Like Water Through Water: Kum Nye Self Massage

“Massage means interaction. When you massage yourself, you are not affecting only one place on your body; your whole body participates in the massage. A reciprocal relationship develops between your hand and the muscle or the point the hand massages, generating feelings that stimulate interactions throughout the body. Interaction also occurs between physical and non-physical levels of existence, and this interaction stimulates certain energies that, not restricted to the body’s boundaries, spread to the surrounding world.”

From Caterpillars Into Butterflies

Four Urban Retreat Weekends: Day/Time: Saturday 10.00 to 17.00 and Sunday 13.30 to 17.30 (non residential)
Each weekend can stand alone but, as they complement each other, is best taken as a course.
Useful if you wish to take time for yourself, to explore new elements of dharma and yogic practice and find ways to engage with yourself and the world on a meaningful and embodied level.

Presense and Transformation 15th and 16th Feb. Whatever approaches we're most influenced by, our practice can be seen as a way of becoming more embodied, more sensitive to our experience and more present to the body, in all its vitality and tenderness.
The Healing Dimensions of the Heart 18th and 19th April. Our most transformational changes come from the heart. Opening the heart gives us access to the ability to open outward and engage with the world on a more meaningful level.
Openness, Clarity, Sensitivity 19th and 20th Sept. Opening up the senses, attuning the inner ear, tasting joy - yoga as prayer.
Weaving the Dance of Life 5th and 6th Dec. Expressing our true nature - Kum Nye Dance.

Snacks and hot drinks provided. Bring a packed lunch on the Saturday.
