“Natali was a wonderful guide and taught me exercises that I have not seen in my 3 years of practice”
— Ivellisse Velez

Living in harmony with nature is living in harmony with yourself. It allows your natural talents to express themselves and you experience them as your joy of service to the people around you. Understanding the interconnectedness of all life allows the highest virtues of intuition, confidence, compassion, understanding, love and simplicity to lead your life. 

This is the life of exploring infinite potential, at times daring and at time yielding. Life of constant growth, creativity and aliveness. A life lived in wisdom and elegance..

Wisdom of the Five Elements

Interactive talks with Marin Vayu is only in the SunMoon Retreat program.  

“I ve seen so many satsangs dharma talks and various lectures ( been on more than 50 retreats ) but the wisdom that Marin brought was phenomenal.
That stands out because the other stuff was all magical, but to have those talks so accessible and really brilliant wisdom is very rare. So yeah, real nugget.”
— Chris Flack - Yoga teacher from Dublin
