Everyday,  we rise with the sun and  and live in solar-lunar rhythm.  

Shiva will offer mandala of prana flow classes including Ritual 108 Yoga Mala, Prana Mandala Flow, Surya and Chandra, Sun and Moon Namaskars aligned with our Angkor Wat journeys to the Solar and Moon Temples, for a truly extraordinary New Moon  Equinox Pilgrimage.

You will emerge rejuvenated and connected to new friends on the path. 

You will participate in a sacred sunrise ritual process at Angkor Wat, aligning your experience with one of nature's most powerful energetic shifts.

This will be a deeply immersive experience, connecting you to the ancient wisdom of this sacred site and the universal energies of renewal and rebirth.

A special highlight of this unique offering is a journey to Kbal Spean (1000 Lingam Source River) on the New Moon (March 19th), where you will participate in a New Moon Ritual at Waterfall Healing in Kbal Spean. This pilgrimage offers an unparalleled opportunity for purification and energetic renewal, with flowing waters considered highly potent for cleansing and activating the chakras. This sacred journey will set the foundation for the deeper work leading up to the Equinox.
