LOVE YOUR SWEET SELF WEEKEND RETREAT
22, 23, 24 September 2023
Mucklagh Lodge, Wicklow, Ireland
Improving your relationship with sugar with Qi Gong, 5 Element Food Medicine and Self Acupressure
☯️ Do you strive to eat healthily but get lost in cravings or habitual eating patterns?
☯️ Is there a sense of lack that cannot be satisfied in your life?
☯️ Would you like to lose weight but don’t know where to start?
☯️ Have you lost pleasure in food?
In Chinese medicine, this suggests your stomach and spleen energy is out of balance. Energetically these are the meridians of the nourishing mother earth element and their flavour is sweet.
This weekend aims to bring an awareness of the body’s emotional and physical needs for balance and wellness.
Learn how to satisfy with mindful practices and sweet soul food
Come and unload the mental stresses and physical strains, have some fun and learn Qi Gong, Acupressure and Food Therapy that can nourish your sweet self in everyday life.
In this simple, nurturing weekend, you can understand the clear connection between our emotions, our vitality, the food we choose and how it directly affects our health.
Weekend includes:
☯️ Qi Gong sessions
☯️ Cooking class and demonstrations
☯️ Self Shiatsu sessions
☯️ Walking Qi Gong meditation
☯️ Traditional Chinese Medicine class

Here’s what some women had to say after a retreat…
“Joanne has a special talent for putting people at ease, and is a wealth of knowledge about TCM, Shiatsu, Qi Gong and what to eat to feel well. Her retreats are just glorious, relaxing, immersive and you come away feeling like you’ve had a 2 week holiday in a health spa. Highly recommended to switch off and decompress.”
