Hayley Saraswatī

Saraswatī embodies the essence of the creative Mother, balancing loving softness with a graceful strength.  Her powerful presence inspires and empowers others to step into their full potential, through vibrant authenticity and the awakening to the expansive joy of the heart.  Her work brings together the teachings of yoga, non-dualism and earth wisdom, infused with a deep reverence for life.

Guiding people from all over the world to devote time to personal transformation at The Yoga Forest, the Conscious Living Retreat she founded in 2009, Saraswatī wholeheartedly offers herself through the path of devotion; offering kirtan, ceremonies, workshops, retreats and trainings with yoga, breath work, sound healing, singing circles, dance, satsang & sharing circles. Her dedication to creating and holding a safe space allows the veils to fall away, inspiring spontaneous expression and the authentic embodiment of the Truth - all is Love.
 
Weaving together her passion for yoga, nature and the elements, her view of sustainable green living and mindfulness practice fuse into a work of deep green yoga. She loves to be in the forest with her baby Elijah Rumi, contemplating Oneness within nature while dreaming and designing landscapes of harmonious interaction, offering visions of an alternative global community for the future generations. 

 

 

Creating music and magic with her beloved partner, Jayā Saraswatī released their first album "Wave of the Heart" in 2016, a blend of mantra, heart songs and medicine music. Combining their passions of Sound and transformational work, Jayā Saraswatī are now offering 100hr Sound Ceremony Training certifications for continuing education in Sound Healing, Bhakti, Nada and Mantra Yoga each year at The Yoga Forest.

Illumination: Sound Ceremony Retreat in PERU

Imagine the majestic ranges of Southern Peru encapsulating us in a sacred cocoon so high we feel closer to the heavens. The sound all around is a deafening silence that penetrates our minds and hearts. What is left but a prayer? What is left but the reception of our own song longing to sing through us? Enter the valley within this time not only for vision quest but for a Listening Quest. Not only to receive the vision but the song and sound of our lives that is purified by our work readying us all the more to be an instrument of illumination in this world.

“I would instead dedicate my energy to establishing an eco-spiritual community. So I spent all of my savings on a piece of land a 15-minute hike from the nearest road in town with no idea about what was to unfold. All I knew was the whisper in my heart was so strong that I could no longer ignore it.“

“I was lucky enough to travel all over, and cooked for some of the world’s richest people, yet I found myself constantly yearning instead for inner riches; the peace and tranquility of the spiritual journey and a fulfilling life. This is when I met Durga.”

“Saraswati has been whispering to me for well over a year now. So sweet were her whispers that I could no longer ignore it, and I realized it was time to honor the essence of ‘The Flowing One’ in ceremony one beautiful Caribbean coastal night.”

Dark Retreat Revelations; Withdrawal of the Senses
Dark Retreat Revelations; Withdrawal of the Senses

By: Hayley Saraswati

“The darkness called. I felt a desire deep within me to find solace and space, withdrawing myself from all responsibility and contact with the outside world. A little extreme perhaps, but yogis and spiritual practitioners of various cultures since antiquity have sought dark havens of stillness such as caves for long periods of meditation and sannyas (renunciation). It was my turn for solitude.”
