I loved the balance of new practices outdoors
I liked the amazing mix of formal and informal, indoor and outdoor practices.
Refreshing practices and discovering outdoors as a tool
I feel so different after so much practice and movement outside in this beautiful place
So beneficial for everyone’s physical and mental health
Enlightening practices and and wonderful to be out in the woods. I couldn’t believe the amount of stars at night.
Beneficial and nourishing
Nature part was massive – so enjoyed it
The outdoor work was amazing
The support of nature elements for Mindfulness works really well
Grounding, supported, refreshing and uplifted weekend. Felt held throughout
Greatly enjoyed and benefitted from the integration of formal practice with movement and the natural world.
I felt connection with my environment on a whole other level I didn’t know possible. I was able to sit with anxiety for the first time ever.
I loved the time spent outdoors and having the opportunity to slow down and appreciate all the little things.
Qigong was very enjoyable add felt like a wonderful complement to sitting
Loved every minute of the course. Exceeded my expectations. Felt so relaxed and well rested.
