Lilie Perito: Retreat Founder, Yoga Teacher, Intuitive Counselor and Essential Oil & Reiki Practitioner

 

Lilie's love for yoga started on the spiritual side.  Growing up with less traditional religion she always felt a spiritual connection with nature and never really found an outlet or support.  While looking for a fitness regimen to help her with constant weight management issues she stumbled upon yoga. She immediately fell in love with the practice and the spiritual connection it provided her soul. Lilie's passion for sharing yoga with others soared and today she prides herself on offering a class full of positive energy to recharge and reconnect with mind and body all while getting a great workout in. 

 

Lilie offers a Vinyasa style class with fluid movement and core strength training.  Classes are open to all levels and she encourages those who are new to yoga to take her class for a nice variety of what Yoga can bring to your life both on and off the mat.  Meditation and essential oils are often used to enhance the mind/body experience. For those looking for a little guidance or help connecting to their divine self, Lilie also offers intuitive counseling with the use of Tarot, Oracle, or connections with the archangels. Readings and custom oil blends to help open or restore the chakra system are often prescribed.

Essen Ma'ayan: MS, MA, RTY, Internationally Certified Sound Therapist, Award Winning Visual Artist, International Kundalini Yoga Teacher

 

Her work in all facets is centered around exploring the structure and flow of patterns - their construction and de-construction. And her visual art is a concrete representation of this concept. In Sound, she creates sonic landscapes with intuitive instruments that elicit a transformational and meditative experience in her listeners. Her vocals have been described as angelic, ethereal, and other-worldly. Her sound is an eclectic mix of deep ambient tones, delicate melody infused with earthy rhythm. Essen Ma'ayan's kundalini yoga + meditation classes and training programs are centered around helping her students deepen their sense of self trust and intuitive wisdom.

Rick Batyr: Sound Medium

 

Rick is a passionate and trained musician who channels spirit through sound. He has a unique gift of capturing the essence of one’s energy and transforming it into a radically healing song.  Rick’s many years of education and experience have prepared him for where he stands today. 

 

Although he wasn’t always the “sound medium” his fans all know and love, his path always involved music.  Rick began his career by graduating with honors from Manhattan Recording Workshop.  From there he worked with major label artists as an engineer and producer.  During this time he worked in most of the top Manhattan recording studios.  Rick has composted and sold music for Spike Tv, Viacom, Def Jam and Universal Records.  On top of this, he is not only a professional drummer but also has a cymbal endorsement from SoutTone cymbals. Throughout the years his spirituality began to transcend into his music.  It all happened so organically that Rick knew this was where he was meant to be. To enjoy him music you do not have to be a spiritualist.  All you need is a pair of ears.  His music will move through you like no other.
