SUMMARY:2 Day Spring Retreat MOVEMENT & MEDITATION with Steve Ferrell
DESCRIPTION:Traditionally\, Yoga and meditation walked hand-in-hand. The two were complimentary practices that when blended together would help us move through our lives with more presence\, more awareness\, and less reactivity. In this 2 day-long retreat\, Steve Ferrell will be combining Yoga and movement practices with formal meditation practice\, teaching how to pull these practices into a well-rounded approach to living Mindfulness in everyday life. \nHumans are creatures of movement and action. And\, whereas Meditation teaches us how to observe\, settle and interact with the mind\, primarily through stillness\, Yoga teaches us how to use the wisdom from Meditation and put it into action. Being more present and engaged with our inner world as we move through an outer world. This is Mindfulness. \nThese 2 days will consist of movement practices\, designed to draw more attention to the interaction between body\, mind and world\, mixed with formal meditation practices for beginner and more experienced practitioners. Throughout the day\, Steve will also be giving small talks about how to integrate Mindfulness practices into everyday life\, showing us that practice does not have to stop when we leave the meditation cushion or the Yoga mat. Steve is a strong believer that the cushion and the mat are the training ground for us to cultivate more mindfulness into the rest of our lives. Thus\, creating a life of presence\, curiosity and engagement. For more information feel free to message or email me at steveferrellcounselling@gmail.com \nThis retreat runs from 9 am to 4 pm on June 13 and 14 \nPlease enquire for single day option \nTo register go to LINK
