SUMMARY:Winter Retreat with Michelle Faye Pereira

We kindly request all participants to be present on time)\nWinter is the perfect time to pause, reflect and reset. Winter is an invitation to spiritual hibernation.\nIf you are looking to take a short break from everyday life; or, in need of a space of deep silence, healing and reflection; if you are missing a sense of community – this immersive retreat offers support and space to practice meditation, learn psychological methods to uncover wisdom from the churns and enjoy the love of sangha.\nThis is a partially silent program, with 4 days allocated to complete Noble Silence and 3 days where connecting with the community and talking will be allowed. Enjoy meditation, silent mindful meals and quiet time in the lap of nature. We will reap the maximum benefit of practising and living with a community, there are days for joyful interaction, an outing and deep sharing circles too.\nDuring the week we will constantly tune into our sense of deeper knowing, that guides us to the truest healing, transformation and awakening. The intention is to take deep care of mind, body and spirit so that you may return to your life feeling more connected and aligned with your deeper self.\nEmerge from the winter into a spring of your life where you feel free to be your truest self in the world.\nExplore:\n* Meditation for beginners and also advanced practitioners.\n* Cultivating wisdom and insights.\n* Tuning into the organic intelligence of the body.\n* Gateways to the deeper knowing.\n* Space to reflect and contemplate on what needs attention and alignment in your inner and outer life.\n*Listening to the heart.\nExperience:\n* Sitting, Movement and Tea Meditation.\n* Stream of Consciousness Journalling.\n* Breathwork and Somatic Movement.\n* Deep listening circles.\n* Free time to chill in the library, write, draw, relax in nature, or just sleep.\n* A break from the phone, emails and social media.\nAbout the Facilitator:\nMichelle Faye Pereira is a Holistic Counselling Psychologist and a Meditation Guide.
