SUMMARY:Becoming the Light Within
DESCRIPTION:Let’s begin the new year together– honoring our highest selves and manifesting a bright future. As 2026 approaches\, we have an opportunity to pause\, breathe\, and find ourselves in this chaotic world. We can turn toward the steady light within us for stability and guidance. This inner light is the teacher of all teachers. It is the spark that ignites the sun\, illuminates the planets\, and powers the core of our bodies. It is the voice that speaks through our conscience\, and the guide that always shows the path back towards wholeness. \nWithin each of us lies the power to soften the grip of suffering. As the great teachings say\, only a clear and self-aware mind can merge with the light of our pure nature and flood the darkness of ignorance. Knowledge—the deep knowing of who we are and all that we’re capable of—is the force that intensifies our inner brilliance. \nBecoming the Light Within — A New Year’s Retreat is an invitation to know our own radiance\, dissolve doubt and fear\, and step into the new year with clarity\, vitality\, and a renewed sense of purpose. Members of HI’s core faculty\, along with honored guest presenters\, are excited to offer this transformational retreat that combines inspiration\, practice\, relaxation\, and community fellowship. \nThroughout\, we’ll engage in yoga\, meditation\, and guided reflections to unblock internal pathways and restore our natural brilliance. Nourishing meals\, comforting teas\, free time for integration\, creative exploration\, and moments of fellowship will sustain and uplift us as we ground ourselves in our truest essence. \nStep into 2026 shining your brightest knowing that the same eternal splendor that lights the sun\, moon\, and stars shines its brightest within you. \nSome highlights of this retreat include:\n\nLighting Our Inner Flame\, an intention-setting session with singing bowls that opens the door to several days of self-exploration;\nBreathing Light: Awakening Pranic Flow\, where prana — our lifeforce — is stirred through subtle practices that help us breathe with intention and stoke our inner fire;\nRadiance in Motion\, an active yoga session that directs prana through postures and controlled movement;\nHarmonic Healing: Sound Bath & Deep Rest a relaxing sound bath with singing bowls and gongs that will attune body\, mind\, and spirit to subtle energy\, healing\, and spaciousness;\nLightness of Being\, an embodied all-levels yoga practice that invites playful movement and joyful presence;\nIgniting Creativity: Intention-Setting Through Art\, a hands-on art making session that blends guided intention work with creative expression;\nAkhanda Japa\, connect our hearts and the power of positive intention with a powerful group meditation leading up to midnight on New Year’s Eve;\nAnd much more…
