€275Inspire
spirit | food | body | mind | heart
Experience the magic of enlightened food, Tantric philosophy, yoga, meditation, and mantra in the mystical countryside of the Cathar district, Languedoc Roussillon. Inspire is a 3-day retreat into health, vitality and spirit through Tantric yoga and healthy nutrition.
Drawing on ancient wisdom from the Tantric traditions of Kashmiri Shaivism and Srividya, as well as ancient and contemporary yoga practices and the modern science of nutrition and diet with a focus on “superfoods”, we seek to provide deeply nutritious food for the body, mind and soul. Tantric yoga practices will include: meditation, mantra (chanting), Kundalini yoga, some basic asana (poses), Yoga Nidra (deep relaxation). No experience necessary. This is a “hands-on” participatory workshop aimed at giving you the knowledge and skills to take home and transform yourself and your life. We believe that spirit, food, body, mind and heart are all intimately connected. To experience contentment, fulfillment, and ultimately, bliss, we need to pay attention to what we allow into our bodies, our minds, and our hearts. When we learn to give our minds inspirational thought, our voices powerful sounds, our bodies healing food, and our spirit the freedom to pursue our passions – every single day – our hearts begin to sing, and we feel truly, alive.

Who
Cherie Aarts Coley
Ever since she was 12 years old Cherie has been intrigued by spiritual philosophy and practices. This fascination has grown into a lifelong passion; the study of scriptures, the practice of yoga in its many forms (asana, pranayama, kundalini, dharana, sadhana), and a deep interest in the healing arts. These endlessly nourishing resources converge with an active life in New York City and serves to support her family, relationships, business, creative and non-profit endeavours. Her Tantric and yogic studies are primarily focused in the realms of Srividya and Kashmiri Saivism and her primary teacher is Dr Douglas Brooks, PhD, a world-renowned Tantric scholar and practitioner. She has learned to chant mantra with Brad Roberts, the lead singer of the Crash Test Dummies and practices yoga asana at an intermediate-advanced level with experienced teachers in New York City, including Julie Dohrman and Susanna Harwood-Rubin.
Kat Hunger
Kat loves to share the knowledge she acquires during her lifelong travels and homestays in various countries like Colombia, the UK, US, Spain, Germany and France. She studied psychology at the University of Leipzig, photography in Brighton (UK) and nutrition at the Natural Gourmet Institute of New York. She is passionate about healthy living food and its beautiful presentation and has developed a successful business baking and selling nutritious sprouted wheat bread. She speaks English, French, Spanish and German, and is learning Sanskrit. Cherie and Kat collaborate on various projects and although they live at the opposite sides of the globe remain connected through a lively exchange of their studies and experiences.
