~ OPENING THE HEART
~ CLEARING THE MIND
~ AWAKENING INTO WONDER .…………
I am super excited to have the opportunity to host Clive here in Nelson at the end of October, 2021.
It has been close to 20 years since I last spent a month with Clive and Miranda in an Ashram in Rishikesh, India.
To have a Yoga Teacher of his caliber visit us here in NZ is an opportunity not to be missed!
Clive’s first journey overland hitch-hiking from Europe to India in 1966 was the beginning of a lifetime’s quest for spiritual truth.
His exploration into all aspects of Hatha Yoga, with particular focus on the precious art of pranayama, opened his heart to the radiance of Mother Nature, and Her sacred presence as Devi, the Divine Mother.
The inspirational and enlightening teachings on self-inquiry into our true inherent nature, introduced to him by his wild and uncompromising mentor/guru whom he met in the late 1980’s in West Bengal, added spice to Clive’s subsequent teachings that he shares in many parts of the world. His uniquely “transformative cocktail” has matured through the seasons into an inspirational sharing of Hatha Yoga sadhana, together with a very direct yet loving approach to self-inquiry into the illusory make-up of the ego persona.
He further inspires us to awaken to the divine Devi in all our hearts, the potent feminine principal Shakti at play within the universe.
As Mother Nature, She is everywhere!
Clive adds:- “self-inquiry is the Shiva, and devotion the Shakti within us, with Hatha Yoga the ‘means’ to access our bliss”..
For the past 20 years, & together with his delightful partner Miranda, Clive lives in the hills of the Northern Rivers in NSW, Australia, where they have planted - & are still planting ! - a rain forest garden on their land.
In "normal times", Clive spends the year gardening, writing poetry, and sharing his teachings on workshops & intensive retreats in Europe, India, Japan & Australia.
The weekend workshop is suitable for all levels of Yoga friends, with a daily balance of asana & pranayama practices, together with a Satsang sharing of self-inquiry that lovingly challenges our assumed reality !
Miranda assists Clive in the asana sessions, with her strong yet sensitive adjustments.
Friday evening will be an introduction to what is shared on the w/e.
This will be Clive's first workshop in NZ and hopefully a regular annual event!
