Profound relaxation and rejuvenation lie at the intersection of land and sky. In this weekend intensive, we will explore the Tibetan art of rejuvenation, also known as chulen, meaning “essence-taking.” These “rare” inner yogic methods of self-healing include meditations on the sky (space), bathing in natural springs (water), breathing (wind), and movement practices. Inner yoga, or tsalung methods, promotes longevity and life enhancement by strengthening the body’s elements, subtle channels, and vital energies.

As we are immersed in Big Sur’s natural springs and open sky, these practices will settle the body and its vital channels so that we can draw in the essence of the natural environment. Overlooking the cliffs and gazing out on the horizon will support settling into our natural awareness, stillness, and inner spaciousness, all essential for rejuvenation.

These ancient healing methods and the unique natural landscape are brought together for a rejuvenation weekend accessible to participants of all levels of experience. Classes will also include informative lectures to complement our guided meditations and yoga sessions.
