A weekend retreat dedicated to Goddess Radha -
The Embodiment of Love and Compassion, full of grace and mercy.
Join us to deepen the knowledge of bhakti yoga and learn more about the Queen Radha and devotion to Her in bhakti yoga community Radhadesh that is situated in a beautiful pictureresque Ardennes in Belgium.
We will gather the last weekend in August to celebrate the Hindu Goddess Radha appearance in this world with diving deeper into the essence of Her being as Love through prayers and songs, through storytelling and worship. It will be very sacred and auspicious time to dedicate our time in devotion to Her as Sunday, August 31st is Her Appearance Day and there will be a big celebration happening in Radhadesh community and you are warmly invited to spend the whole day at the festival.
Every morning we start our day with nada yoga and vocal warm up exercises to explore the power of the sound through stepping into the voice healing practices to discover our voice as a healing instrument and expression of devotion.
Each day we will gather in sacred space to learn and share bhajans and prayers that celebrate the love and presence of Radha.
In these devotional sessions we will
- learn to sing these sacred songs in devotional mood
- explore their meanings
- practice playing them on harmonium (bring yours if you have one)
- immerse ourselves in group chanting as a way to deepen connection to the Divine
- listen to stories and teachings that reveal the mystery, beauty and divine play of Radha
These sessions are a time to soften, to remember, and to enter the space where sound becomes prayer, and prayer becomes presence.
It is a retreat for those who would like to deepen their bhakti and learn more devotional songs and chants to offer our worhsip to Queen Radha.
