Healing Movement

A transformational 3-night retreat with Greg & Julie. 

Life is movement.

Everything is in a constant state of change, of movement.

The seasons, weather, plants, trees, the animals, ourselves and everything else exists in the perpetual and interconnected dance of physical form. The interplay of yin and yang within the harmony of the Tao, of life.

Our dance, however, has become awkward and stilted. A disharmony caused by the conditioning of others and the traumas and pains of the past. The movement of our mind and body becoming habitual. To move differently reveals and releases these stagnant mental, emotional and physical patterns of behaviour, allowing our dance of life to become fluid and balanced, as it was intended to be.     

This retreat will help you to move freely in life – to let go of the past and open to the joy of the present. To allow the energy within to flow naturally and harmoniously. 

Specifically, we will:

• Investigate and practice tai chi and chi kung in a new and exploratory way. Identifying and letting go of the hidden, unconscious traits that are restricting our movement through life. Helping the body – mentally, emotionally and physically - to remember the peace and ease of its natural state of being.
• Connect with the spirit within that is free of all burdens.
• Explore and deepen into the liberation of meditation.
• Learn how to bring mindful movement into daily life.
• Discover the power of the mystical realms in releasing karma and bringing peace to our experience of the physical realm.
• Connect with the healing rhythms of nature.
• Let go of habitual and stagnant patterns of behaviour – family, ancestral and societal conditioning – that are obstructing the free flow of true expression and the realisation of destiny. 
• This retreat will also give you the tools to continue your unfoldment when you return ‘to the world’ after the retreat.
• And, as always, there will be plenty of time to enjoy the company of like-minded souls, together with the beautiful, peaceful and relaxing surroundings of Samye Ling (the first Tibetan Buddhist center in the West) – its temple site, gardens, fairy hill, the café, shop and local countryside.

Feedback from recent retreats

‘Thanks for the last few days on retreat - what a treat 😊.  I loved it all’. Laura 

‘Once again thank you a magical weekend. The spirits were looking over me and I’d a four hour delay to my flight home which was just perfect timing for catching up, reviewing everything and quietly reflecting on the weekend. I’ve come away with a wonderful calmness, clarity and confidence. Given I arrived with panic and fear I really feel so much deep energy has shifted from within and around me. It was a very profound, deep weekend for me. I also have some great new tools for managing my headspace.

Thank you both so much for being so generous and open with your time and energy. This is a wonderful path I’m on and I’m so privileged to have met you and have your support and guidance’. Eloise
