Program & Highlights
Walk through Basundari Retreat Center
The Accomodation
Basundari provides the best environment for practicing yoga and meditating. There is a Yoga Shala and several meditation spots. Basundari also features two common pools, a café, and an upper and shared space. Next to that Basundari is surrounded by beautiful nature like rice fields and a jungle where frogs, butterflies, geckos, squirrels, dragonflies and lizards may be found. The light shines through the bamboo and coconut trees as the sun rises. The path through Basundari leads to the different spaces.
The Yoga Shala is a big open and wooded place (65m2) situated among gigantic bamboo trees near the river. When it rains, a soothing waterfall cascades down the back of the Shala. It accommodates 23 yoga mats, 40 sitting yogis, or 15 aerial yogis inside. Also the Yoga Shala has blankets, blocks, bolsters, yoga mats, cushions, straps, a white board, and 15 aerial yoga hang points.
Meditation and relaxation is possible at one of the many hanging baskets or hand-shaped place. Or at the upper space deck mounted in the tree tops with beanbags.

Sacred Cacao & Ho’oponopono Ceremony
We will drink sacred cacao from the Virunga Region. The Virunga mountain range mainly consists of volcanoes and runs through the national territories of Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Its volcanic soils are particularly rich in nutrients and the local ecosystem is one of the most diverse in the world. Virunga is best known for its mountain gorillas, which migrate through the dense jungle on the ridges of the still-active volcanoes. This cacao will build the foundation for the next step within the ceremony: The Icaro.
-
An Icaro is a healing song. There are a variety of songs each with its own unique purpose associated with a different kind of healing from a particular plant in the jungle.
The sound of an Icaro is like no other, sung in the native language of the culture using words loaded with healing intentions.
They can be used to cleanse energetic fields, to offer specific insight into a situation, to remove dark matter and more. Many Icaros are learned in solitude, by ingesting the same plant each day for a period of time, to learn its particular song and the wisdom that this plant has to offer. After we listened to the Icaro we’ll dive into the Ho’oponopono.
-
Ho’oponopono is a little known but extremely powerful self-transformation technique. Ho’oponopono originated from Hawaii and was originally taught by Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona. Morrnah was a healer and in 1983 she received a great honor by being designated as a living treasure of Hawaii. She was teaching Ho’oponopono to groups of people, hospitals, colleges and even to United Nations personnel. Morrnah updated Ho’oponopono in a way that healing and transformation process no longer required presence of any other person but the practitioner himself.
You’ll learn how Ho’oponopono works and methods for integrating into your life.
-
During the ceremony we will make physical movements to give space to the stimulated flow of energy in our body.
-
At the end of the ceremony we will listen to a few words from the late Thich Nhat Hanh, Vietnamese Thiền Buddhist monk, peace activist, prolific author, poet, teacher and founder of the Plum Village Tradition. Known as the "father of mindfulness, Nhất Hạnh was a major influence on Western practices of Buddhism.
