WHAT TO EXPECT?

Your body has its own genius navigation system that orients you in relation to the space around you.

This awareness is known as proprioception and can be demonstrated by the ability you to touch your nose with your index finger when your eyes are closed. 

During the retreat we will be developing our felt sense of the body and our sensitivity to energy using Food Medicine, Qi Gong Exercise, Acupoints plus Guided and Walking Meditations, which when used with proprioception can light up all the energy pathways in your body, giving you a sense of true self, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Take time to develop and nurture a loving connection with your body and mind. 

  • Conscious Cooking Classes focusing on recipes to improve kidney and liver function, boosting metabolism, lowering cholesterol and blood sugars.
  • Amazing Vegetarian Meals cooked by our personal chef.
  • Qi Gong sessions – using the breath and movement to flow energy in through the body, reducing pain, improving energy levels and bringing the body and soul back home to balance.
  • Self Shiatsu sessions – learning to develop sensitivity to the body by using 3 major acupressure points for everyday health, balance & well being.
  • Time to rest and restore in the stunning grounds, walk the labyrinth, chill at the pool, find a cozy corner to journal and experience the chat at the evening outdoor fire.

This is perfect if you are feeling exhausted or burnt out, or if you need to reconnect with yourself and renew your  life path.
