Wu Tao Winter Dance Retreat 2016
Govinda Valley NSW Friday 27 – Sun 29 May
Imagine 2 days and nights to immerse yourself in a dance process that restores your vital energy and brings your mind to stillness and peace. Winter is the time for dreaming and building your energy. Wu Tao Dance is the ideal way to restore your Qi (life-force energy), reflect on your soul’s purpose and bring balance to both your inner and outer worlds. We often find it difficult to take time out to truly nourish and heal ourselves. Winter gives us the perfect opportunity to do this. The cool days entice us to sit in a warm place and reflect. They also encourage to move our bodies to stay warm! Nourishing food, good sleep, meditation and gentle exercise are all proven ways to improve physical and emotional health.
This Wu Tao retreat will give you all that and more. The powerful healing dance process will restore your vital energy gently and beautifully. Working within the Chinese Medicine system, we will explore the 5 elements and our relationship to them at the physical, emotional and spiritual levels.
- Where do you need healing?
- Where are you out of balance?
- What does my soul and body need?
These are questions we will ask and have answered during the retreat.
I invite you to join me for a weekend of joyful emotional healing, physical restoration and fun! Dance and connect with like-minded people in a supportive, relaxed setting. Enjoy beautiful nutritious food and soak up the peace and vitality of the natural environment that surrounds you. Workshop will include a workbook/journal to record your healing journey over the weekend and a digital copy of your favourite Wu Tao DVD (your choice).
