Ahh – a return to inner peace, clarity and rejuvenation – those are the words we used to express our recent experience, attending a 6-day residential Retreat in a beautiful sanctuary in Byron Bay.
We arrived feeling stressed & exhausted from so much happening in our lives – needing time out to heal & recover. This was no holiday, by any stretch of the imagination: a full program of activities that enabled us to re-energise our bodies & still our busy minds.
This is what we got up to:
• Yummy healthy food (I had to put that first!)
• Mindfulness & Meditation – instruction & practice
• Restorative Yoga
• Qigong & Tai Chi
• Periods of silence
• Inspirational film
• Sound bath
• Kirtan music
• Walking meditation
• Pool & beach for recreation
• Rest times
• Therapeutic body treatments
• Forest walks
After all that – we returned refreshed with a more balanced perspective on what is before us.
We have incorporated some of the techniques & tools into our daily lives and are looking forward to sharing what we have learned with others.
