(I am not the main organizer of this 3 days retreat but I will be helping to run sound journeys and sound healing on this beautiful retreat!)
In order to be fully engaged and awake to life we must first radically accept the fact that we are spiritual beings living in physical bodies. Allowing ourselves to fully arrive in this physical body, on this earth, we choose to wake to the vibrancy of the ever-present now and tap into our Natural Way of Being, one of peace, vitality and joy.
Using movement and dance meditation, deep nature contemplation, sensory awareness meditation, sound journey and vocal release work, we will have 2 days to explore and deeply connect with our spiritual selves, working from the foundations of our physical body and the natural world around us. By grounding and re-invigorating these foundations we can truly engage withour spiritual growth and our awakening consciousness.
With the beautiful location of the Big Shed as our inspiration we will use meditation in nature to connect with the natural world around us. Meditative nature connection helps us to naturally and easily turn our attention inwards, tuning the nervous system towards inner peace and stillness.
We will use dance and movement meditation, body and sense-awareness meditation and self-enquiry practice to help us truly arrive in this body and to take ownership of it. This is how we embody ourselves; how we drop out of the ego-mind and arrive more fully into the heart and into our innate joy.
We will share a sacred sound journey which will include deeply healing and emotional release voice work.
We have the opportunity to camp in order to experience the positive and grounding effects of sleeping on the earth.
Together, as a community, we will prepare and eat vibrant and fresh vegetarian food. There will be further opportunity (weather permitting!) to connect with each other round a camp fire.
Investment: £150, Concession/Early bird £120
