Teacher: Kirsten Hunneyball
Cost: 2 days accommodaion + R350 surcharge
Dates:
Join Kirsten for a transformative mid-week retreat in helping individuals reconnect with their relationship to themselves and their body’s wisdom. With a deeply personal journey of recovery from Anorexia and Bulimia, she has dedicated her life to understanding the intricate ways we relate to our bodies. She believes that true, sustainable transformation begins with cultivating a curious connection to the body, mind, and spirit. During this retreat, we will explore various practices through a polyvagal-informed lens, emphasizing the importance of understanding and regulating the nervous system. This approach is grounded in the Polyvagal Theory, which explains how our autonomic nervous system responds to stress and how we can cultivate safety and connection within ourselves and others. The sessions will include:gentle yoga to calm the nervous system, foster body awareness, and enhance your sense of safety and grounding; embodied focusing that helps you tune into your body's sensations and signals, fostering a deeper understanding of your emotional and physiological states whilst co-regulating with other; light breathwork techniques that promote regulation and balance within the autonomic nervous system, helping to shift from a state of stress or anxiety to one of calm and connection; mindful movement and meditation and group discussions.
View teacher details Hide teacher details Kirsten Hunneyball is a Coach who works primarily with those suffering from disregulated relationships to food and their bodies. Her own recovery from Anorexia and Bulimia inspires her lifelong journey to understand the nature of the way we relate to our bodies. She has studied as an Addictions Recovery Coach, Trauma Sensitive Yoga Teacher, and works from a Polyvagal Informed lens. Having completed the Felt Sense for Addiction and Trauma Certification through the Polyvagal Institute, she brings elements of a practice called "Focusing" into her work, reminding us of the beauty of human-to-human connection and the body in your healing journey.

Teacher: Paul Dorrian
Cost: 2 days accommodation + R300 surcharge
Dates:
The White Stork Displays Its Wing - A Beginner’s Introduction to Yang Style Tai Chi, or to give it its full name, Tai Chi Chuan, has often been regarded as a dynamic form of Qigong, or ‘the cultivation of energy’ to help regulate one’s system and prevent disease, thereby leading to the development and maintenance of good health and well-being. Most people associate Tai Chi with flowing, graceful movements. Yet there is much more to the practice of this ancient Chinese art. The great Yang Tai Chi Master T.T. Liang (1900-2002), stated that there are four categories into which the principles of Tai Chi fall, namely health, self-defence, mental accomplishment and the road to immortality. In this retreat, Paul will demystify Tai Chi using the Yang style, which can be traced back to Ch’en Wang Ting (1597-1664). Paul’s intention is to inspire retreatants to further investigate Tai Chi and to find a teacher near their home.
View teacher details Hide teacher details Paul Dorrian is a former international management consultant, author and speaker. His interest in improving employee wellness in the work place led him to teach Chi Gung and Tai Chi Chuan. Paul has studied these disciplines under various teachers in the UK and Spain, and with the late Master Dr Nico Snyman, his current teacher Master Marleen Bilas and with his Grandmaster Dr Lin Feng-Chao. He now teaches Tai Chi Chuan in the Yang style and Chi Gung in the Pa Tuan Chin, Healing Sounds and Zhan Zhuang styles at his school, the Lin Li School of Tai Chi Chuan, and with private students, in Pietermaritzburg.
