22nd & 23rd: Cultivating Interoception - Slow Yoga, I Liq Chuan and Feldenkrais with Chris and Bevie This workshop will explore cultivating interoception and building resilience using three types of bodywork modalities, Slow Yoga, Feldenkrais and I Liq Chuan. These bodywork modalities will be practiced slowly and mindfully, the key to cultivating interoception. Bodywork sessions will be interspersed with short meditation sits. Interoception is the felt sense of the internal state of the body. Slow mindful movement practice is an excellent vehicle for cultivating interoceptive awareness. This approach to bodywork is gentle and easy to learn and explores ways to balance and naturally deepen your individual practice always respecting your personal limits.

28th - 30th: Bringing Our Kinship with Nature to Life with Helene In this workshop, we’ll get to experience just how inseparable are our personal lives and the wider life and losses of the planet.
