In Chinese philosophy winter is the time of the Bear. A time for enquiry, listening and refueling. Most cultures have a time to venture within and feel the subtle energies that fuel our health and longevity.

Accessing these energies requires a sensitivity that only arises in the presence of a still mind.

The information age, with its over saturation of the senses, provides an obstacle. But it also provides tools.

The tools that we will explore in this workshop are based on ancient practices that can replicate the benefits of a month in the cave and turbo-charge the journey within.

WHAT THE WORKSHOP INVOLVES:

Instruction in vedic meditation
Powerful breathwork techniques
Toltec movement practices
Sanskrit chanting (to the sweet sounds of live harmonium)
An exploration of shiatsu touch and partner bodywork
Live yoga nidra

We’ll finish the workshop with a reflective, and delicious lunch.
