Can we be deeply at peace inside and yet passionately engaged in the world?

In these times that can be such a source of stress, anxiety, disconnection and confusion. We are very happy to return to Europe with a powerful healing, rejuvenate and inspiring retreat. The retreat will be held in a a beautiful property on Lake Maggiore in Northern Italy 45 minutes from Milano Malpensa Airport.

This 7 day retreat will have yoga, meditation, breathwork, satsangs, music, dance, healthy delicious cuisine, connection time with nature, other wonderful friends from around the world, and plenty of time to relax and rejuvenate.

Theme of the retreat is "Peace and Passion". Can we be deeply at peace inside and yet passionately engaged in the world? Can we be of service to the world without feeling depleted? Can we rest in the ground of BEing while expressing our deepest creativity and purpose? Can we be relaxed yet alert, attentive, still inside, yet in harmony with movement of life? Can we ignite our highest, most actualized selves from the deepest ground of BEing? Can we be both the peace and passion? You're invited to explore and embody these truths with us in a beautiful, serene, inspiring oasis. This is our 3rd Annual Peace & Passion Retreat in Laveno Mombello, Italy.

"I have attended multiple retreats with Brian and Annie, and in each, I experienced co-creating an intentional, spiritual community with other participants, deep connections with others, and new insights into my own being. The retreat environment calls forth and nurtures my highest self, helps me release negatives and ideas of self-limitation, embrace my potential, and find new wellsprings of joy inside myself” – S.K., Sacramento California

“The retreat experience with Brian is a living symphony composed of various heart opening movements or phases. Each movement is grounded in the expressed intention of the group, and galvanized through presence, into the effortless unfolding of each magical now.” – L.I. Boulder Colorado

“I was really happy to have Annie as my yoga teacher on our retreat in Italy. I've been practicing hatha yoga for 10 years, but I had never experienced kundalini yoga. It was a real pleasure to discover it with her. All of the classes were accompanied by inspiring music which provided such beautiful energy for the day to come! Annie also introduced us to breathwork which was a very powerful experience for me as it helped me get in touch with & release my emotions. In this breathwork, she assisted us in a very kind and professional way. I experienced a great sense of peace & clarity after the sessions ended. I wish she could come to Belgium to give us her yoga & breathwork classes!” -Geraldine, Belgium
