‘How can we access pleasure, joy and liberation if we are too tired to experience it? We speak so highly of all the material and non-material things we desire to feel whole and expansive without addressing the sleep deprivation, exhaustion and disconnection we suffer from.’ Tricia Hersey, Rest is Resistance

This retreat is a gift of time where you are encouraged to put down your burdens and receive the benefits of deep rest: better health, vitality and sleep, more clarity, responsiveness and resilience, humour and lightness of heart, and a wider, expansive vision. 

This act is radical for many of us. Taking time to rest requires unlearning deep-held beliefs that lock us into stressful behaviours that drive us to be productive, busy, proving our worth - but also radical, in that such slowing down helps us return to the root of our self, to listen to and take care of our body and soul and return to harmonious relationship with what life is offering us.

These four days and five nights will be largely for you, with a light touch from us, and  include: 

• restful practices to take back into your life 

• a bespoke hands-on treatment of your choice

• two Feldenkrais lessons for self-regulation and better sleep

• a day of solitary retreat and silence

• accommodation and all meals

Cost: 575€.
