KUNDI KONEKTAR DAY RETREATS

I believe Konektar is a word from the Hayley Melrose Dictionary.

*“Kundi” is short for “Kundalini”, which is your powerful life force energy, a serpent-like force at the base of the spine. When the energy wakes up through dance, yoga, meditation or intimacy, it moves through stagnant energy in the chakra system, leaving you feeling cleansed, alive and full of love.

*“Connect” means to become joined, and in this series we will deeply connect to self, others, nature and the universe.

*“Nektar” is an ancient Greek word for ‘nourishment of the gods’, and we are delighting in yummy feasting and aphrodisiac mocktails.

*“Nectar” is a sugary fluid within flowers that attracts insects, animals and bees. Through this Course we will fall into more love with self, ooze honey vibes, get clear and magnetize all that we deserve with ease.

*In Hindu Philosophy, there is a flow of nectar that releases hormones from the pituitary gland, bestowing health and longevity.

*The sacred female ejaculation fluid, is also known as Amrita or The Nectar of the Goddess.

So ….on that note….we have a potent, delicious, rejuvenating Kundi Konektar Series, coming right up!

THE INTENTION

Dancing, breathing, and sounding, along with engaging and releasing the pc muscle, pumps energy around the body, helping you to release what’s not serving, and glow from within! Kundi dance for me, has been a 10 year journey, sharing with communities around the world, and it’s a practice that I experiment with on the dancefloor and in the bedroom!

I am always amazed how people’s faces and body language change, after a sensual alchemy massage, a kundi dance, or a photo shoot with me! This is why I have created this Kundi Konektar Series, that blends all the secret sauces that I live by! This is a gorgeous balance of internal inquiry and outward expression, softness and boldness.

This word Konektar has been in my awareness for many years. There is a lot of heart, intention, beauty and thought weaved into this extraordinary journey. Every Kundi Series is transformative, healing, enlivening, revealing and magical beyond words. I’m excited to go deeper into the realms of sharing my Sensual Alchemy rituals and stories also, in this immersive ‘Retreat Day’ style. The Temple of Love is a sacred place, for ceremony, movement, massage, photo’s, fun, feasting, wild expression, learning, vulnerability, realness, comfort, warmth, growth and pure love.

THE INVITATION

18 special, unique, creative, sensual explorers, a mix of men and women, will be invited into the Temple of Love, on each of the 4 Retreat dates, this Winter and Spring. What’s about to unfold is a sacred, colorful, expressive, healing journey, through Ceremony, Dress Ups, Kundalini Dance, Sensual Alchemy Practices and some Photography/Filming.

You are welcome to drop in or even better, come to the whole SERIES! The whole series is where the deep, transformative, magic is at. You will still have an amazing and powerful time, if you drop into one event, or the few events that you can make!

WHAT A JOURNEY!!

SENSUAL ALCHEMY

“I am very happy I did the Sensual Alchemy Sessions with Hayley. I’m a middle aged male and she created a beautiful, intimate, safe and liberating space for me to explore new areas of sexuality. I learnt about my body and women’s bodies, and how to really work with energy. She is in tune with the aspects of sexuality, intimacy and connection, that allow a person to expand beyond the physical, to the next level of pleasure through their sexuality. Since my sessions I’ve had multiple partners ask me about what I did with them and where I learnt it! I owe thanks to Hayley for this. She is truly unique.” Anonymous.

KUNDALINI DANCE

“Kundalini Dance means so many things to me! I love to dance, and when I come to Kundalini Dance I come to discover, to uncover, to open up, to unravel and to deeply surrender to myself and my deepest places. Not many spaces can hold these deep raw places so I am grateful for Hayley. She holds such a solid and safe container for me to explore, to dance, to dive in and to express whatever I find on the journey. To be witnessed, held, encouraged by Hayley and the family of fellow Kundi Dancers, continues to bring me into a greater depth of self love, acceptance, emotional expression and a pure joy of being alive! The magic of Kundalini Dance continues to ripple and transform my life!” Jackie Dodd

PHOTOGRAPHY

“Hayley is a powerful, embodied, creative Earth Priestess! Her work is magical and like no other. Her work goes further beyond the actual photos. It’s healing, it’s medicine. It’s hard to describe her work in words but in a nutshell my experience was fun, liberating and transformational! Before my shoot, I think I slightly underestimated how powerful it would be. But in hindsight, I now see that Hayley has a way of unlocking your true soul essence, that is deep within, but hidden away. I feel like she saw, accepted and captured THE REAL ME! Hayley created and held such an accepting, safe space for me to open up, be vulnerable, get wild and play, which is not always easy for me to do. I feel like new parts of me were discovered and old masks were released. I walked away with so much, but in particular new levels of self love, self confidence and self acceptance. I didn’t want my shoot to end, I’m in love with my photos and would do it again in a heartbeat.” Jayne Martin

In signing up for this extraordinary journey you agree to Video and Still Captures. These creations will be shared on social media platforms, in coffee table books and display exhibitions in future, on Hayley’s Website, and for future promotions. Who knows, maybe the mini film will be submitted to a Film Fest of some kind! You’re joining this journey, as you are ready to be seen. You are ready to share your powerful aliveness, truth and humanness with the world. You are aligned with the mission of healing/art footage for the world to see and be inspired by. You trust Hayley’s many years of Soul Photography experience, to create such potent, tasteful, classy, emotive, magical, visual beauty! You are aware that only some parts of the journey will be captured. You will be empowered with signals to share with Jamie and Hayley if you are feeling more internal and not wanting filming at that moment. You are aware that a lot of the footage will be focused on Hayley and the Team. You are aware you can discuss any questions with Hayley, at any point. There will be no breasts or genitals exposed. This is a new wave of energetic, educational, healing Photography and Cinema. Each evening 3-4 people in the sharing circle will be recorded in voice only, to help the narration of the Kundi Konektar Mini Film! This is going to be so special! Little video’s and stills will be shared after each event to the group and to the socials. You are all welcome to share and spread the magic!!
