Mind & Body Retreats

REtreats and themed holidays We are exited about this year's May retreat and it's approaching fast. We like to do as much outside as possible.
(3)

What we really like about this retreat is getting to know people that much better and appreciating their specialness that can often be overlooked. That is not quite the same with a larger retreat

Here is a sample of the weekend activities although everything can be subject to last minute change and we will definately be working around the weather. Upon arrival on the Friday:

After settling into

your room you can join us either outside on the lawn or in the yoga room for some easy postures to revitalise from the journey and prepare for the evening meal which is at 6pm

Evening meal consists of 3 courses on a serve yourself arrangement. Meals are vegetarian and it's usually soup to start. You can request meat or if you have any special dietary requirments then please let us know in advance. On the first evening we could take a stroll around the circluar walk around the grounds taking us through the wooded copse, the herb and kitchen garden and the stable block, the sunken garden and old tennis court lawn and past the labyrinth lawn. There will be a social activity and Yin Yoga class to prepare for bed. Saturday

Morning Yoga before breakfast

Breakfast is continental with boiled egg. After breakfast there will be a discussion session followed by meditation. Refreshments will be available mid morning. Two course lunch will normally be a mixed salad selection or quiche and salad followed by a pudding course. After lunch there will be a workshop or discussion followed by the daytime Yoga session with refreshments available and healthy(ish) home made cakes miraclulously appearing mid afternoon. After the evening meal we will be possibly preparing for and carrying out a labyrinth mediation in the grounds followed by a stroll into the village or an alternative socialising activity. Yin Yoga before bed. Sunday will include a pre-breakfast yoga session, an activity to allow breakfast to settle followed by a meditation session. Lunch and a yoga session to prepare for the journey home. Some of the activites we have planned are:

A variety of yoga and relaxation and meditation sessions. Workshops and discusiions i.e. discover your focus in life. Labyrinth meditation

WHEN CHILL IS NOT ENOUGH!

If your life is busy (some may call it stressed)
If your head is full of business (not always your own)
If your mind is still computing as you're drifting off to sleep.
If meditation and stillness don't fit into your regime.

If isolating yourself doesn't quite do it for you.
It's time to take a closer look at what we offer on our retreats (what we do).

We could sum it up in three words: Sun, Sea and FUN

Our days two or three of them are packed with activities to take you to anther place, to new experiences and new friendships found in shared activities. Take time out from your usual commitments and allow some of your inner self to come and play.

Of course there's time to chill too
Take a look and hurry to book if you think it will give you a fresh perspective and a new lease of life.

Did you catch Noddfa on TV? Here are a few stills from the series.
It's great to see one of the labyrinths from the air althugh a lot of the herbs along the way seem to have gone.
The walkers aree taking the paath that leads up the hill side to an excellent view of the shore line below. It's a narrow and crooked path but all the best paths are.
We have spaces for our retreat in June

Have you ever noticed how confusing the English Language can be? Taken in different contexts one words can have two polar opposite meanings.
Take RETREAT for instance. For some retreat means withdraw into peace and quiet even a deep relationship within yourself, time for quiet corners and meant-for-a-long-time to read books . For others it means withdrawal from the restrictions of everyday life with new experiences and divergencies from the normal. Relating to people that you don't normally get the chance to.
Of course we cannot please everyone but there is the opportunity to please yourself on our retreats. There are quiet corners in abundance to meditate or read, there are labyrinths that people take their contemlating to, fantastic gardens and hills to climb for views, a beach not far away. On the other hand in addition to the yoga, which normally takes a diverse approach at least once in the weekend, find other interactive opportunities like singing together, invited guests etc.
We've had people who do the yoga class then go off exploring alone for the remainder of the day just coming back for meals - perfect.
Whatever you want you will be accepted with warmth.

Hey!!!!!

Guess where the big top is coming to town?*!!!!

🎪🤹‍♀️🤹🤹‍♂️ It's so exciting 🚤🎊🎈🎉🎎🗡🎪🤹‍♀️🤹🤹‍♂️🎭🎩

Yes you guessed - at our next retreat🎩 we are thinking of having a 🎪🤹‍♀️circus workshop. So if you ever fancied being a daring young man on a flying trapeze, or a fire eating, sword swallowing daredevil, you may have to sign up for the advanced course after the retreat.

It will be a bit more basic but a lot more fun So polish up your show gear, get out your best shoes and get ready!

This is of course unless you think it's a really bad idea, (cos it's your retreat). It could be on the Friday evening after dinner.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP

There is also the possiblity for a scarf dancing session. This is an opportunity to get into graceful mode and let your body (and your scarf) do the talking, swirling gently to the beautiful music (if its indoors) giving you a kind of free movement stretch.
Let me know if you would like to take part in such an activity please. The leader Cath, is very graceful and scarves are supplied.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW

A retreat or so ago we got into singing along to some spiritual and some well loved songs. Singing is a great way to share Vocal energies and stay in the present moment. The request was that Barry should supply some advanced notice so that people could get familiar with the songS. Many are spiritual but some are popular sing-a -longs. Please let me know if this is something you would like at the coming retreat.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW

I have contacted the massage therapist who tells me her price has gone up to £45. Please let me know if you are interested in a massage at the weekend.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP

Is there anything else you would like at the weekend (no guarnantees)

PLEASE LET ME KNOW

Relaxing doesn't need to be about reclining and lounging. Laughing, trying new things, joining in, sharing, interacting, all these things and more can give you a very liberating and relaxing few days. You will find most of the above on our retreats as well as the opportunity to relax, recline and rest, find a quiet corner of which there are many and let go.

You can reserve your place on June 24 retreat now - read more about it. https://www.mindandbodybury.co.uk/events.html_225710.html

Here's hoping you all got your early bird deposits in to save those mega bucks.
Let's take another trip down memory Lane back to 2014. This was a hotel nr Chester a great place where we had two things going on at a time as we had two big activity rooms. Anyone who was there will remember the hilarious teddy bears picnic.
We just did this one once.
A few familiar face that we still see at the retreats and one lovely lady who is sadly no longer with us.

Retreat humour: Andrea noticed a peculiar smell and Soo felt compelled to demonstrate that it was nothing to do with her.

27/07/2023

Not even a year to go now. I am amazed that every year the sunset is a spectacular and yet different spectacle. One of the most favourite things of the trip for me. It has almost become a pilgrimage for us all to trot down to the beach as soon as we arrive (more or less) and check it out. On your staring blocks, ready, steady .. go

26/07/2023

Making the journey part of the break. We usually set off a bit early and make a stop or two. This is Star Bucks for a coffee. We've gone off piste a few times and took a detour to find some interesting little place. There's so many funky little places to explore.
Don't forget to book before end of this month for your big huge discount and room choices (on a wing and a prayer)

It's not long now

Dear retreaters, we can't wait to meet up again (but we have to). Just a little nod to ask that if you have not yet paid 1/2 the cost of the retreat could you please do so by next Friday and the full amount due on 1st June (unless we have agreed other arrangements.) We've been sending invoices out today.
