1. Conscious Values
Our focus here is on facilitating an environment designed to foster inward growth. Amidst the noises and rush of daily life, we have lost connection with our inner self, leading to anxiety, stress, overthinking and other illnesses.
At such times, we seek solace and silence to find peace, centeredness and answers to our queries.
Drawing inspiration from Indian philosophy and ashrams, we follow the below conscious principles to progress on our inward spiritual journey.
We choose positive actions, words, and attitude to respect the peaceful atmosphere
We focus on self-introspection and study to expand our self-awareness
We engage in conscious practices to harmonise our body, mind and emotions
We consume vegetarian diet to be physically healthy and our minds calm and clear
2. Conscious Practices
We offer daily yoga, pranayama, meditation and philosophy sessions led by certified instructors from India.
In addition, we have bi-weekly workshops on conscious movements, coaching etc. to foster inner growth.
All our activities are designed to release our suppressed emotions and stress and expand our self-awareness to promote inner peace, clarity and harmony.
Our workshop themes include Dance, Cacao ceremonies, Acro Yoga, Sound healing etc.
We also offer Spanish lessons weekly to help you integrate with Latin American culture :)
Also, join us on our mindful trips to the river and natural spots and our weekly visits to the Mercado!
