On this sacred pilgrimage to the 9 Planetary Temples, located within a radius of 60km in Tamil Nadu, we will come in deep contact with the 9 cosmic forces and explore them using the tools of homeopathy as well techniques of Inner Alchemy and the inner journey: Mantra, Yantra and Tantra.
The 9 forces are reflected in the gemstones that are worn or taken as homeopathic preparations in India to support the inner journey. On our retreat, we will conduct homeopathic remedy provings of the 9 sacred stones and learn their medicinal power through our shared experience of creating our own healing remedies.
Two nice ways to prepare for the retreat: Reading Nine Designs For Inner Peace by Sarah Tomlinson (available on amazon and other good book shops everywhere) and taking the Nine Planet Yoga Class HERE.

STAY TUNED
*A note from Sarah: A portion of your payment will go towards supporting the teachers in India. Rather than give to charities that I have no connection with, I have chosen to include and work with Seema Johari, the daughter of my teacher Harish Johari, during this retreat. This woman is a force! We are fortunate to have their darshan (presence and blessings) and I am happy to be able to give back to their family and legacy.
