Revitalise Your Natural Essence
Dates: 2 - 4th February 2018
This 3-day retreat invites you to unwind in the serene settings of Lisvanagh country estate in Carlow (just over an hours drive from Dublin).
Our intention is to revitalise the body to its natural capacity for healing, learn from its wisdom, align with our true nature and develop greater self-awareness.
Opening the body we open the mind.
Through the body, we will experience space, stillness, e-motion, sensation, vibration and bliss.

• Somatic Movement
• Tension & Trauma Release
• Soul-Dance (no dance experience needed)
• Dynamic Meditation
