ASHTANGA – MEDICINE – MUSIC
Synergy of ashtanga vinyasa yoga, jungle ceremonies & sound meditation
Once in a year we create this annual experience of deep reconnection within your self as part of Mather Nature. This beautiful retreat is a complete jungle experience held within a very private, secure and safe container. John & Julia with Experienced Guest Facilitators invite you to journey with them transcending the noise of the mundane world and ordinary thinking mind to create peace and harmony, arriving in the Pres- ent Moment with the doors of the unconditional Heart wide open.
Julia & John are providing an incredible opportunity for you to be part of a collective energy that flows together with a common intention to create an Adventurous Jour- ney of Transformation to Wholeness. Facilitated through a synergy of Transcendental Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, Pranayama, Meditation, Chanting, Philosophy combining our traditional yoga practices with Central and South America Ceremonial Medicine ex- periences.
The traditional Mayan culture opens a space for us to embrace and experience mysti- cal adventures of cleansing and healing through; savouring the Sacred Cacao, return- ing to baby held in the womb of the Temazcal, purging toxins and strengthening our immune systems by applying Kambo medicine. And finally a Sound Meditation that gives unique opportunity to expand our consciousness, quite the mind and dive deep into the heart space.

Extended Sound Meditation Ceremony. Is a unique opportunity to connect with inner space through deep listening. Sound is the main medicine of the journey, though we will also use the power of the plant medicine to quiet the chatter of the ordinary mind and create gentle set- ting to connect with our heart space.
Listening to the Sound bringing us to inner reflection of our life on heighten level. In Sound Meditation , we learn to listen to the silence between the sounds, the spaces between the notes, to learn about the power of silence… power of space. Listening is not a passive experience. The ancient practice of Nada Yoga teaches us how to deeply listen to outside sounds to activate and listen to the sounds within ourselves. By learning how to listen, one learns how to silence the mind. Silence becomes Space. Space becomes the power to choose and create our realities
Wednesday, February 28th
Late Morning Gentle Yoga Practice. Held and nurtured by both John and Julia, each guest will have an opportunity to self-practice to process and integrate insights and messages from Sunday evening’s ceremony.
Potential journey to Mayan channels if group would like to experience it. Fee is not included, to be arranged on the spot
Flower Bath. Bathing with plants assists in the spiritual cleansing
The energy of the leaves and flowers helps the resolution of internal psychological conflicts and charges the participants with positive vibrations, freeing them from the negative energy they have absorbed throughout their lives

John Scott
John has been a student of Yoga, of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga since 1987, however during retrospective reverie, John realises that much of his early years at school were spent daydreaming – “eyes fixed out through the window as if travelling to another dimension of reality..”
When does one start yoga? John questions and believes that once you start to question; where are you, where have you come from, what are you, what are you doing and where are you going? When these questions percolate and bubble to the surface, you become aware you are already on the Journey of enquiry, the enquiry into your true nature and purpose for being here on this physical plain. It is through the practice of AVY and deep enquiry into the self that John has brought all his earlier experiences and meditations into his life work of sharing.
John’s teaching is therefore very metaphorical, analytical, technical and often humorous, his teaching style appeals to students of many backgrounds and nationalities, teaching workshops throughout the world. John remains an avid student of yoga and relationship fascinated by the linking of different traditions and cultures through symbols, language and the Counted Method of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga.
Julia Scott
Actor, Yogini and Singer. Julia began her spiritual journey, first with Iyengar Yoga and Buddhist Practices. For 10 years Julia was fully involved in acting life and performed in many Polish and international film projects.
This full-on life experience brought her to the point of understanding that something very important was missing, her true self. To feel forfilled, an inner transformation was necessary, that was the moment that Julia was introduced to Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, it became so clear to her that this one dynamic practice encompassed an in-
ner journey of self-expression and deep discovery. Julia fully immersed herself in the practice and sharing the gems of AVY. Now when Julia is teaching and adjusting yoga asana, she draws from her multiple disciplines incorporating and integrating relation- ship skills so that the student feels met, held and supported, allowing for their inner expression to be articulated. After Sound Meditation Training, frequencies and sound are inseparable elements of her sharing. Julia’s gift is her voice, when joining her in mantra without realizing, the students’ voices begin to harmonize and oneness per- vades the space.
The synergy of Julia and John’s two energies fuel a collective experience of play, ad- venture, discovery and a resulting sense of belonging.
Ale Sai
Ale Sai is indigenous to Mexico and has the gift of not only melting cacao she also melts hearts when she sings. Growing up with a father who was a talented Kirtan Musician Ale Sai has naturally followed that path and embodies all the characteristics of Bhakti and Devotion. She is a wonderful space holder in Cacao, Kirtan, Temazcal and many other ceremonies. It is a pleasure to have Ale Sai as one of our special ceremonial space holders.

Temazcal is a type of sweat lodge which originated from pre-Hispanic indigenous peoples in Mesoamerica. The word temazcal comes from the Nahuatl word temāzcalli (“house of heat”), or possibly from the Aztec ‘teme’ (to bathe) and ‘calli’ (house).
The Maya, in modern-day Mexico, used the temazcal as a place for both spiritual ceremonies and physical healing. They would enter the temazcal for days at a time in search of the answers within themselves, exiting the ritual as a newly profound being. In general, the temazcal was viewed by the Mayans as the womb of Mother Earth.
Volcanic stones are heated red hot and placed in a pit inside. We will sit together huddled in the warmth of the womb while Ali Sai performs a series of guided meditations targeted at cleansing and harmonizing the spirit.
Kambo, also known as frog medicine, is the venomous secretion of Phyllomedusa bicolor, a bright green tree frog native to the Amazon basin. It can be found in the rainforest regions Brazil, Peru and Colombia.
Kambo has a range of traditional and potential therapeutic applications, both medical and psycho-spiritual. The frog serum is known for its powerful purgative effects. Despite its initial unpleasantness, kambo is widely sought out to revitalize body and the immediate effects of kambo medicine are intense but short-lived, usually lasting no more than 20-40 minutes. They include a rise in internal temperature, sweating, shivers, and dizziness as the heart rate increases. Nausea is generally unavoidable with kambo and purging or vomiting is most likely.
Purging “resets” the body, not only by strengthening the immune system but also through distinct psycho-spiritual benefits. A profoundly transformational tool, kambo medicine is known to increase compassion, courage, emotional stability, and personal sovereignty.
