VANAM RETREAT
BLUE MOUNTAINS
23RD - 25TH JUNE 2023
Join Lana and Jason for this weekend Yoga Retreat
in the beautiful Blue Mountains
Enjoy nourishing whole foods, daily Yoga practices, guided meditation, free time in nature, a solar-powered hot tub, and an opportunity to enjoy quiet space with friendly, like-minded people.
Situated on 40 acres of native bushland and home to a wide variety of native birds and other wildlife, Vanam Retreat is a living, breathing home. Built with natural materials including straw bales, cob, recycled timbers and earthen renders, this contemporary, architecturally-designed and hand-crafted home was built using ancient building principles applied in a modern context.
VANAM is a Sanskrit word that means sacred forest, beautiful garden or cluster of lotus flowers. But it is more than just a garden. It is a sacred space where yogis of old would gather to do their practices. There is an implication of wildness to this word. Something mystical. In Sanskrit language the root Van has other connotations - longing and desire (for spiritual growth), abundance, and a sacred ‘abode’. -Katie Manitsas
