HEALING YOGA, MEDITATION , AND CREATIVITY with Marie Angeline Lascaux April 4th to 6th

"Journey into the heart through healing yoga, breathing, moving meditation, deep relaxation, visualisation and writing meditation. This workshop is gentle, healing, nurturing and empowering"

Let go of any expectation and trust as we stretch, breathe, dance, relax, and meditate, gradually removing the blocks to your creativity, then pick up your pen and see where it leads you. You do not have to be a writer to take part in this workshop. I will guide you gently from stillness through moving meditation to writing meditation and back to stillness again, unravelling and removing blockages to your true voice. Let go of logic and follow your own rhythm from inertia to ecstasy. This workshop is gentle, healing, empowering and nurturing.

Who it is suitable for

The Yoga is quite gentle and is suitable for all ages, whether fit or unfit.

One does not need 'to be able to sing, write or even meditate'. These will all be introduced in a supportative fun way.

What you should bring with you

Bed linen is supplied, but you will need to bring your own towels.

We do not wear shoes inside the house so you may like to bring slippers or thick socks. However, the underfloor heating makes bare feet quite comfortable all year round.

We do not let the weather stop our hill or sea walks, so it is always a good idea to bring good walking shoes, raingear and also swimming gear if you would like to swim in the lake which is near the centre.

Staying an additional night

This needs to be arranged with the centre beforehand and depends on availability.
