Live in the Light Retreat

Yoga and Meditation in the foothills of the French Pyrenees

14th May to 18th May 2026

In a world full of challenges, are you looking for more light in your life, the light of positivity and peace?

You can find this Light through Meditation, Yoga and being on retreat, away from the stresses of our everyday lives. Come and join us for
four days, to truly recharge and deeply nourish yourself on all levels ~ mind, body and spirit. Let Peace stabilize within you on our Live in the Light Retreat.

Time to get away, to truly recharge, spiritually as well as mentally and physically. This is a retreat with a difference; you actually retreat, fully, step back from everything, and live 4 days the yogic way, in a safe, small group (6/7 maximum). Eat, act, breathe, learn, reflect and interact more consciously and lovingly, reminding yourself how to respond positively to life.

Arrive 14th May, depart 18th May 2026

€490 (£435) to €560 (£499), depending on accommodation choice.

You will be breathing purer air, eating pure organic vegan/vegetarian foods, prepared with love, drinking pure Pyrenees water, and nurturing peaceful thought patterns.

The natural environment and peaceful energies will relax your mental and physical bodies while encouraging the evolution of your spiritual consciousness.

Facilitators
Dharmananda and Susannama are both experienced meditators, yoga teachers and spiritual healers, available for support and guidance on your retreat.

Meditation

On this retreat there will be two Open Meditation sessions held in the beautiful and peaceful Dharma Room each morning and evening. If you do not have your own Meditation practice, there will be the opportunity to learn Pure Meditative Peace, a precious practice, to help you relax, let go of awareness of the body and begin to still the mind. It is accessible to all and easy to integrate into everyday life after your retreat.

Yoga

The two daily Hath yoga classes, taught in the morning and afternoon/evening will be a gentle form of Hatha Yoga, to help balance us on all levels ~ mind, body and spirit. It is suitable for all levels of experience, including beginners. The classes are designed to calm the mind, while releasing stress, toxins and tension from the body, leaving you feeling more energised, uplifted and relaxed. Each class will end with a guided, deep relaxation to help you connect deeply to the Peace within.

The support and spiritual guidance you receive, from Dharmananda and Susannama (during and after your retreat), will encourage expansion and understanding of the challenges we all face at this time ~ the practices will remind us, or teach us, how to better care for our energies in order to maintain peace and balance amidst it all.
