Event Information
About this event
Treat yourself to a day-long retreat, at the Woolshed, set in the lovely gardened setting of Gear Homestead, to explore and practise a more natural state of being. This retreat is particularly designed to calm the mind, down-regulate the nervous system and reduce stress. We’ll use sitting mindfulness and breath practices, plus a qi gong (chi kung) and breath sequence designed to reduce anxiety. There will be time to sit and walk at breaks, or to rest, and to write.
- Replenish your energy and reduce stress and anxiety
- Nourish your well being and mental health
- Enjoy the benefits of giving your mind a rest from over-thinking.
There is no religion, dogma or belief systems proposed in this retreat. Emphasis is given to your own experience, not theory. The retreat is suitable for beginners, and for those with experience in mindfulness meditation and qi gong.
