Bliss of Being Yoga Retreat

Coming March 2025 | Pacific Coast Colombia

March 2025

A heart-opening journey of self-discovery, adventure & reconnection to Nature, embraced by the Pacific Ocean

Bliss of Being Yoga Retreat

Hello dear ones!

It is a great honor to guide this retreat into the depths of sacred connection with Catalina Carvajal.

Bliss of Being is a profound, immersive yoga retreat exploring the themes of Awakening Divinity Within. We are already divine, but overlays of conditioning & trauma cause us to forget. In this retreat, we remember who we truly are, in a loving container of support + authenticity.

Rooted in the wisdom and tradition of Sattva Himalayan Yoga & Meditation, the Dasha Mahavidyas and the nurturing essence of the Divine Mother, this transformative journey balances the divine feminine & divine masculine within, lunar & solar energy, alignment with nature, inner wisdom, trust, surrender, and our impact on the collective consciousness.

Through a blend of yoga, breathwork, meditation, nature immersion, and self-exploration, you will undergo a spiritual rebirth, shedding old layers, and emerging as your most authentic Self. A celebration of life's beauty and a voyage into the depths of self-discovery, this life-changing retreat offers profound renewal, soul nourishment, refreshment, and reconnection to your inner blessings and the pure bliss of simply being.

Decompose old patterns, release what no longer serves you, and embrace new beginnings, all while fostering a deep connection to Divinity within and without.

We start each day tuning ourselves to the sun with Sattva Himalayan Meditation followed by a transformational Himalayan Kundalini Yoga Journey. These journeys have been described as energy medicine for the soul. They awaken and balance the energy body and chakra system,, bringing an experience of lightness, abundance, joy, strength, vitality, fearlessness & ferocious love.

In evenings we wind down with another physical or meditative practice, an immersive sound bath, or group healing with multidimensional Reiki.

It is our passion to share these teachings and hold sacred space for your greater unfoldment.

Every day offers revitalization in the form of sound—from the ocean waves, to the gong and crystal bowls, to mantra and kirtan, to the silent vibration within.

Every Himalayan Kundalini journey includes a unique combination of asana, breathwork/pranayama, kriya, mantra, meditation, or freedom movement.

May 2024 be an invitation to deepen sacred connection, with more time spent nurturing your needs, accepting yourself fully, and loving yourself wholly as you honor your evolution in progress.

All our love,
Heather & Catalina

  • "I am where I'm meant to be. I had great gossamer webs of gold myelin all throughout my body. Following my meridians down then up. And out of my brain flew golden pages that were disintegrated by the sun. The breathing techniques we did in our last meeting really affected me. I feel them in my existing practice."

  • "Before I took Heather's 5 Element Breathwork Immersion, I was struggling to have a daily meditation practice. I found the daily practices delicious and rewarding. Heather's joyful approach and perspective stoked the fire within me and has me truly looking forward to practice every day!"

    Mardalena D.

  • "In my practice today, I saw my grandmother, her house, her yard, her smile, and the last time I saw her. I was crying and thinking of myself as a child, forgiving myself for some things I've always been ashamed of doing that affected my relationship with my grandmothers. She died when I was 12, and I don't know how or if I grieved her. I did today and then I hung out in her backyard in the sunlight with the robins and blue jays. Thank you for this practice. Thank you for your guidance through this. It was a great day."

  • “After I complete the practice, I feel beautiful and radiant. I am often closed down when out in public, but recently someone asked me for my phone number! I normally wouldn’t have been open to the exchange at all, much less have said yes. I don’t know where this is going, I have no expectations, but it feels so good!”

    Joyce M

  • "I sat down to meditate and found myself flying! I was an eagle with an elongated neck and majestic wings. I was soaring soooo close to the ground I could feel my wings stirring up pebbles and sand! It was fabulous!"
