During our 2026 Yoga for Healing retreat, we held an open charity concert evening under the open sky of Corfu 🌿🧡

Musicians from Estonia, France, Germany, New Zealand and Ukraine volunteered their time and talent to support the Yoga for Healing initiative. We are endlessly grateful for that.

And the local Corfu community showed up too — around 100 people joined our retreat participants under the open sky for an evening of live music, warmth and connection.

Thank you to everyone who came and donated. Your support makes it possible for Ukrainian practitioners to access this programme and bring what they learn back home.

Bhakti music is devotional sound — it opens the heart, quiets the mind, and reminds us: we are not alone.

For the last 4 years, people across Ukraine have lived through challenges that affect their bodies, minds, and communities.

Individuals living under constant threat.
Families torn apart searching for safety.
Loved ones lost.

Unfortunately, this is nothing new. It is part of a cycle woven into history, normalised by those with power. People carrying unhealed pain often pass it on.

In 2024, after two long years of devastation, we set out to make a difference with one ambitious goal: to stop that cycle.

That’s why we launched the Yoga for Healing retreat in 2024 and 2025.

This year, we’re raising £20,000 to continue providing urgent support.

✨ Healing Beyond Borders ✨
ONLINE PROGRAMME 2025–2026

🌿 BEYOND THE RETREAT
Yoga for Healing the Wounds of War 2025 starts very soon. But this retreat is only the beginning.

For a while already we have been building something much bigger – a lasting online hub for yoga teachers, therapists, and healers in Ukraine, where connection, learning, and healing can continue long after the retreat ends.

THE ONLINE HUB
At its heart will be a bilingual website (English & Ukrainian) – a library of trauma-healing knowledge, tools, and expert contacts.
Your donations will directly support building and maintaining this platform.

TRAINING PRACTITIONERS
From this hub, we will train 100 Ukrainian practitioners. Over six months, they’ll join structured online workshops – combining expert teaching, peer study, and open discussions.
Your support covers the costs of translation, facilitation, and running these sessions.

TRAUMA-SENSITIVE YOGA COURSE
We will also translate and provide access to a unique, on-demand Maria Macaya’s Trauma-Sensitive Yoga course with the Rādika Foundation.
This seven-week programme, in Ukrainian for the first time, gives teachers practical tools to support trauma survivors.

BUILDING COMMUNITY
Beyond courses and workshops, we are creating a live network.
A Telegram or WhatsApp group will keep practitioners connected day-to-day – exchanging advice, sharing resources, and supporting one another.

📅 OUR PLAN (SEPT 2025 – MAR 2026)
• Launch the website and online library
• Translate and release Trauma-Sensitive Yoga in Ukrainian
• Activate the online community
• Host two first sessions (October & December)

💛 With your donation, you are not only funding retreats.
You are helping build a space where hundreds of practitioners in Ukraine can access training, resources, and community support.

🙏 Donate today and help us make this hub of healing a reality.

🌱 Seeds of Peace

Do you believe we are the makers of our own reality?
Do you believe that every action we take – every word, every gesture of kindness – plants a seed that will one day grow?

From ancient teachings of karma to the Christian wisdom of “what you reap is what you sow,” we are reminded of one timeless truth: our choices shape the world we live in.

We don’t have to wait for politicians to create peace. We are the ones who can begin, right here, right now. Every act of support, every intention to do good, is a seed of peace that will grow beyond us 🌿

→ By helping others heal, we also open the path to our own healing.
→ By supporting those who help hundreds of others, we multiply the effect of kindness.
→ By removing violence from the lives of others, we invite peace into our own lives.
→ By acting with generosity and compassion, we plant seeds for our own prosperity.
→ By working with the roots of war, we help shape peace on our planet.
→ By helping others strengthen their spiritual practice, we plant seeds for our shared wisdom and enlightenment.

✨ This is also a chance to give yoga teachers – who have spent years caring for others’ hearts and souls – the care they themselves deserve.
→ To pause, breathe, and be nurtured, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the sea, so they can return to their work replenished and inspired.

💛 Together, we can heal twice – bringing peace to others, and to ourselves.

Join us in supporting this project and help us make it possible.

Peace begins in the body. 🌿
When war uprooted their lives, Brightseeds’ co-founders, Valeria & Tetyana, found grounding and renewal through yoga. Their story is how Yoga for Healing the Wounds of War was born. ✨

✨ THE HEALING POWER OF YOGA: BREAKING THE CYCLE OF TRAUMA ✨

WHY THIS MATTERS
History books and politicians often disguise violence as something inevitable, even normal. But violence doesn’t stay contained - it spreads. Trauma lives in the body, and people who have suffered through war often carry it forward, passing on pain they never chose.

OUR RESPONSE
In 2024, after two years of devastation in Ukraine, Brightseeds partnered with AZAHAR Foundation to create a project with an ambitious aim: to end the cycle of violence. Together, we began Yoga for Healing the Wounds of War - bringing trauma-sensitive yoga, psychological support, and community connection to those who need it most.

WHY YOGA?
Yoga is not simply about exercise or flexibility. For thousands of years, it has been a practice of peace - a way to resist violence by first transforming the individual. Yoga helps reconnect the body and mind, offering survivors of trauma a chance to unlearn violence, to rediscover safety, and to plant seeds of peace within themselves.

THE SCIENCE
Modern research confirms what ancient practice has long known: yoga heals. Trauma-informed yoga has been shown to reduce PTSD symptoms with effect sizes comparable to psychotherapy or medication (Bessel van der Kolk et al., J Clin Psychiatry, 2014). In a recent WYKD survey, 91% of yoga class participants noticed an improvement in their mental health, and 70% felt less isolated with a better sense of social wellbeing.

Help bring real change to those who need it most.
