Kirtan in Bermagui. All Welcome💛

Kirtan is a joyful meditation practice which is part of Yoga tradition. It
involves rhytmically chanting mantras with music. Community singing in call
and response style. No previous experience is necessary.



Mantras are root or seed sounds. They are not an ordinary language. The
purpose of chanting mantra is to free the mundane mind, open our heart and
connect us with our infinite nature. The ancient sound vibrations invoke
divine qualities and virtues such as love, wisdom, courage, peace, truth
and bliss.

As a Yoga practice Kirtan bring us together as one through the vibration of
mantra.



We are a group of friends in the Bega Valley who are passionate about Yoga
and Kirtan. We've been playing together for some years. We feel honoured to
share this simple joyful meditation with you.



We hope to see you there!

Mandala France Retreat
*Come and Join us in the South of France...*

*Thursday 4th - Monday 8th September 2025*

Mandala Retreat
Magic Hill
Rosis Haut Languedoc, France



The south of France is absolutely stunning! If you are yet to experience
the beauty and nature here, let me give you a little insight..

A cool breeze begins to whisper, the hills are green and flower blossom is
still rich in the air. Music dances through the streets, smells of wine and
baked sweets. The mornings are slow and quiet. Potent beginnings for
stretching out on your mat. Yoga and mediation practice aligns us for the
day of wandering, swimming and lazing in the last of the summer’s rays.

A retreat in this land will be simple and sweet. We will come together in
celebration of the joy of life, the beauty of our bodies moving with
connection and breath. Creative play and lots of time to wander through the
cobbled lanes with innocent bliss.

Through the week we will weave time through mandala to signify the
transformation of a universe of suffering into one of joy. We set
intentions and we build the foundations for the beautiful life we envision
within our hearts. The circles representing the cycles and seasons of our
life experiences, the letting go and the space for renewal.



*Location:*

Béziers Cap d'Agde
Nestled in the heart of the Haut Languedoc Natural Park, the accomodation
offers a peaceful escape surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. It
provides the perfect balance between tranquility, accessibility and
diversity. The location is ideal, less than one hour drive from the sea,
half an hour from rivers, gorges and a 1100 meters high mountain. Once an
old wine pressor, Magic Hill exudes a unique blend of history and elegance.



*Nature and Activities*
This beautiful nature rich region of France will be our playground and
inspiration. With lots of free time to explore and sit in the warm summer
sun or swim in the pool. We will also go on a Kayak adventure and many
immersions into the embrace of the natural world within and around us.

Walking trails nearby offer amazing views and scenery. A Beach Trip is also
included to a quiet secluded and very special beach. The intention behind
these retreats are to really slow down, to reconnect with the our natural
spirit, time to sit with the trees, to digest and reflect. We often have
busy lives that leave no time for these sacred moments to pause, listen and
reset. It is intuituve practice within the human psyche that is healing and
powerful in so many ways. Less is more and simplicity is alluring.

Come and reconnect with your true and wild, spacious and aligned self! We
can not to wait to meet you here.



*Yoga and Meditation*
Each day Vera and Alice will guide you through some morning practices.

These include a Yoga Nidra, the state of dynamic sleep. It is a systematic
method of inducing complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation, in
which one appears to be asleep, but the consciousness is functioning at a
deeper level of awareness. Yoga Nidra is often referred to as psychic sleep
or deep relaxation with inner awareness. In the threshold state between
sleep and wakefulness, contact with the subconscious and unconscious
dimensions occurs spontaneously.

The Yoga Classes will take you into your heart and the depths of your
being, and as such is so much more than an asana/physical practice. As our
bodies become still with a relaxed focus, our minds follow and the asana
becomes a meditation. We have an awareness phase after every asana to drop
deeper and notice the effects of the asana throughout our body and spirit.



*Local Food and Private Sessions*
Included: 3 delicious meals daily

France is Foodie Heaven! And we are so excited to have the incredible
Clotilde Delbekecooking for us and sharing her amazing creations!

"I am committed to (re)giving meaning to our food, to sharing with joy and
gentleness a way of eating that is good for the body, the mind, and the
rest of Nature. I like to say that the cuisine I share is tasty, beneficial
and committed.

My pleasure is precisely to awaken your taste buds and see your eyes light
up with your curiosity for plant-based cuisine. It is to be able to let my
creativity, my intuition, my greed speak , over the seasons and the
associations of flavors. It is to compose beautiful tables, colorful,
harmonious plates, around which we gather, we feast, we savor life."

*Meet your Hosts*



Vera
I’m Vera, a Traditional Yoga Teacher and Healer. I provide a safe and
loving space that allows you to be fully in your heart and listen to what
it wants to share with you. From a young age I had the feeling that the
universe had something else in mind for me and when yoga came on my path,
it changed my life and yoga became my daily practice, and way of living. I
fell in love with Traditional Hatha Yoga, a practice rooted in the heart
and felt the longing to share this with the world because it brought me
back to life, and into my heart.

I love bringing community together at the Good Vibes Studio in Bermagui,
NSW, where I hold a space for facilitators to offer their gifts and share
my own love for Traditional Hatha Yoga and Ashati Healing.  As a child I
used to go on holiday in France and loved being in nature, swimming in the
rivers, kayaking and playing on the beach. It feels special to go back to
Europe, where I grew up, and offer this retreat in a part of the world that
feels like home. I feel excited to hold this retreat with my dear sister
Alice, as we are both passionate about yoga, health and bringing more joy
and playfulness into everyone's life.




*Alice*
Hi, I am Alice Howlett, a freedom seeker and a Bachelor qualified
Naturopath, Massage therapist and Yoga Teacher. I have been immersed in the
teachings of yoga and natural healing for over a decade and knew from an
early age that I wanted to work with people, the environment and holistic
health. I support clients deepen their relationship with self to understand
their body and mind and what is needed to regain balance within.

As a dedicated and passionate practitioner with experience holding retreats
and setting up programs around the world, including ‘Natural Instinct
Healing’ and ‘Costa Dulce’, my aim is to be of service. To bring joy and
inspiration through nature immersions and wellness experiences that
encourage us all to lead from the heart. I can not wait to meet you!



*Marenn*
Marenn is a successful empowerment coach internationally certified in zen
coaching & results coaching; he is also a nature loving permaculturalist
and talented creator.

Living in authentic self connection Marenn naturally inspires others to
refind their own center and integrate balance into their lives. The Zen
Coaching approach to life, and coaching is rooted in the timeless wisdom of
awareness, in service of inner connection for personal and collective
transformation.

Marenn loves sharing dynamic meditative enquiry practices that guide us to
connect with who we truly are. Cultivating deeper levels of presence in our
lives so we can enjoy more profound abundance and prosperity in our
personal wellbeing, relationships, communities and the planet as an
interconnected whole.
