Experience more ease and vitality, and reduce anxiety and stress in your day-to-day life Join me for a day, at the lovely Vartamana Healing Retreat near the Waitakeres, to explore and practise a more natural state of being. During the day we will explore mindfulness meditation, breath and qi gong movements with a particular emphasis on down-regulating the nervous system and releasing anxiety. Chunks of the day will be in silence for participants, but full instruction and guidance will be offered. There will be time to sit and walk at breaks, or to rest, and to write.

During the day you will be guided in these, and more:

• Mindfulness meditation practice
• Breath work to relax the mind, oxygenate the body and calm anxiety
• A qi gong sequence that you can practice at home for calm, ease and balance
• Practices to stretch and energise your body, and calm your mind
• Tips to build mindfulness into everyday life
• Practices to improve sleep
