Singing & Yoga Retreat
May 25th – June 1st, 2025
“Music softens the heart. Quietly and without violence, it opens the door to the soul."
(Sophie Scholl)
This retreat is about energy, voice, body and breath. Singing from the flow, music ensures that you are de-stressed, out of your head and into your heart. Singing, sounding together, body work, dance, playful moving, yoga and meditation are a wonderful combination to get more in touch with yourself. Every day is dedicated to a chakra in both music and body work.
What will you learn and experience?
You will learn to use the possibilities of your own voice and to make yourself heard without fear, with an open heart and attuned to your environment.
Sacred yoga, body movements and dance will support the journey, using the power of music and frequencies in many creative, playful and joyful ways. Somatic exercises and bodywork helps to heal and rejuvenate the nervous system, using technology on sound frequencies, dynamic energy flows into the body.
Your breathing will deepen, making you feel calmer and more in touch with yourself. You will be challenged to improvise with your voice, to find a second voice, to sing a solo. Exercises with singing technique will help you to sing with more ease.
World music & spiritual music
During this week we sing contemporary, traditional and spiritual songs from all over the world. Feel the earth of Africa and the native Americans, the temperament of Spain, the melancholy of the Balkan, the deep reflection of India or the Sufis, the heavenly sounds of a Taizé song while singing. And of course the joy of some Irish songs! The music is accompanied live by guitar or accordion.
Body work, yoga, meditation
We will tune into the moment when the mind and body find harmony and joy in moving to the rhythms of the soul. You will be guided in the experience of sacred yoga and express yourself through movements and dance. The guidance will be your own resonance, attuning to the movement of the higher self. As ego gets released and the inner child awakes, creative energy and connection is attuned, creating momentum to release blockages and the energy to flow within the soul.
Teachers
This week will be offered by Martijn Nanninga (Netherlands) with a long background in music, singing, yoga and spirituality. And Mukti Love (Brazil) uniting decades of yoga therapy, psychology, body work and meditation practices.
We will be here with you every step of the way.

Note*
We are settled in an old farmhouse, ashram, and NGO. We do not offer luxury accommodation. We want to offer everyone the opportunity and the benefits our retreats bring. So please be true to yourself about whether you are happy with simplicity and eco-buildings. Joining us means embracing simplicity, and perhaps being out of your comfort zone for a little while, it will be rewarding. Do not expect high standards, but a liberating, rejuvenating, and freeing experience in pureness.
If you are not at ease with a loving-simplicity kind of accommodation this probably is not for you. If you fit the description, we are sure you will love it here and visit us more than once!
We use mostly compost toilets, we are building eco-systems on the farm. We are in a continuous work in progress, to ameliorate all the structures and installations. Our goal is to develop a self-sustainable eco-social-spiritual project.
Sunrise Farm is a non-profit organization, by joining our retreats you help to support many of our eco-socio-spiritual projects in Ireland and worldwide.
