a retreat into the center of your heart
The idea for the Deep Devotion retreat came about during a recent stay at Ananda Ashram in Monroe, New York. During these couple of weeks, I was able to give my full, undivided attention to my spiritual practice for hours a day.
I did sitting meditation, kriyas and pranayama, and asana. I also participated in classes where we chanted the ancient yogic texts, studied Sanskrit grammar and pronunciation, and attended the evening fire ceremonies.
It was a very special time dedicated to exploring the Inner Life.
The Outer Life (name, job, hobbies), the one the ego identifies with, is important to function in the world, but a deep, rich Inner Life is what will nourish the soul.
The most important work we can be doing everyday is the work we do on ourselves. The more self awareness we have, the closer we come to knowing the Truth of who we really are.
Deep Devotion is an invitation to explore the Inner Life. Seven or fourteen days devoted purely to creating or deepening your spiritual practice. We will be immersed in the Finnish farm country of Northern Finland, joined by a loving and supportive community of yogis all walking down the path together.
Mornings will be for contemplation, pranayama, and asana. Afternoons will be free, allowing ample time to integrate the day’s teachings. Evenings will end with gentle, restorative yoga and devotional chanting, family style dinners, traditional Finnish sauna, and guided meditations basking in the enchanting light of the midnight sun.
Lodging will be in a beautiful, newly renovated, family owned Finnish style farmhouse situated on the Lijoki river in Akola, Finland.
The hearty, healthy, and delicious vegetarian fare will fuel the body, mind, and spirit for exploring the Inner Life.
With expert guidance in the yogic practices, you will leave with valuable insights and tools that you can apply right away.
Deep Devotion invites you on a journey into the center of your heart, where a wellspring of love resides.

Testimonial
Just finished this One Week Retreat "Yoga and Meditation Magic" with Summer Dien in Samahita Retreat Koh Samui Thailand.
For me it was not just a great experience with a lovely group of people in a nice surrounding but also a great way to learn more about Pranayama, Meditation and Asanas.
Thanks to Summer our excellent teacher for explaining even complex exercises in an easy and understandable way which helped me a lot during Meditation and Pranayama. Due to her great adjustments during asana practice I was able to improve and found a new approach to for my practice.
So if you have the opportunity to take part in one of Summer's retreats do not hesitate, it's definitly worth it.

I spent 5 days with Summer at Samahita Retreat but wished that I had another 5! Summer helped me relax into my asanas, reminded me constantly to breathe and most of all, made me rediscover my love of yoga.
