what is a HAK?

Mind, Body
& Movement

A holistic journey led by Osel Hita Torres, recognised reincarnation of Lama Yeshe. Where body, mind and soul embrace. Meditation, sound, movement, breathing and conscious eating come together to help you let go of the old and open to the new.

The HAK experience

The Habit Alignment Key (HAK) Experience is a transformative retreat created by Tenzin Ösel Hita. It combines ancient wisdom traditions like ayurveda, buddhist psychology, and sound healing to help us gain insight into our inner and outer environments. Through HAK, we can discover our intricate relationship to ourselves and the world.

The HAK Experience helps us cultivate mental flexibility, understanding, and happiness. We will transcend conventional perspectives and gain a deeper understanding of our true nature. With nourishing food, expert guidance, and powerful tools, we can align our habits with our highest aspirations. Join us for the HAK Experience and connect with your inner guru.

The habits we have

There are many constructive positive habits that we bring from childhood and habits we created that are not very helpful, even harmful, to those around us and the environment. Habits are what we repeat everyday. The more we do something, the easier it is to repeat it. The neural pathways have been reinforced, and the brain wants to keep following that well-known path.

Why traveling is important​

When we travel we have no home but ourselves. This is essential in understanding that many of our habits come from the locations, people, tendencies, and hardships that we have surrounded ourselves with. When the body is on the move, it's just us and our body. In this process, we begin to pick up new habits and change, or even abandon old habits.

The opportunity of the group

Spending time with a group of people helps to learn metaphorically and evolve together in the process of the retreat. Everyone is participating together in different activities, which boosts our desire to share, grow, and improve. We have been living in tribes for thousands of years—it is normal we are attracted to being accepted into a group. This process is called the group therapy process or HAK

Food for thought and body

We are what we eat, therefore a key factor to see a change in our perception and attitude is to consider the nutrition that our body absorbs. We must learn to feed ourselves what our body truly needs and is grateful for.

Contact activation

Dancing is the motion of our body united with the mind. We let go of what we may think that others may think, and feel free through the expression of our inner beauty, balance, health, joy, and connection with the animal within us.

Wise consumerism

Cheaper, better, healthier, less impact on environment. We must educate ourselves on how to improve our day to day basis. We consume and we create rubbish that may or may not disintegrate well into nature's womb. Nature gives us everything, we learn how to return the good graces, ensuring our children will thrive.

Applying Habit Alignment to our daily routine

Once back in our well known area of being, we jump back into our old habits. After training our mind we may be able to condition ourselves slowly, step-by-step moving into a more reasonable dynamic towards a happier and healthier life.
