SelfWise Retreats 2012, Polarity Therapy workshops 2012 , HeartSpace 2011 and more …

It was great to attend the HeartSpace2011 festival. Well done Daniel Coates for following this vision. I’m sure next year will be bigger and even more enjoyable. Some early risers joined me for QiGong at dawn each day. We played our QiGong in a medicine wheel crafted especially at the site by Anthony. Thanks Anthony, it was amazing to work in the space you gifted us.

Japan is beckoning so will be closely examining water crystal formations on Hokkaido for two weeks in mid December.

Paradise Resort on Taveuni Island Fuji will be home for most of January 2012. We will be providing Spa training for the staff and also helping out in some other ways at this gorgeous place.

Meanwhile here in Australia we have two retreats coming up in the next couple of weeks. A weekend retreat at North Head for carers 11-13 November and 18-20 November we will be at Gundair Homestead near Gilgandra also working with a group of carers.

SelfWise Retreats 2012. If you are looking for a unique retreat experience then consider coming out to Broken Hill for Easter 2012. There will be a full moon and a night sky out there that goes on forever. Very limited numbers so let me know if you are interested. QiGong, Mindfulness, Meditation, Noble Silence and a massage every day is a nice way to enjoy the western desert.

I will post the full SelfWise Retreat schedule for 2012 in the next couple of weeks.

Polarity Therapy courses in 2012 will be offered in Queensland, various locations in NSW, Victoria and the ACT. I will post these venues and dates in the next couple of weeks.  All Polarity Therapy training workshops provided from 2012 will be at least three day duration to ensure we have time to provide a strong grounding in a form of personal energy building QiGong and to practise a meditation technique to strengthen personal energy awareness. We have experienced in the past six months that it is increasingly important to develop and strengthen our own energy resources as strongly as possible, especially when we providing therapy support to others.

Polarity Therapy training in Australia

We continue to offer Polarity Therapy training here at Manyana and other locations. In the last couple of months it has been good to share Polarity Therapy with therapists on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland and at Anula Healing, in Orange NSW. Last weekend at Manyana we provided the final training session formally scheduled for 2011.

We are now scheduling dates and venues for 2012. At this stage we are planning to offer Polarity Therapy training sessions in Queensland, ACT, Victoria and NSW.

SelfWise Retreats

We have had to postpone the SelfWise Retreat we had scheduled for Paradise resort on Taveuni Island, Fiji. As soon as we have new dates we will post them here. Meanwhile, in Australia we have a couple of retreats coming up at North Head, Manly.

Retreats here at Manyana are proving popular. Please be in contact if you would like to plan your own individual style retreat down here at Manyana. At this time of year, the weather is getting warm, there are plenty of dolphins to see and the bush is showing off a gorgeous array of flowers!

Winter Retreats

Manyana winter sunset

People still need retreats in Winter!
We have been providing SelfWise Retreats in Sydney (at North Head Manly) during June and July. At this stage we have two more scheduled for August.
At Manyana we are providing individual, couple or small group retreats. These are great because we get to prepare our own food – especially Chris – making bread, croissants and keeping the sprouts going in the cooler months. Alfalfa and Fenugreek seem to be OK all year round.
The ocean is still an amazing 18 degrees – irresistible, when this means it is much warmer in the water than on the sand!
Next Polarity Therapy workshop is being held at Manyana in the first weekend of October. There are still two places left in this course.

I am onto the final draft of SelfWise -skills for the journey and sustainable health choices. It will be good to have this finished and available.

SelfWise Personalised Retreats

In March and April we have had the opportunity to provide SelfWise Personalised Retreats down here on the beautiful south coast of New South Wales. These retreats are based on the same principles and are designed to support health and relaxation. And they have the essential components – Mindfulness, Breathing and Meditation. They vary because we negotiate with our guests about the timing and therapies that are provided during the retreat days. For example, one couple wanted to have QiGong, Mindfulness and Meditation sessions in the mornings, followed by individual bodywork treatments, and in the afternoons, more QiGong, Mindfulness and Meditation. This worked beautifully. They stayed in their own accommodation and did their own cooking.

Another retreat was organised at our place at Manyana and included similar features with the addition of journaling, Noble Silence, a beachwalk and swim. The water is still a balmy 22 degrees down here!

So, if you re considering a retreat on the South Coast give us a call and we will work out a SelfWise Retreat program just for you!
