Sacred Beauty Immersion in Brazil

Event Information

Join Linda Burnham and Subagh Kaur on a one-of–a-kind, utterly transformative, regenerative journey to Brazil.

Why Brazil?

Because in the 90’s, I began a love affair with Brazil and it’s people that still makes my heart skip a beat. Brazil has wildly warm and contagiously bright-hearted people. It has been over 10 years and the deep spirituality, the gracious warmth of friendships, the breathtaking beauty and oh yes…the food… are enticing me back to Brazil.

WHERE and WHAT we’ll experience?

The trip will begin by arriving in Sao Paulo. We will spend the first 5 days at Prana Prana – a kundalini yoga center in the mountains just outside Sao Paulo. The yoga center’s owner/director, Subagh Khalsa, is a dear and remarkable friend, and a master teacher of kundalini yoga. Her center will host us – house us, feed us delicious vegetarian/raw fare. We will be introduced to this rare and powerful form of yoga as we allow ourselves to melt into the heart of Brazil and catalyze the deep resurgence of our own beauty. The second 5 days, we will journey to the beach – a gloriously beautiful ocean front town called Ubatuba.

  • Ten days… to melt into the heart of Brazil and catalyze the chemistry of change within you
  • Ten days… to begin to unleash beauty from deep and sacred parts of your soul
  • Ten days… to open your senses to the beauty of exotic lands – the country of Brazil and the landscape of your Self
  • Ten days… to nourish body and soul, heart and mind, dreams and desires
  • Ten days… to give to your Self

We will Unleash Our Sacred Beauty…

Catalyzing the Chemistry of Change within and without

In the morning and afternoon classes, we will focus on how we connect, communicate, commune, and contact our inner and outer worlds and find new ways to expand our abilities.

We will be in connection with our selves and each other through the Rejuv Touch, heightening communication with our bodies through WiseBody Therapeutics, building communion within our selves deepening the flows between body and spirit, catalyzing and stabilizing the contact with our truest, wisest, most infinitely beautiful selves and then walking freely into the rest of our lives.

About Linda Burnham

Linda Burnham In the early 70’s, as the apprentice of an extraordinarily gifted herbalist and healer, I was catapulted into the world of alternative and spiritual healing. In the 80’s, a group of us co-directed a teaching-retreat center in the Berkshires where I became the principal teacher of the Body Systems for our Training Program for Healers. As my understanding and experience grew, I created and taught two distinct systems for bodywork practitioners: Burnham Systems WiseBody TherapeuticsSM and Burnham Systems Facial RejuvenationSM. After we closed the center at the end of the 80’s, I became a doctor of naturopathy blending more traditional approaches to diagnosis and treatment with my own intuitive professional expertise.

Throughout my life, I have had the privilege of teaching and training other professionals nationally and internationally to use my work to enhance their practices. In 2004, I had the opportunity adapt the techniques I created and used to train professionals into a beautiful book for personal use: The Natural Face-Lift: A Facial Touch Program for Rejuvenating Your Body and Spirit, published in the US, UK, and Germany.

As we enter a new decade, I continue to do all aspects of my work with a greater emphasis on what ‘tastes’ good to me on all levels. The Internet has facilitated my love of researching cutting-edge nutritional and energetic products to use with my naturopathic clients and for myself. With the advent of Skype, I have an international “phone” consultation practice. These sessions have focused my work as a lifestyle nutritionist and an energetic healer using a unique Chakras in Consciousness perspective. When I teach, the heart of the work is to increase our ability to rejuvenate and regenerate spiritually and practically. Traveling to see places and people I love increases the richness of the class for students and allows for new epicurean journeys. When students and clients travel to New Mexico, I have the pleasure of including the tang of green chili into their journey of regeneration.

About Subagh Kaur Khalsa

My yoga practice has been my “treasure” for the last 30+ years. I discovered Kundalini Yoga after “window shopping” through Hatha Yoga back in the days when yoga wasn’t a mainstream event.

I moved to Brazil in 1986 from my native USA together with my husband, a Brazilian healer, and our daughter then a toddler. We began 2 yoga centers and a healing clinic and started training Kundalini Yoga teachers. Two children later, and with a personal recognition for the transformation leap that natural childbirth can provide a woman, I began teaching Conscious Pregnancy courses.

The last five years I have been student of Karam Kriya, a system of “seeing life through the numbers and the numbers through life”. Instead of being a philosophical numerological study, Karam Kriya is the arena to begin asking essential questions and working with your mind to move beyond the mind games to a life of congruency of values and action.

Through the years I find myself going deeper into meditation as there doesn’t seem to be anything more profound in life than to be present in my breath, present in my word and present in my actions.

I feel grateful to be a partner in hosting this retreat with Linda. I plan to share with you lots of yoga, pranayama, meditation and healing gong experiences. I look forward to sharing our inner beauty, surrounded by the natural beauty of Brazil and enjoying our time together saying “yes” to life!
