(Departure from Karachi)

Awaken your inner child & dance your free spirit
Surrender to nature & sing your soulful song
Immerse in a non-judgmental space & pamper yourself to luxury!
In a time where we seek happiness externally, from the material world, this workshop guides you to look within, to reach your authentic self, and begin to practice self-love. With the nurturing support of the sun, mountains, river and clean air, the activities will be both healing and fun. Come prepared to move your body!

Activity details:

Dance Meditation- Through free-form movement, music, and gentle guided instruction, we put in motion and get rid of any rigidity and tensions in our bodies. This practice allows us to align with our inner flow and cultivate bliss and stillness.

Music circle- Singing, chanting, dancing, instruments- all is welcome and encouraged in this non-judgmental space.

Inner Child Work- Through self-exploration exercises from a psychotherapeutic background, we can connect with our authentic self, tap into spontaneity, creativity and return to innocence.
