4 day music industry retreat
October 24—27 2024
Bamarang Bush Retreat
when was the last time you slowed down?
better yet, when was the last time you came to a complete stop?
when was the last time you spent sustained time on or within yourself?
you wake up every day and stay awake every night thinking about what’s best for the artists you support.
but when was the last time you put yourself first?
who are you serving by burning yourself out?
how can you pour from an empty cup?
we here you.
When life becomes all doing and no being, we lose ourselves in the day to day grind. We allow our happiness and sense of self to be defined by things happening around us instead of within us.
Did we close the deal, book the tour, top the charts, or save the day?
when we rely on these things for happiness,
we give our power away.
there’s a second kind of happiness.
It’s called baseline happiness—it’s the way we feel inside, irrespective of the world around us.
Vedic Meditation is a simple mental technique shown to sustainably increase happiness from within.
By providing a profound level of rest 2-5x deeper than sleep, Vedic Meditation releases deeply held stresses and strengthen our connection to that baseline happiness within, making us less susceptible to the ebbs and flows of daily life.
Rounding is an industrial strength form of meditation incorporating yoga asanas and breath work, done in succession to achieve an unparalleled state of deep rest, dig out months of deeply held stresses and accelerate the stabilization of of baseline happiness.
own your happiness
This October 23—27, give yourself permission to stop defining yourself by what you’ve done today, and let yourself just be—with yourself, with nature, and with other creative industry professionals.
Refill your cup to the brim and re-emerge with more to offer.
As they say in the air, “secure your own mask before assisting others.”
Your team and clients will be glad you did.
