Realize, Experience, and Celebrate your True Nature.
“A true, rich yoga practice is not necessarily expressed in the presentation of one's most challenging asana. It is something you can see in the face of a yogini. It is in her eyes, in the way she views the world. It is evidenced in the way she shines light towards other beings!” ~ r.r.

Clean Water for Ecuador Amazon Communities.

In the more than twenty years that US corporation Texaco conducted oil drilling operations in the Ecuadorian Amazon they dumped billions of gallon of toxic waste water and raw crude oil into unlined pits and the rivers surrounding Lago Agrio. As a result the indigenous people of the region have suffered greatly. Having to rely on contaminated wells for drinking, contaminated rivers for washing, and contaminated fish and game for sustenance, they have seen rates of cancer, and skin disease skyrocket.


In reaction 30,000 the local people have banded together filing a 27 billion dollar class action lawsuit against Texaco Chevron. While the people face an indefinite wait a verdict English activist Nicola Peel has partnered with local organizations to construct low cost, high volume water catchment systems with salvaged wood. About $100 pays for the system which will provide enough drinking water for a large family for 35 years. By coming to this retreat you will be providing enough drinking water for between eight to ten families.
