Living Your Dharma – What the planets reveal about your purpose in this lifetime
Discover what the planets reveal about your unique gifts and deeper purpose, and how Dru Yoga techniques can help you live your dharma more fully, every day.
According to the ancient wisdom of Vedic astrology, your birth chart holds fascinating clues about your dharma – your deeper purpose, natural gifts and the path through life that is uniquely yours.
But discovering your purpose is only the beginning. How do you bring it to life? And what might be holding you back?
This special pre-Christmas retreat is designed to give you a much-needed pause at the start of December. You’ll be able to blissfully unwind after the busy-ness of the year, set your sites on your deepest purpose and what brings you greatest fulfillment – and then launch into the pre-Christmas period and onwards into 2027 with clarity and purpose.
There’s nothing like knowing that you’re on the right track to make December’s busy celebratory period feel full of glide and togetherness!
What you’ll experience…
This in-person retreat will bring you both the wisdom of Vedic astrology and the transformative power of Dru Yoga.
Each participant will receive personalised insights into their Vedic astrological birth chart, exploring the planetary influences connected with their life purpose, their unique strengths, and the planets that may offer particular support along the way. Throughout the weekend, we’ll bring these insights to life through beautiful meditations, planetary visualisations, mantra, mudra, yoga and deep relaxation.
You’ll experience The Dance of the Cosmos, a powerful flowing Dru Yoga sequence exploring the release of old patterns and karmic influences, alongside heart-opening practices to help you connect more deeply with your dharma. We’ll also look at how to move beyond obstacles, awaken our gifts and bring our thoughts, energy and actions into alignment with our deeper purpose. And, most importantly, we’ll explore how to turn spiritual insight into practical, everyday living.
With just 10–12 places available, this retreat offers a personal and supportive space to step away from everyday distractions, reconnect with what matters most and gain fresh clarity for the year ahead.
After all, your dharma is not just something to discover. It’s something to live.
