Upcoming August Retreats:

Nature Nurture Nourish - Mindful Movement And Yoga
Carey Would | Weekend | 16 - 18 August
|
|
Through mindful movement and yoga - at times challenging and at times playful - we will ground ourselves into the body. Through mindfulness-based meditation, with careful, considered attention and compassion, we will explore the mind. With joy, we will immerse ourselves in nature - making simple crafts and playing games, teasing our inner child out - and perhaps find a hidden gem.

Three Treasures For Mindful Living - A Pathway To Balance
Bridget Hawkins | Weekend | 23 -25 August
|
|
In this retreat we will explore three fundamental areas of our human experience - The Three Treasures - a healthy body, a happy heart, and a clear and present mind to create an awareness of and implement techniques for harmony and balance in everyday life. This will be a relaxed retreat, incorporating blended sessions of yoga and qigong, meditation and breath work. There will be time to explore our creativity with an introduction to Neurographic drawing - a mindful automatic style of drawing developed by Russian psychologist Pavel Piskarev. The premise is that we are able to rewire our neural pathways when practising this style of meditative drawing. It is a simple, therapeutic technique which does not require artistic experience. We will also examine and practise breathing techniques and spend quiet time in reflection and meditation in nature which will include forest bathing.

Relaxation: Opening And Relaxing The Heart And Mind
Pippa Cope | Weekend | 30 August - 1 September
| |
|
Everybody experiences tranquillity from time to time, because this open quality of mind is natural to us all. Yet, often our bodies and minds tighten and freeze to life’s challenges and stresses, even though creative solutions and expansive ideas are most likely to arise from a relaxed state. Healing Relaxation - designed by the late Akong Tulku Rinpoche, a wise Tibetan Buddhist healer - is a simple, highly practical, yet profound programme which helps people repair the strains and tensions resulting from the conditions of modern life and prevents them from developing in the first place. Relaxation and awareness practices can enhance our ability to access calm, expansive states of mind intentionally throughout our day.
