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.

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!

Come and say hello at the Natural Health Conference and Expo at Randwick Race Course (AJC) Convention Centre, 4/5 March 2011.
We (Australian Polarity Therapy Association) have booked an expo table and practitioner space to show and tell people about Polarity Therapy. So come and have a chat to us about Polarity, maybe get a free half hour treatment, check out Polarity posters and books for sale.

We have just completed another session of Spa training for staff at Paradise Resort, Taveuni Island, Fiji. It is always great to work with these enthusiastic Fijians. They are natural body workers and pick up the skills easily.

We have just finished a busy schedule of retreats in country NSW at Gilgandra and North Head, Manly in Sydney. Each retreat offered wonderful learning options for all of us!

International Polarity Educators Alliance has invited us to attend in an augural meeting being held in up state New York, 12-14 November 2010. Should be good to see some old friends, make some new acquaintances and have a session with John Beaulieu to learn more about his sound healing techniques. We will be away 4-19 November.

Paradise Resort on the beautiful Taveuni Island, Fiji is beckoning again. From 24 November – 10 December 2010, we will be providing a week of spa therapy training for new staff, some refresher training for experienced staff and then enjoying a week of diving and exploring in Paradise.

Polarity Therapy training course dates have been set for the first four months in 2011.
Two day introductory courses will be provided on alternate months during 2011. The first two courses are scheduled for 8/9 January and 5/6 March.
Five day courses will be provided every alternate month. The first two courses are scheduled for 7-11 February and 4-8 April.
The venue for these courses is Manyana on the south coast of New South Wales.

South Coast winter has been beautiful here at Manyana. We have enjoyed a steady stream of clients and visitors wanting to get away from stress and busy lives. Here at Manyana they have enjoyed healthy home cooking, rejuvenating natural therapies, daily Chi Gong and meditation and our restful ambience.
Please phone 02 44561314 to check for vacancies in the coming months.

Polarity Therapy training courses
The two Polarity Therapy training courses we have held in the last month have been very successful and stimulating.
Please check dates for upcoming courses and contact us about availability.

We have finally settled in the beautiful Manyana. The few months we spent in Fiji working at Paradise Resort, Taveuni Island has provided many happy memories and a great fondness for the Fijian people. Now at Manyana we will be developing Southern Ocean Natural Therapies as a local resource. We will be providing therapy and training as well as offering Qi Gong and meditation. It will also be our base for developing and promoting Polarity Therapy training and Spa work in Australasia. We will also be developing our SelfWise work both in the form of Retreats and as a publication.
