Christel and Eleen, long-time collaborators, invite you to a transformative weekend dedicated to tuning your body, heart, and soul through sacred music, meditation, and contemplation. Engage in morning attunements with breath, voice, and mantra, alongside gentle body movements such as neigong, kundalini yoga, biodanza, and song circles. We will also immerse ourselves in nature observation and meditation.
Eleen Polson is a counselling psychologist specialising in expressive arts therapy and trauma release. Her personal spiritual practices are Neigong and Kundalini Yoga, which she weaves into Embodied Wisdom Group sessions - deeply transformative experiences for health care professionals. She is a very experienced Biodanza facilitator.
As autumn approaches, we invite you to take a break and join us for an unstructured personal retreat. During your stay, you can enjoy gentle yoga, qigong, massage therapy, and meditation - to promote relaxation. Alternatively, you may choose to simply enjoy the tranquillity of the space, embracing the art of doing nothing. Imagine cozying up by a warm fire, savouring delicious vegetarian meals, and immersing yourself in silence. This time out offers a slower rhythm, allowing you to step back from the busyness of life and find peace within.
William (Shogan) has been practising meditation for nearly 20 years, cultivating stillness and inquiry. He took precepts with Dae Chong, Osho at Poplar Grove and now leads morning and evening zazen at the BRC, weaving verses from the Dhammapada into meditation for reflection and insight. With a keen interest in how the Dharma might evolve in an AI-driven, multiplanetary future, William embraces both tradition and possibility. He also guides qigong in the mornings and offers tai chi in the afternoons, integrating movement into mindfulness. His practice is an invitation - to sit, to move, and to explore the ever-expanding nature of awareness.
