It wouldn't be fair to tell you everything you could expect in this retreat, as I do believe in spontaneity.
Like this time of the year, we have to allow for some expected things and yet relish in the unexpected. Isn't life meant to be like that?? Imagine if you could predict every day, even if it was mapped out to be completely pleasurable, and what you would deem as perfect. Sure, for a while, we would love this, and yet our nature as humans is to seek out challenge. We would become bored of the predictability and then, despite ourselves, become either discontented, which may result in being destructive of the situation, self sabotaging or depressed due to lack of stimulus, often blaming others for our discontentment. I suppose this is what Patinjali meant when he spoke of us always being in a state of suffering. We are such funny complex creatures, we want perfection, and yet we never quite seem to reach it, as we are always wanting...something else, when really it is here all the time... inside us, sometimes hidden and yet often in plane sight. This retreat will offer quiet time to reflect on those disturbances to your happiness. What winter stores do you have that you can bring out the best in you? Start the day with some gentle qigong to get the energy flowing, followed up by some yoga specifically complimentary to the Spring season. This will entail some flow and movement opening the insights of the wood element, Liver and Gallbladder. The yoga will be moderate and can always be modified to suit the individual. There will be a lovely breakfast provided in an outdoor setting to enjoy the garden and an outdoor fire will be available. After breaky we shall enjoy some chanting to assist with shifts and walk the labyrinth for courage, and also to walk everyday in gratitude. We shall then engage in some Yin/Restorative Yoga and finish ....if we have time(there's so much to fit in) with a Yoga Nidra. The warmth of the Spring sunshine will bring some light on the potential seeds within, so you can nourish them and encourage your inner radiance to arrive in a place where you feel more content with who you truly are. Om Bavan Namaha the Spiritual law of Pure Potential. 'I am Pure Potential' Unveil the dormant buds of your potential. Allow yourself to see the blooms within yourself and rise towards the sun with joy.
