Update October 2011: The management on Ratua has recently changed. We did have a nice gay man helping us, but alas he is now gone. As a result, we are having to renegotiate on everything. We are now exploring a range of options, including finding alternative locations. Revised Dates & Details to follow ASAP.
Points of Difference Events in partnership with Yoga B.C. and presenting partner Gaydar.com.au, is proud to offer a very special Gay & Lesbian Yoga & Meditation Retreat.
Discover Deepak Chopra’s Seven Spiritual Laws of Success on a tropical yoga-adventure retreat in the South Pacific. Maha Ratua is a secluded, private isle in the Vanuatu Islands, just two hours from Brisbane, Australia (3-hours ex Sydney). Join yoga-life-gurus and Chopra-certified teachers Grant Wolf and Waran Karl of Yoga B.C. as they lead a truly unique and sumptuous feast for the heart and senses that marries the warmth of the Coral Sea with the wisdom traditions of the East.
Each day honours a specific spiritual principle and its related energy centre in the body-mind (the chakras/energy wheels). With its corresponding element of nature (earth, air, fire, water, ether, silence) and their related sense (taste, touch, smell, hearing, intuition), each day’s yoga, adventure-activity and healthy cuisine are carefully cultured to this ancient wisdom - all served with modern lightness and the carefree soul of the South Pacific.
Warm the heart with a guided beach-side meditation followed by the nourishing touch of a massage in our over-the-water spa.
Savour your watery-creative-juices of the sacral chakra with a guided snorkel over pristine coral reefs followed by the tastes of fresh, French-Island cuisine.
Clear your throat and sing with native bird-call while canoeing to a cobalt blue jungle pool.
From your private, waterfront Melanesian villa, be grounded, be inspired, or simply be quiet and at peace as you absorb an experience fashioned to fulfil you on all levels of the mind, the body, and the spirit.
Grant & Waran are life-partners and the owners of Yoga B.C. in the heart of Sydney. Their extensive yoga and meditation experience includes everything from operating a full-time Hatha yoga school; working with private clients that have included CEO’s, Nicole Kidman, athletes; to those facing challenging health conditions.
They bring the wealth of their experience to the richness of this island paradise.
Long time friends with Adam Bold, Founding Director of Points of Difference Events, these two quality gay businesses are partnering to offer a relaxing, sublime and refreshing lifestyle experience.
More than a yoga retreat, this is a chance to learn and experience what it is to live in union with your soul- through the experience of the senses, the refined mind, and a body bathed in calm.
..for greatness can be graceful…and come with a tan.
