Our philosophy

सहज

sahajaSanskrit

saha together with+ja born

born with you · natural · innate

Sahaja is the state you were born with: natural, unforced, fully present, full of joy and curiosity.

Everyday life can bury it, but it never leaves you.

You don't find it by withdrawing from the world. You find it in the middle of life: in movement and breath, in dance and journaling, in a long shared meal, in a day outside with nowhere to be. Slowly the mind grows quiet, and you begin to sense what feels right for you.

Our retreats are six days to return to it, and to carry it home with you.

What are Sahaja Retreats

Six days, guided by the elements.

A small group of like-minded people, a beautiful place in nature, two or three highly experienced teachers and a high-end private chef. Each day is guided by one element, and every practice that day works with its quality.

Day oneEarth

Arrive & ground

Settle into the landscape, meet the group and slowly land in your body.

Day twoWater

Come into the body

Soften and let things move. A day of fluidity, feeling and letting go.

Day threeFire

Wake your energy

Find your strength and inner heat. A day to challenge yourself, playfully.

Day fourAir

Open the heart

Breathe deeper and open up. Your connection to others, and to yourself, grows even deeper.

Day fiveSpace

Make room

Stillness and spaciousness. Room for clarity, perspective and whatever wants to emerge.

Day sixIntegration

Carry it home

Gather what you found and take it with you into everyday life.
