The Laboratorio classes with Jessica Walker take place each morning, and offer a physical, mental and spiritual training where you generate, create and give yourself. We will focus on Body Perception, Body Knowledge and Perception of the Divine, through Breathing, Concentration and Meditation. We will improvise from the state, from the emotion. We will delve into bodily, gestural and dramatic creation. Each evening, Jessica Walker will offer an additional one-hour session: Laboratorio Bakhti. An outdoors spiritual practice: focused, direct and spontaneous.
Every morning there will be a Lundalini Yoga class, a session of asana and pranayama practice by the shade of the trees: we energize the body and focus the mind for the day. For all levels.
Every day, at dawn, we will hike to the small temple of Durga - just 10 minutes from the ashram - where we will have a sungazing session: a meditation watching the sunrise behind Mount Arunachala. The session ends with a prayer and a Vedic chant.
During the evenings we will offer a varied program. There will be two Kirtan sessions, hosted by different guest musicians from Tiruvannamalai. A deep devotional experience through music and collective singing. Another couple of nights we will have an Open Stage session, for the participants to show their art. Music, theater, poetry, dance, songs... An invitation to bring your beauty and share it. Finally, there will be two nights of dancing: the Laboratorio Jam Session and the Final Party, the last evening of the Festi.
In the afternoons, we offer a varied menu of workshops for you to choose the activity that best suits you. Each day we will put at your disposal three different workshops, so that you select according to your mood of that day. Dance, yoga, singing, meditation, philosophy, creative writing...
