One Yogi, One Tree
The 'One Yogi, One Tree'
Karma Yoga Project
Is An Effort To Cultivate
Selflessness, Compassion and
Help Raise The Vibration Of Our Planet
(One Tree At A Time) ;)
Each Yogi Contributes To One Tree
Being Planted On Planet Earth!
Inspired By My Recent Travels
To Auroville In India,
I Got The Chance To Meet Aviram Rozin,
The Founder Of Sadhana Forest
To Make This Dream A Reality!
Sadhana Forest Kenya is a vegan organization focused on the creation of long-term plant-based food security in Samburu County, northern Kenya, through the planting of indigenous, drought-resistant, food-producing trees.
These trees that grow edible fruits, nuts and leaves are planted around Samburu homes. The Samburu people suffer from recurrent droughts, severe malnutrition, and a strong dependence on foreign food aid. In 2014, with the support of the United Nations Development Program, we constructed a training center for local people and a large tree nursery on our 11 Hectares (27 acres) of land and started creating a demonstration indigenous food forest. Since then we have been planting small food forests with the Samburu around their homes.

The Retreat will be hosted by Tara, a Yoga Teacher on a spiritual journey, travelling wherever her inner voice tells her to go and sharing light with any soul who crosses her path.
"Everyone has their own unique perspective of what a spiritual journey is
influenced by the knowledge and experiences they have gathered until now.
To me a spiritual journey is a process of letting go of who you are not, discovering who you are and being your Self.
As you begin to let go of who you are not, you come into alignment to who you are. This comes with a tremendous sense of freedom and power. It feels like you are no longer a slave to your mind. Suddenly, things that used to trigger you seem to lose it's effect. Not needing anything from the external to feel love, joy or peace.
Because, now you know that everything comes from within.
And it has always been there... "

"I experienced my inner soul's calling to focus more on inner work and to continuously take on the spiritual path as a compass to find my purpose in the worldly life. The yogi's path truly resonated with my heart and its principles and core values are something that I will continuously work on to improve my Self. I will recommend this to any yogis be it a beginner or an experienced yogi as it gave me the inner wisdom to bridge the gap between the 2 worlds - my worldly affairs here on Earth and the spiritual world. I learnt about the yamas and niyamas in depth along with the traps a yogi will face in this worldly life. I found that the niyama surrender to God / Self and teachings on faith to awaken the Inner Guru are the two most important things i should focus on in my life. Ultimately faith in Inner Guru will lead us to surrender to the Higher Power.. The infinite.. To Grace! I learnt to speak my Satya (truth) at all times with kindness and compassion.. To hold space for yogis during our spiritual circles, to practice Ahimsa to all beings and this was best practiced through my meeting with the spiritual dog, Mimo and peace cat, Shanti at Tevana House Reef... Also at the Eco Villa i stayed where sometimes small insects fly in but the idea is to practice 'being one with all' and not kill them. I learnt how to continuously give more to others by ensuring my cups are first filled up.. Saying "No" to others in order to say "Yes" to my Self as Tevana House Reef owner, sea woman, Nori puts it.. Additionally I learnt how to protect my energy from leakage, to constantly remind myself of the Yogi's Human Mask - the Ego and a Yogi's Divine Mask
- the Spiritual Ego to minimise both types of Ego in our daily lives... most importantly I learnt how to face my fears of water which is life changing for my life... Doing things I never thought I could do like floating in a water cave to meditate... The list is endless but these are my important takeaways from this retreat. I learnt to feel more complete, contented and happy in the Here and Now through a personal mantra that was given to me by Yogi Lina. And I learnt to appreciate my personal manipuraka power (solar plexus chakra power) which is ever ready to walk on the spiritual path.. There were just so many lessons but one other that I worked on tremendously on this retreat is the forgiveness virtue - to learn to forgive others, myself and all souls from our past / soul contracts across all time, dimension and space to remove obstacles or hindrances in my current life.. It was all perfectly organized and everyone cooperated closely to finish the programme. Special thanks to our Sea woman, Miss Noortasha Devi, for the sharing of the recipes and herbal tea knowledge during our tea meditation and cooking workshop. Thank you so much for serving us all with a very healthy, delicious and soulful vegan meals
to prepare our body, mind and soul to absorb Lina's teachings. It was essential for our retreat. I pray and wish that the Universe will get me to come back again for the next retreat!

For me personally, it was a life changing experience. All the elements, the design of the whole retreat guided me to reflect upon myself and my situation and helped heal me a lot. I am really thankful I was a part of this retreat. I can highly recommend it to anyone who wants to work on him/herself, wants to sort out their life or anyone who is experiencing a difficult time in their life. I learnt so many things this week. Especially the Philosophy and theory teachings paired with chats and personal sharing sessions were extremely helpful to me. I learnt a few strategies and supporting techniques for self-reflection and daily life practices to bring more balance, grounding and alignment into my life. I felt that the small group of 8 person was perfect.

From this retreat, (and it's my first ever retreat) is so magical! From the Tevana resort, all the yogis, Nori (the owner of Tevana) and Lina I met, food I had and the surrounding nature is all so magical and unforgettable. I have fallen in love with the ocean, beautiful villas, beautiful skylines, sunrises, sunsets, home cooked vegan food with love and the brand new adventures I look forward to everyday! I learnt to not have any expectations, that "I Am Here Now" when I meditate, to accept and let go, to show gratitude everyday. The kundalini yoga helped/taught me to release the tension in my body. Highly recommend it to everyone! You will not regret it.

To be honest I did not had any expectations, I just wanted to join this retreat with an open mind and now I can say it was one of the best experiences in my life! I would recommend it for every person - it does not matter what gender, age or lifestyle. I learned a lot about myself and finally found the answers I was looking for. I learned new techniques on how to be more aware and live a life in the present. I have the feeling I can make decision more easily as I found out how to trust myself and feel complete. I also learned interesting facts about different cultures as our lovely group came from all around the world :) We had a perfect schedule, it was a perfect mix of yoga, meditation, workshops and delicious food. Thank you so much Lina! You are a wonderful person and you inspired me to always give my best!! It would be great if we had the option to extend for 1 or 2 extra days without any courses for those people who would like to discover Bira and relax in the wonderful Tevana house.

I would recommend this retreat for a spiritual experience. The program is carefully curated from the retreat location, food, kundalini yoga to philosophy classes. I learned about Kundalini Yoga for the first time. And I learned more meditation method especially the powerful 'I Bless Myself' meditation. Please try to include more physical activities to stay active to sweat (natural endorphins) as much with the meditation and philosophy classes.
F.A.Q
- 1Can I join this retreat if I have never practiced yoga before?
Yes, it is the perfect place for you to begin your yoga journey! This retreat will provide you with the fundamentals of yoga so that you can begin to practice yoga properly, safely and experience the maximum benefits of yoga (mind, body and spirit). The retreat is suitable for everyone (from beginners to advanced yogi practitioners) - 2Is the retreat suitable for pregnant women?
Yes, most of the activities are very gentle in nature (Meditation, Breathwork, Yin Yoga, Yoga theory). Modifications for some of the postures will be provided. However, you will need to consult your doctor first as every pregnancy is different. Also ask yourself and listen to your heart, if you feel safe and confident come join us! It will be a great experience for you and your baby.

What is a spiritual journey? It is a religious practice?
A spiritual journey is a journey inwards to discover who you are and become the best version of yourself. It is not a religious practice but rather a practice of mindfulness, inner silence and self exploration. We welcome everyone here :)
- 4
What do I need to bring for the retreat?
If you have a yoga mat, bring it along. If you don't have one, let us know and we can provide you with one. You can also bring your favourite pen and journal if you wish to write.

How long does it take to travel from the airport to Tevana?
It takes 5 hours to reach us at Tevana so be sure to pack a small meal and enjoy the scenic road to Tevana. Don't miss the Salt Farms, Paddy fields and the Traditional Houses on stilts along the way. Airport group pick up can be arranged, just let us know your flight details.

What if I missed the retreat due to last minute unforeseen circumstances? Will there be any refunds?
There will be a 90% refund before 31st August 2019 and 50% refund before 15th September 2019. Space is very limited so any last minute cancellation will not allow us enough time to find replacements. Please let us know early if you can't make it so that we may open the space to others.
