9-WEEK INTEGRATIVE SELF-INQUIRY
[ ONLINE CONTAINER ]
Over a 9-week period, we will experientially and creatively explore the seven major energetic centres of the body through the Deviná Self-Inquiry™ methodology.
The methodology synthesises:
• herbal medicine
• meditation + embodied awareness practice
• creative + integrative arts-making
• yoga + mantra + mudra
• land based ceremony
Through the duration of our time together, we’ll explore how each of the energetic centers are currently being expressed. Each will be somewhere on a spectrum of under active – over active. Through our synthesised, tailored methodology, you will be supported to bring each into balance.
A 9-week experiential, embodied journey of living yoga
Less talk, more embodiment.
This space is for those who have experienced — in moments fleeting or extended —
a sense of pure awareness, oneness or interconnectedness and are
ready to live in this awareness in ways that are more embodied and enduring.
You can experience peace
in the mountains,
in your solitude by the lake,
in the quiet of meditation…
but how about…
in moments of conflict?
in the everyday mundane?
during times of great change & uncertainty?
Now more than ever, your inner peace is needed.

SEASONAL RETREATS & CEREMONIES
DEVINÁ AUTUMN EQUINOX RETREAT
A weekend to begin again.
March 20 – 22, 2026
We are approaching an ending and a new beginning. This Autumn equinox is an opportunity to release the old to start anew. Supported by seasonal and planetray alignments, the equinox is a time of crossing thresholds. As equal day and night approach, we are being supported to establish more balance in our lives. To consider with intention, what needs to be released in order to begin the next solar cycle lighter, with more clarity, purpose and direction.
Transitioning out of the year of the wooden snake and into the year of the fire horse, we are being supported into a final opportunity to shed to create more balance and harmony in our lives.
This 3-day journey is an annual opportunity to come together in ceremony, song, prayer and celebration as we release to enter the new 12-month cycle with renewed clarity, focus and direction.
A time of deep rest and reset
we consider the final sheaths to be shed
To begin anew— lighter, clearer, aligned in direction.

Departure
Deviná Retreats are seasonal immersions that invite you to step away from daily life and return to what is essential — presence, clarity, creativity, and connection. Each retreat is woven through the Deviná methodology of meditation, creative inquiry, somatic practice, song, and ceremony, in alignment with the wisdom of the turning year.
You may choose to attend any single retreat — to gather the medicine of the moment — or combine them as part of a 12- month continuous journey
Deviná Autumn
The Art of Letting Go
In autumn, Deviná supports us to shed what no longer serves and release what may be limiting our evolution.
Deviná Autumn teaches us the sacredness of endings — how to surrender what was, so that space is created for the new.
Deviná Winter
The Deep Root
Now lighter, we are guided into the stillness and silence of winter, supported to move further into the roots of our being. In these depths, void of light and distraction, we come to know ourselves beyond the world of the changing.
Deviná Winter anchors us in the strength, stability, and clarity of being — the foundation for all awakening.
Deviná Spring
The Joyous Rising
From the depths of being, Spring lifts us into the light and warmth of the growing sun, where we come to know ourselves in relation to the whole. As the creative force moves freely through us, we become authentic expressions of life itself. Aligned with evolution rather than ego, our creativity flows effortlessly in service to the whole.
Deviná Spring invites us to breathe life into our becoming as divine expressions of nature’s creative force. We learn to water the seeds within — our own and each other’s — not only as our birthright, but for the fundamental role they play in the great weaving of all things.
Deviná Summer
The Offering
In the height of summer, when the days are long and the sun’s warmth ripens all that has grown, we are invited to step into the fullness of our being. Summer is the season of flowering and fruiting — when what we’ve nurtured through the darker months blooms into expression and can be shared in celebration with life.
Deviná Summer supports us to embody our highest creative expression with courage and joy, offering the fruits of our labour not only for ourselves but in service to the whole. As we connect with our inner fire, any lingering doubts or fears are transmuted, leaving only the essence of our being — whole, generous, and nourishing to all. In this exchange — to give and receive through the soul’s expression — we come to know the joy of living in sacred reciprocity.
Deviná Retreats are for those who feel the call to return to what is essential — a deeper connection with themselves, with nature, and with community. They are for seekers, creators, and practitioners ready to journey with the wisdom of the seasons, to trust and surrender to life’s unfolding, and to slow down and simply be. They are for the ones longing for clarity and inner peace, for the courage to share their gifts even when afraid of being seen, for the freedom to move beyond the mind’s limitations, and for the belonging of a truly kindred community.

Active Music Meditation– promoting stress relief, relaxation and presence
(with Miles de Carteret)
Brain entrainment through rhythm and repetition.
When the nervous system is down regulated, and the vagus nerve is activated, we have access to flow state and spontaneous creative emergence. By shifting the autonomic nervous system away from a “fight or flight” (sympathetic) state towards a “rest and digest” (parasympathetic) state this simple music practice is designed to help you calm the mind, release stress, and return to presence. This process increases vagal tone, which reduces stress, lowers heart rate, and promotes calming, anti-inflammatory responses.
You’ll be guided through repetitive exercises that gently bring the breath into rhythm, anchoring you in the present moment. With Miles’ guidance, you’ll be supported to find creative freedom on your instrument, as playing becomes natural and effortless Building both confidence and competence. These sessions are visual, intuitive, and accessible to all levels. Offered in-person (Bali, Indonesia) and online.
For anyone wanting to connect more deeply with music as a way of relieving stress, quieting the mind, and cultivating presence.
Those who want an alternative approach to learning music that is intuitive, enjoyable, and easy to understand.
- A foundational intuitive understanding of music theory
- 1:1 intuitive music sessions tailored to your level and instrument
- Weekly play-along recordings and exercises designed to slow brainwave activity, guiding you toward alpha–theta states (associated with flow, relaxation, and deep focus)
- Chords and progressions tailored to suit your individual needs
- Sessions are 60 minutes Online via Zoom
- Investment: $150 per session
