Wandering Workshops

It’s been far too long since I wrote on this blog.  I’ve been sharing many a joyful moments and deep connections across South Africa and the UK, with journeys to Ghana and Uganda along the way.  Tonight, I’ve finally had a chance to look over some of the workshops I’ve been blessed to have a chance to run at festivals and retreat centres on both continents.

From life mandalas, to meditation, awakening passions in the developing world to mindfulness, different places, same awakening manifesting.

From the wide spaciousness and openness of the Buddhafield community in Devon, to Learning Man, South Africa’s first talent exchange festival, a community blossoming through a collective vision of responsible living and open heartedness.  And running my own retreats in Essex and Herefordshire along with a close friend Sunnah Rose was especially fun.  I wanted to share some of my special moments in this photo mosaic.

Yoga and Meditation Weekend 27-29th September

meditation-6To all my lovely followers, the time has come at last and I’ll be running a yoga and meditation retreat for the weekend of September 27th-29th in the beautiful Malvern Hills.  I’ll be running the retreat alongside the fabulous Sunnah Rose, who has been teaching yoga and running retreats for over ten years.  She also happens to be one of my best friends.

Whether you’re completely new to meditation and/or yoga or are hoping to deepen your practice, a retreat is a perfect opportunity for you to get away from it all and notice how the calming natural setting, like minded company and inspiring sessions help stimulate inner peace, enhance awareness and leave you feeling refreshed, open and compassionate to those around you.

The retreat is entitled Grounding: Moving out of your heads and into your body.  You can find out everything you need to know and book onto the retreat here.
