Retreat Type:
Introductory

These retreats combine introductory meditation teaching with a blend of traditional yoga and contemporary approaches to embodied movement. This playful synthesis of body based approaches to wellbeing (through meditation and movement) in the peaceful and beautiful environment of the retreat can help restore physical and mental vitality and balance in our lives. 

We will cover an introduction to two traditional Buddhist meditations as well as give a solid introduction to the principles of meditation. We will also be exploring some traditional Buddhist teachings to get a flavour of how these might be relevant to our modern lives. 

No previous experience of meditation, yoga or embodied movement is assumed so these retreats are suitable for complete beginners, but they are also a good refresher for those who already have some experience.

natural rhythms: somatic movement and walking

-
Retreat Type:
Introductory

On this retreat we will explore ways to support and increase our whole wellbeing through meditation, walking and fascia work, which is based around functional movement. The fascia work will be taught as a sensory experience, with props (balls, etc) - it is a fun somatic adventure and feels fantastic to do.

The retreat will include movement, guided walks, an introduction to Buddhist meditation and basic Buddhist teachings looked at from a practical perspective. But perhaps more importantly than all of this is the opportunity to experience ourselves away from the trappings of our everyday lives and to relax into the freedom and spontaneity of our basic relationship with our bodies and the natural world around us.

These retreats are suitable for complete beginners to meditation, and those who already have some experience.
