Ashram & Holistic Retreat Centre, Glastonbury,
UK
Shekinashram is an ashram and holistic retreat centre with a difference.
Based in Glastonbury, Shekinashram offers B&B
accommodation, daily
morning
puja, kirtan and meditation, organic
vegan lunches, sauna,
complementary
therapies, meditation
room hire, weekly
groups, and courses.
It is a place of retreat
and celebration,
both peaceful and dynamic, the ambience here is homely, relaxed, grounded
and is focused on living consciously, peacefully and truthfully. This is
a place to take rest, reflect and journey deeper into your spiritual practice.
As a spiritual community, Shekinashram is a western evolution of an
ancient tradition where sacred
space is created away from the world where individuals come to both cultivate
and draw upon spiritual sustenance. The ashram is run by Elahn and Radhe (Gisela),
and a devoted group of local volunteers.
There is a friendly, devotional
atmosphere where work is treated as meditation and selfless service is used
as a spiritual practice.
Elahn's work includes running bhakti yoga evenings and bhajan groups, facilitating
Enlightenment Intensives and detoxification retreats,
and he regularly teaches Reiki
courses from the perspective of awakening,
returning to our true state of loving consciousness.
Radhe's primary focus is studying and teaching medicinal plant alchemy
as a way of communing with the Divine.
Along with Elahn she manages the ashram, plays bhajans and runs bhakti groups
and retreats.
