SACRED VALLEY YOGA & AYURVEDA RETREAT
Samadhi Sacred Valley | Cusco, Peru
August 1-7, 2024
VITALITY. CREATIVITY. CONNECTION.
YOU'RE INVITED!
We're off to Samadhi Retreat Center, located in the Sacred Valley of Cusco, Peru.
​
IMAGINE: Daily Yoga classes and Ayurveda workshops with breathtaking views of the valley and Andes Mountains, 3 meals a day with fresh ingredients from Samadhi's garden, cultural immersion through art therapy, pachamama ceremonies, spiritual hikes, healing spa services, a trip to one of the World's Wonders, Machu Picchu, and plenty of time to relax, rejuvenate, and restore.
​
This retreat will provide you with an opportunity to deepen your connection to Pachamama (Mother Earth) through Samadhi's unique and natural location, their cultural offerings and ceremonies, and FSW's Ayurveda Workshops.
Ayurveda is the sister science of Yoga and it teaches you how to live your best possible life with back-to-basic and natural approaches to healthy living through knowledge of philosophy, spirituality, meditation, daily routine, and food as medicine. Through these practices we learn how to align ourselves with Mama Nature and all of the abundance she has to offer so we can tap into our vitality, creativity, and cultivate deeper connection with ourselves, others, and the world around us.
​
When we put together the sacredness of Samadhi and its culture along with the elements of an FSW Retreat (Yoga, Ayurveda & Community), it creates a body, mind, and spirit connection that will enable you to live a life of harmony, happiness, and abundance.
It's all set & we'd love to have you join!

Designed with the sacred geometry, Samadhi will submerge you in the universe of the Chakras, walking through the Kundalini and wrapping you in its spaces, colors, textures, flavors and art adapted for the energy central, so you can get to know and explore your essence.

ABOUT MACHU PICCHU FULL DAY SPIRITUAL JOURNEY
Where the essence of life is born.
​
We leave Samadhi early in the morning in our private transport and travel to the train station in Ollantaytambo, where we will take our train to the city of Aguas Calientes. The train journey will take approximately 1h45m. We will have time to have breakfast in Aguas Calientes before continuing our bus trip to the archaeological center of Machu Picchu. Before entering our Spiritual Guide, we will ask permission from mountain spirits in the INCA language and everyone will ask permission in the languages of their ancestors. We will follow our heart to the different energy points and share the sacred leaves of Coca (MAMACOCA) with APU MACHU PICCHU and APU HUYANA PICCHU to open our heart and mind to harmonize the energy channels in our bodies, while doing some exercises to feel the Machu Picchu energy. In the afternoon we return to Aguas Calientes for our lunch. Finally, we will travel back to Cusco.

TESTIMONIALS FROM PAST RETREATERS
What People Say
Lindsey N., Canada
Carole is an incredible skilled and wise teacher, and enlightened us with so much during her workshops. I really enjoyed the variety of yoga and left retreat feeling refreshed. I hope to join another retreat the future and have already recommended them to friends back home!
Wade N., North Carolina
I have been a student of Carole’s since 2017. Her passion for sharing Yoga is what drew me in to begin my Yoga practice. Every practice she comes with a purpose and a message, and I keep coming back. 😀
Carole’s retreats are AMAZING, I have participated in 2. She brings her PASSION, PURPOSE and MESSAGE much wider and deeper. Everybody gets filled and leaves feeling renewed and perhaps knowing themselves a little better. In addition, friendships are made. I highly recommend experiencing Carole’s retreats! And if living in the Charlotte area taking her classes.
Cindy B., North Carolina
Carole definitely over-delivered and lead this retreat from a place of experience and compassion. She is wise beyond her years and I always feel fully supported in her presence. Carole’s extensive training, knowledge and life experiences shine through in everything she teaches. Carole is a beautiful soul both inside and out and I don’t believe this retreat would have been as meaningful for me if it weren’t for her. I plan on implementing many of the practices she taught us and am excited to see where the next chapter of my life takes me.
