Rest & Ready: a conscious New Year’s Immersion
December 30th, 2022 to January 2nd, 2023
Silence, connection, joy and devotion will be the collective intention of our time together. Allowing you to reconnect to the sacred agreement of your Soul which will remind you of your Divine intention for this lifetime, your Dharma.
Most New Year’s resolutions are rooted in the need to find the willpower to achieve a goal which is lead by a desire of the ego. This desire arises from the belief that we are not enough and our fulfillment depends on acquiring something outside of ourselves.
The Yoga tradition invites us to the sacred practice of Sankalpa, intention. This is a practice that reminds us that we are whole and already have all that we need to manifest the desires of our hearts and honor the agreements of our souls.
We invite you to join us for this Divinely guided immersion, entering the New Year consciously, restored and ready to move forward aligned with your dharma.

About Gaia
As a native Peruvian, Gaia is innately attuned to the powerful energy of the land. She is a 500 hour certified master yoga and meditation teacher, energy medicine practitioner, End of life Doula, and overall Spiritual guide who believes in the importance of a wholistic approach to self-care and healing. She shares wellness practices wholeheartedly with the intention to see the fullness of who you are beyond a physical body.
Her healing journey began 14 years ago on a yoga mat at a time where she felt nothing was “working” in her life. From the beginning, yoga practices allowed her to feel, and feel deeply, realizing how numb she was to herself and life. Her dedication to the practice awakened her intuition which lead her to explore various ancient modalities of healing. Today, Gaia is beyond grateful for not only the practices that created space for her to heal and get to know herself, but also for the opportunity to create space for others to heal and know themselves as well. She says, “Healing is not what I do, but who I am.”

Hear from past immersion participants:
“It was such a beautiful, expansive and nurturing weekend and has opened up so much space through this week, that has been full of needing creative problem solving skills. This weekend gave me new eyes and choices. I am immeasurably grateful. [speaking on her experience during our Kundalini Shakti immersion 2021]”
“Pennie is a teacher that shares this path with her heart and soul. My immersion experience was an opening up; a beautiful experience. I didn’t want it to end!”
“I loved every part of the immersion. I deeply appreciate all the time and effort put forth to create this absolutely amazing immersion. It was a life changing trip and I am forever grateful for both of you. Thank you for listening, guiding, and supporting me in every step of the way.”
“The Kundalini Shakti Immersion was spectacular! My favorite aspect of this immersion was being supported to journey so deep within myself. This experience made me feel even more connected to the other wonderful women whom I shared it with! The Kundalini Shakti Immersion has been a pivotal moment in my life. I am beyond thankful for your guidance, Pennie. ”
“Pennie’s joyous delivery of the wisdom she has gained from her commitment to daily practice is beautiful. The Himalayan Kriya practices she shared were powerful, and the wisdom talks were also so supportive and nourishing. At the end of our immersion, I felt more in touch with myself, lighter and more free... and more committed to daily practice.”
