Settle Into Stillness
Settle Into Stillness unites the healing power of deep relaxation with sacred sound. Settle Into Stillness was founded by Jeremy Arndt and Nancy Grzeszak, who met in 2011 and began traveling around the world together, sharing their passions of yoga and music through their Sound Journey events. Settle Into Stillness combines different world music instrumentation such as the handpan and didgeridoo with elements of gong baths and crystal singing bowls, creating an offering that remains entirely unique amongst today’s mindfulness-based musical offerings.
Jeremy and Nancy are both dedicated yoga students and teachers, living in service of inspiring others to live from their hearts and follow their dreams. In addition to their Sound Journeys, they lead their Conscious Living Retreats worldwide. Past retreats include Bali, Indonesia in 2016 and 2018, Lesvos, Greece in 2017, and Morocco in 2019.
Join Carrie Klaus, ERYT 500 and Ayurvedic Yoga Specialist, to awaken your senses and connect to your spirit through the natural elements on this unique yoga and ayurveda inspired retreat.
Immerse yourself in the scenic Delphi Valley of Ireland and nourish the intelligence of your senses. Using your senses to connect to nature through the 5 great elements will lead you to a deeper connection of your own inner nature.
Each day participants will explore how their senses are related to the elements and to consciousness by using the principles of yoga and ayurveda. Daily yoga and meditation practices will help awaken the consciousness, and ample opportunities to explore the great outdoors through the senses will reconnect each participant to their true inner nature by reconnecting them to the natural elements.
Our home for the week is the Delphi Resort, situated in the heart of the breathtaking Delphi Valley, surrounded by hundreds of acres of forest. This setting offers participants opportunities to explore the 5 great elements with dozens of land and water activities available, and plenty of time to just sit and take it all in, or book a spa service and treat yourself to a day of deep relaxation.
Carrie’s intention is that you leave this retreat feeling more connected to nature, more connected to each other, and more connected to your Self!
