Samahita’s purpose as a physical space it to help pioneer the retreat center that gives clean, modern conveniences at high standards of hospitality and deliver authentic and genuine practices that help to both empower and transform people without any attached dogma.
Further, Samahita is a vehicle for teaching and a place for transformation based on the combination of practices, environment, nature, food, and the community of people.
We care about your well-being and know from experience and up-to-date scientific research that health, growth, and transformation cannot be served up with passive involvement but rather stimulated in you through mutual effort. We provide:
- a setting with infrastructure
- a dedicated environment
- a set of tools and techniques with instruction
- a support structure through diet and relaxation
so you can step up and participate in your own transformation, growth, and opening.
Though a suite of practices and techniques are offered, at the heart the aim is to care – care for others, care about what you do, care about how you live. This causes mindfulness but from a kind and compassionate heart center. It truly is an inner development, a refinement of our behavior and inner process.
Work and development of the breath is essential to this process, both while doing asana and as a practice of itself. This work with the breath ultimately clears the nervous system and removes impurities. It is essential to practice.
