Find Your Tribe

Below is the story of one woman’s journey to find her tribe, a group of people who support her highest vision of life and living;
“I had been visiting, volunteering and hosting Yoga and holistic healing retreats in the south of Spain at a resort called Suryalila since 2018. After my ‘Align & Restore’ retreat at the end of August this year, I decided to make a relocation there with my beautiful 3 and a half year old son BodhiKai.
The motivation for the shift in our living environment was for BodhiKai to join the children at “Escualita De Olivas” aka the ‘little school amongst the Olive groves’. It is a classic Montessori and Forest School, based on free play. The school was created by three families of the staff members at Suryalila
BodhiKai had spent accumulated weeks, and even months, at the school since he was a mere 6 months old, me by his side as he ate sand and rolled in the dusty, clay earth you often find in Andelucia.
So now we find ourselves living in a small village just 10 minutes drive along a dusty, dirt road to BodhiKai’s daily playground. The kindness, softness and patience that I have experienced in this magical school is like a daily meditation, when I was privileged enough to watch from under a tree as the children played.
‘Ahimsa’, non violence is a strong yoga principle I honour and live my life by. This school follows the ethos of ahimsa and all the laws of nature. I feel happy knowing BodhiKai is there and his emotional body is always respected and nurtured. I truly believe the world would be a better place if children were treated consciously, – “our children are the future”.
Living here, I feel soft in my body and heart. I feel supported and held by the community that surrounds me; the parents, the staff at the resort, the guests that come, everyone is doing self- enquiry so the healing frequency is high and sensitive!”
