A retreat expanding our horizons through language: opening to the wisdom of the body and integrating our heart and head. Each move in tai chi is a metaphor. The structured forms provide an inspiring backdrop for the creation of rhythmic patterns with words. Tai chi, writing & poetry have much in common: form, structure, sensitivity and a striving towards wholeness. Clouds like thoughts come and go; inspired by the surrounding mountains, lochs & sky, we will combine writing with movement and mindfulness for our own wellbeing and for all living beings everywhere.
This week of tai chi, writing and meditation will trace our intimate relation to each other and our earth – with an overall theme of “painting rainbows”, bringing colour to our bodies and imagination. Whatever arises from our practice we will use to play with the reality of our interconnectedness – write about it and share our stories.
No experience of meditation, writing or tai chi is necessary, the retreat is suitable for beginners as well as those with more experience or who wish to refresh their practice in any of these areas. For more information, read the retreat information sheet.
