POLAND - Divine Sound Detox
"It was the kind of week money can't really buy. Hard work & spirituality - And so much laughter. The week completely flew by (even for someone like me who can't touch their toes) and for as much as I wasn't a grade A student, I do feel like something shifted. I really can't thank you both enough for looking after us all so well. Its a week I shall cherish for ever more."
“The Gong is the first and last instrument for the human mind, there is only one thing that can supersede and command the human mind, the sound of the Gong. It is the first sound in the universe, the sound that created this universe. It’s the basic creative sound. To the mind, the sound of the gong is like a mother and father that gave it birth. The mind has no power to resist a gong that is well played.”
-Yogi Bhajan
The Experience
Take a journey into the extraordinary power of sound healing in the beautiful Polish mountains of Beskid Maly this June. If you want to switch off, detox from daily life & connect with nature, there is no better place. Surrounded by eight acres of untouched paradise which is guarded by the spirit of the forest, this is the ultimate space to recharge your batteries & rewire your nervous system whilst bird song & breathtaking views nourish your soul.
Rebel Retreats are very excited to share this unique location & deeply restorative programme, allowing you to let go & connect deeply with yourself, through yoga, sound & special, detoxing ceremonies. Enjoy walks in the forest & sunbathe in the hills, whilst staying in eco-friendly, reclaimed log cabins. Experience a traditional sweat lodge to deeply detoxify, a sacred, shamanic sound ceremony, plus daily Kundalini yoga & meditation, delicious vegetarian food, daily gong baths & more.
Your Home
There are three cozy wooden log cabins, located on the southern, beautifully sunlit hill. Each cottage can sleep 4 people and has a bathroom with shower, a fully equipped kitchenette and a wood burning stove. Outside there is a table for you to enjoy the spectacular view.
Each eco-friendly cottage includes:
Ground floor open plan living room with double sofa bed, kitchen & bathroom.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms – one with two single beds, another with one double bed.
You can also stay in the hall which has 3 shared bedrooms with a shower room & 2 toilets.
"The KR retreat in India exceeded all my exceptions, Lucy and Maree put so much love into hosting us. I found myself in the company of an incredible group of kind and support people, we were able to step out of our lives for a moment and come back renewed and invigorated."
Nourish
Food, nourishment, a little indulgence and a lot of enjoyment is very important for the Kundalini Rebels.
Each day you will be served delicious vegetarian food. We like to serve a breakfast of fresh fruit with yoghurts, seeds, homemade breads with an array of organic homemade jams and the best cottage cheese we have ever eaten!!! Lunch will be a hearty meal and supper is lighter to enable you to get the most out of your sound experience.
There will be unlimited teas, water and fruit to snack on during the day.

'Lucy and Maree set the foundations for what instantly evolved as a truly extraordinary week. I arrived feeling exhausted and anxious about not knowing anyone and being new to the Kundalini practice. I left India physically, emotionally and spiritually rejuvenated, feeling very grounded and relaxed. Lucy and Maree are excellent hosts, relaxed and informal yet consummate professionals working tirelessly to ensure the needs and desires of their clients are met. I would book again.’
Lucy has been teaching Kundalini Yoga and meditation for 5 years and trained with the Karam Kriya yoga school in London and Portugal. Other training includes Carolyn Cowan’s Mastering the Addictive Personality. Lucy is also a qualified Starchild yoga teacher. She is passionate about the power of sound and has trained with Mark Swan and Tone of Life in gong therapy and singing bowls.
