YOGA

Start the day with a Zenthai yoga flow under the trees with Sonia. Experience mindful movement to release stress, get grounded and enhance creativity. In this session you will restore balance and calm to your body, mind and spirit.

ART + NATURE CONNECTION

Bianca will guide you to draw in your individual style over a 2 hour session, as you refine your observational eye and gain confidence in your artistic abilities, whilst recording impressions of the environment. Your natural approach to drawing will be enhanced as you drop into the body and out of the mind with a sensory bushwalking meditation. This drawing workshop is about getting curious, noticing and slowing down to find connection and belonging to our environment and selves. All materials will be provided.

ZENTHAI SHIATSU

The art of Zenthai Shiatsu will be led by Sonia in a 2 hour session that will leave you feeling deeply present with your body. The curated movement sequence in both giving and receiving will focus on releasing tension in the lower back and replenishing the kidneys. In line with the season of Autumn, we will be restoring and cleansing the systems that can otherwise stagnate with the dry and cool weather. Zenthai Shiatsu is a movement style inspired by Eastern philosophy, Qigong, yoga asana and Chinese medicine.

"Cultivate nature's inspiring energy and tap into your inner artist and rejuvenated self."
