Alchemy). \n \nAmisha is the founder of The Future Is Beautiful\, a community that weaves together politics\, spirituality\, creativity and sustainability through the collaborative book and the podcast she hosts – to inspire us each to rise up\, move beyond silos and create a beautiful future. Fascinated by the connection between our inner and outer worlds\, she facilitates retreats\, workshops and one to one sessions. Her “Presence Mentoring” leadership programme uses intuitive therapy to clear subconscious patterning and awaken new qualities within\, as well as focusing on integration and maintaining a daily practice. Her retreats and workshops are deep and playful dives into the practices\, intimacy and the self – with mantra\, yoga asana\, meditation\, mudra\, energy healing\, contemplation\, pranayama\, ritual\, dance and activism. Amisha’s words have appeared in publications including The Huffington Post\, Rebelle Society & Ecouterre and she has spoken at events and festivals around the world such as TEDx Oxbridge\, Sunday Papers Live & UnBox.  \nIn addition she has been part of pioneering projects and social enterprises including: Ethical Fashion Forum\, Impact Hub\, Provenance\, Fashion Revolution and Compass. Amisha brings activism into everything she does\, and through her project Think Act Vote (which became The Future Is Beautiful) coined the term Creative Activism. Her background is in politics where she worked in parliament and the US congress – working on many campaigns including Make Poverty History\, The Yes Campaign (for AV)\, Fashion Revolution. She has volunteered on projects all over the world including facilitating UNA-Exchange projects working with kids in valleys of Wales\, to working with teenage orphans in Bulgaria to hosting retreats in India that combine service with spiritual practices. In fact she is taking a group to an orphanage and farm in India next year if you wish to join.  \nwww.amisha.co.uk \n \nLouis Weinstock is a Transpersonal Psychotherapist\, Meditation Teacher\, and Social Entrepreneur. He runs an inclusive spiritual community called Radical Alchemy\, and is cofounder of Bounce Works\, a social enterprise that uses playful design and digital technology to resolve the growing crisis in young people’s mental health. \n\nLouis first discovered meditation aged 10\, when he sat cross-legged on his spiderman duvet and realised that by focusing on his breath he could exert mind over matter. In his early 20s\, after reaching a crisis point\, he dedicated his life to service. His mission has been to empower people trapped on the edges of society\, from homeless young people\, to drug addicts in the criminal justice system. For four years\, he ran a therapeutic education provision for some of London’s most troubled teens. He went on to develop a mindfulness programme for kids with complex trauma\, was invited to consult Headspace on their mindfulness for kids offering\, and has in the last few years specialised in working with grief and people at the end of life.\n\nLouis has travelled extensively\, studying wisdom traditions from around the world\, including both personal and academic studies of Postcolonial Political Psychology\, Surrealist philosophy\, indigenous wisdom traditions\, and studying with meditation masters\, yogis and indigenous wisdom-keepers in Asia\, South America and Europe. However\, he has learned the most from the clients he has worked with\, those human beings that found the courage to transform their suffering into compassionate action-in-the-world\, often in spite of extreme\, traumatising\, soul-restricting environments. \n\nLouis’ work and writings have featured in the BBC\, The Guardian\, You Magazine\, ITV News\, Evening Standard. He co-wrote a bestselling book about rituals with his wife called The Inner Beauty Bible\, published by Harper Collins\, and now translated into 3 languages. \nwww.louisweinstock.com \n  \nFitzrovia Chapel: \n \n \nBook Tickets Here

The new moon is a perfect time for new beginnings and to sow seeds and prayers of intention. This particular new moon will be in Aries\, the first sign of the zodiac and a fire sign\, supporting us with strength and courage to be our most authentic self and follow our deepest hearts desire. We will work with these energies to reflect on our journey so far and burn away anything that no longer serves us. We will open ourselves to our greatest dreams and possibilities\, blazing a new trail to where we have never dared go before.  \nA retreat offers a safe and supported environment to open new spaces within your practice and it is always a dream come true for Mischa and Amisha to have the opportunity to offer the work that they themselves have found so extraordinarily powerful.

Find out more about it here.  \n  \nOptional Adventure // Transformative Festivals in Bali: \nThis retreat is timed perfectly between Bali Spirit Festival (19th-26th March) and the very first New Earth Festival (5-9th April)\, if you wanted to come early\, stay after or go to both festivals!  \n  \n \nYour Hosts \nAmisha & Mischa met through an advanced teacher training with Sianna Sherman and teaching in London studios. They first bonded over nearly having the same name\, and then as their journeys unfolded found a mutual love and motivation towards the discovery of yoga as both dedicated teachers and students. They have spent time in India together visiting temples and deepening their practice and continue to inspire and compliment one another with their passion and curiosity to challenge themselves\, each other and their students towards growth. \n \nAbout Mischa:  \n“The retreat was a sweet breath of fresh air. Mischa is a truly inspiring teacher who in four short days has helped me deepen my relationship to yoga and further the spiritual connection to my physical practice.” Loren\, Music Producer \n“I can’t express the transformation I experienced in both body and mind the retreat with Mischa.  She truly is an inspirational teacher.  What a blessing to have a whole week with her!  As a teacher myself\, I recognise the hard work and dedication that goes into these retreats and I can only say that Mischa has a true gift for sharing her strong\, soulful yoga in a way that truly connects you back to your root and to the universe as a whole.  I learnt so much about myself and about the beautiful gift that is Yoga.  Her energy is so nurturing and her passion and dedication to the practice shines through. I cannot wait for the next one! Thank you Mischa\, for continuing to inspire me on my journey.” Sally-Anne\, Yoga Teacher \n  \nMischa’s yoga journey began over a decade ago and slowly began to weave its way through her life; she is continually humbled and inspired by the potential of yoga to transform\, expand and heal and is devoted to sharing the practice with others.  She is a 500 hour trained teacher\, most recently finishing a 300 hour training with her teacher Sianna Sherman who is of enormous influence and inspiration to her. She has now stepped into apprenticeship with Sianna and assists on her workshops and trainings. Mischa has spent over a year in India studying\, practicing and visiting sacred sites and it holds a special place in her heart. \nHer teaching is heartfelt and creative with a deep focus on breath and alignment and a combination of strong steady flow and longer holds to both uplift and tap into the stillness. She practices both the Astanga Mysore method and Iyengar to support her asana practice\, but is most inspired to share the creativity of vinyasa and hatha flow which allow her the freedom to explore the infinite possibilities of the practice. She draws her understanding from a number of styles and traditions\, particularly inspired by the philosophy and practices of the Tantric lineage. Her classes are woven with philosophy\, myth and stories and include music\, chanting and ritual.  She is also influenced by her studies and training in the Priestess tradition and extensive travels to both Asia\, Indonesia and South America. \nMischa works with Ayurvedic Yoga Massage\, a beautiful combination of deep tissue massage with assisted yoga stretches and alignment\, and Reiki to support the physical and energetic healing process. She is also fully trained in Naturopathy and Nutritional Therapy which she integrates into her holistic approach in practicing and sharing the teachings and supporting individuals on their journey towards greater wellbeing. \nMischa is currently based in London teaching across some of the leading studios but continues to travel for study\, practice and teaching. Her teaching is passionate and knowledgeable\, her intention is to both challenge and restore\, holding a space for individuals to open\, reflect and absorb and you will be taken on a journey of self inquiry and unfolding. \n  \n \nAbout Amisha: \n“I came to Amisha’s retreat to learn more about the practice of YOGA. She taught me how to open up more and be in the moment. I loved how she created a space for the whole group to feel at home and safe. She really made me fall in love with Yoga. I will take her knowledge with me for the rest of my life. She is warm\, wise and lovely.” Aemilia\, Film Producer \n“Amisha is a gifted yoga teacher that shows her knowledge of both the spiritual and the physical side of yoga\, and teaches both brilliantly. This retreat was life changing and I still hear her voice singing mantras in my head!”  Paul\, Entrepreneur \nWith a love of yoga and meditation that has spanned over a decade\, Amisha Ghadiali’s own “burn out” led her to train as a teacher\, which in turn opened a giant rabbit hole into the mystical realms. Her classes are strong yet relaxing\, focused on clear alignment and moving from the heart. She has a calming presence and uses playful theming\, mantra and experience of exploring world wisdom traditions\, to leave her students with inspiration\, grounding and joy they can bring into their daily lives.  \nAmisha is a 500 hour certified Yoga teacher after completing her advanced teacher training with Sianna Sherman\, and is a modern day priestess\, reiki master and intuitive energy healer. Her background is in politics and sustainable fashion\, and since 2006 she has been designing jewellery for her own label with the tagline “elegance rebellion.” She creates meaningful pieces such as malas for chanting\, made with precious gemstones. She brings all this awareness and her fascination with the relationship of our inner and outer worlds\, to her work.  \nAmisha has used these practices in her own life to work with trauma including recovering from being run over by a pick-up truck. She has lived that typical stressful city life\, and found that bringing a soulful healthy approach to her every day made things much more rewarding and balanced. She recently founded Replenish\, where she leads retreats and works one-on-one through her mentoring programme to assist you in creating space to show up for yourself each day and to facilitate the formation of lifelong habits that will support and nurture your inner and outer connections. \nAmisha is also a writer and speaker on all aspects of conscious and green living. A big part of her ‘yoga’ is exploring how we relate to the world around us and embody our values.  She edited the collaborative book\, The Future Is Beautiful – A Collection from Think Act Vote\, coining the term Creative Activism and bringing together ideas and artwork from over two hundred contributors to inspire a brighter future. Her words have appeared in publications including The Huffington Post\, Rebelle Society & Ecouterre and she has spoken at events and festivals around the world such as TEDx Oxbridge\, Sunday Papers Live & Burning Man.  \nHow to Book: \nIf you have any questions or like to reserve your place\, please contact Amisha on takeamoment@amisha.co.uk or Mischa on info@mischavarmuza.com \n

Mischa is a truly inspiring teacher who in four short days has helped me deepen my relationship to yoga and further the spiritual connection to my physical practice.” Loren\, Music Producer \n“I came to Amisha’s retreat to learn more about the practice YOGA.  She taught me how to open up more and be in the moment. I loved how she created a space for the whole group to feel at home and safe. She really made me fall in love with Yoga. I will take her knowledge with me for the rest of my life. She’s a warm\, wise and lovely person”. Aemilia\, Film Producer \n“I can’t express the transformation I experienced in both body and mind the retreat with Mischa.  She truly is an inspirational teacher.  What a blessing to have a whole week with her!  As a teacher myself\, I recognise the hard work and dedication that goes into these retreats and I can only say that Mischa has a true gift for sharing her strong\, soulful yoga in a way that truly connects you back to your root and to the universe as a whole.  I learnt so much about myself and about the beautiful gift that is Yoga.  Her energy is so nurturing and her passion and dedication to the practice shines through. I cannot wait for the next one! Thank you Mischa\, for continuing to inspire me on my journey.” Sally-Anne\, Yoga Teacher \n“Amisha is a gifted yoga teacher that shows her knowledge of both the spiritual and the physical side of yoga\, and teaches both brilliantly. This retreat was life changing and I still hear her voice singing mantras in my head!” Paul\, Entrepreneur \nAbout Mischa: \n \nMischa teaches a heartfelt practice with creative sequencing\, a deep focus on breath and alignment and a combination of strong steady flow and longer holds to both uplift and tap into the stillness. She draws her understanding from a number of styles and traditions\, particularly inspired by the philosophy and practices of the Tantric lineages. Her classes are woven with philosophy\, myth and stories and include music\, chanting and ritual.   \nMischa also works with Ayurvedic Yoga Massage\, a beautiful combination of deep tissue massage with assisted yoga stretches and alignment\, and Reiki to support the physical and energetic healing process.
