The Slow Way Retreat Part 1 Feed Me Slowly - Somatic Eating And Moving Retreat
In a world ruled by speed and distraction, The Slow Way Retreat offers a gentle invitation to pause, smell, taste and reconnect with the magic of life through food. Guided by Nicholas McLean, FeedmeGreen founder, we will explore intuitive SomaSensing movement, presence in nature, and of course The Slow Feast — a practice of somatic eating that awakens the senses and cultivates presence. This weekend of slowness restores balance to the nervous system, deepens awareness, and awakens the joy of living. Through slowness, life comes alive.

His offerings are grounded in a reverence for nature, with somatic awareness, and in faith that food - when approached slowly and mindfully - can be one of life's greatest teachers and medicines.

 Brighten your day and step into spring. Join us for a personal retreat mid week. Meditation and qigong are on offer. Alternatively, you may choose to simply enjoy the tranquillity of the space and embrace the art of doing nothing – seriously. This time out offers a slower rhythm, allowing you to step back from the busyness of life and find peace within.
View teacher details Hide teacher details 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.
