An opportunity to exhale the weight of the year and return home to yourself in the beautiful
surroundings and healing gardens of the Temenos Retreat Centre in McGregor.
What does it mean to reclaim your centre?
To reclaim your center means to return to a state of inner calm, balance, and self-awareness. To recover your sense of inner peace.
All day long we are focusing on whatever appears before us, being pulled in different directions, often leading to stress, tension and an endless loop of thinking.So it’s good to take a time-out, especially in such a serene environment as Temenos, with like-minded individuals encouraging each other to move beyond the noise, and in that process rediscover our freedom, openness and joy.
This weekend is for that reason.We will sit, move and bring in simple practices that help us to remember to relax and let go whenever we find ourself jumping back onto the loop:
An opportunity to exhale the weight of the year and return home to yourself in the beautiful surroundings and healing gardens of the Temenos Retreat Centre in McGregor Using simple to follow movement that focuses on whole body awareness,enervating postural alignment techniques, breathing and meditative practices to ground and stabilize our awareness and embodied experience. We have much wisdom at our disposal, years of experience of what we don’t want; now we are in a place where we can let all that go and embody our present
moment awareness to reap the benefit of who we truly are.We will end the retreat by walking the labyrinth to settle ourselves in our new
found consciousness so that when we leave Temenos to go home, we have a
sense of stability and freedom that can only come from letting go.This retreat is suitable for all bodies. No prior experience is necessary.
